Very spacious and comfortable home. Location right by the lake was so peaceful and so relaxing.

Lots of space, comfortable, quiet and great outlook across the lake. Away from the sulfur smell of Rotorua. BYO toiletries but kitchen is well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, dishwashing liquid and tablets for dishwasher. Don’t let the poorly formatted slightly aggressive emails from the property manager detailing all the rules put you off. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful outlook and comfy home. We enjoyed our stay. House was a bit cold but would be great in the summer months, and the bedding was very warm and cosy.

Great place to stay. Lovely quiet area with an amazing view of the lake. Within easy drive to a number of Rotorua's attractions. Also loved that we could take our dog there, nice secure section for her to run around in out front. Had everything we needed, great amount of spaceand the pellet fire was awesome. Thanks for the space to stay.

We needed a place to base ourselves in Rototura but were a mixed family group. This place ticked all the boxes, something for all of us. Kids had a great time, swimming and kayaking. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and kick the ball around. Two bathrooms were a winner. Definitely coming back here.

Great place for families perfect for what we wanted right on the lake, layout of place really lovely, we really enjoyed our stay here.

We loved the holiday home. It was perfect for our family with three small children. They had enough space to play indoors and outdoors. The lakeside sunset views are incredible. It was cozy and the beds were comfortable. We would stay here again. Normal and Fiona were very responsive and helpful in planning our stay.

The house was beautiful very clean and spacious with everything at your fingertips and much more. Right on the lakes edge with stunning views of the lake and Mokoia island. We enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate in staying there again. Thank you very much for having us.

A very well appointed property in a great location. Great set up and ideal for couples with two separate onsuites. Highly recommended. The only suggestions we had for improvement were a larger 3 seater couch in the lounge and active recycling bin usage onsite.

Overall the house met our needs. It is quite small with the internal bedrooms not having a lot of privacy. The house was very cold but lots of oil heaters and a pellet heater. The heater in the main bedroom did not work well and did not heat the area sufficiently. The house would be ok in the summer months. The property was tidy, but I felt could have been cleaned better. The manager was not particularly friendly and quite sarcastic in some of his replies to questions. I think Norman needs a job where he doesn’t have to liaise with the public. I may have overlooked the above if he was friendly.

It was well located with a great view. A nice cottage where we appreciated the fireplace as it was very cold at that time.

We were 2 families with school-aged kids traveling around New Zealand. This house was nice and comfortable. It was relatively centrally located for Rotorua. I had several questions, and Norman answered them promptly!

Perfect for our family, beautiful views from the lounges with the property being on the lake. Close to all amenities & the best part is that we were able to bring our fur-baby to enjoy the holiday with us. Thank you we will be back :)

The house was smaller than expected but comfortable.

Great location amazing view super clean.

Check in process was easy and the house was located in a great spot.

Great spot really enjoyed my time here with family and friends the views of the sunrise and set over the mighty lake Rotorua was amazing!

This place was perfect for our large group with two families. It has a beautiful view overlooking the lake, and a great backyard. It was great to be able to take our pup with us.

Stunning location

Really family friendly property that was well equipped for our stay. Super clean and great communication with the property manager. Would love to come back in summer!

A brilliant family environment… plenty big enough for two couples then plus others if they show up! We would recommend and return if we have the opportunity. Best regards Fiona & Bruce

Great location, easy drive to all the places we wanted to see, easy check-in.

Beautiful and clean property, absolutely gorgeous view, and very convenient location. Loved our stay here, and we will be back.

Clean and comfortable with all amenities included. Relaxing afternoons beside the lake. It offered great views from the loungeroom especially when the weather isn't ideal. We were six adults and only downfall was the bunkbeds in small rooms. This was probably to be expected but did not detract from the overall great experience.

The views from the living room/dining room made this stay amazing. From the constant bird viewing, to the amazing sunsets, this place can't be beat. Even took out he stand up paddle board a couple times. So much fun. No loud sound issues with the close proximity to the airport either. Barely heard a couple prop planes in the distance. Perfect place to stay with a full family. So much room to spread out. Will definitely rent this place again in the future.

Lovely house to stay at with plenty to do with the kids, they loved the kayaks and the park just a short walk down the along the lakeside. Was a perfect place to spend a long weekend at. Clean, tidy, beautiful views right on the lake. And an extra bonus is being able to have your dog in a closed in backyard. Just a note for those with jumpy larger dogs; the fence is very low lakefront but our little dog was safely contained and all fence lines have had care to keep dogs in which is appreciated!

We had an amazing stay, the Bach had everything we needed for a comfy stay. I would highly recommend, the hosts went above & beyond.

Lovely cottage right on the water front, great views from lots of rooms, and plenty of space for our family of 5. Spotlessly clean. Kitchen was small in size but extremely well equipped, and the house had everything we needed for our little break away. Thank you to the hosts and owners for sharing your slice of paradise with us. Convenient location away from the hustle and bustle of Rotorua, but still handy to town (despite the extensive roadworks on the main road) Corner dairy is just a short bike ride away, and supermarket and takeaway options just a short drive away at Owhata. I loved just relaxing, and watching the lake views, the birds, and the passers by enjoying the reserve walkway. The only down side of our stay was that everything we had read about Hannahs Bay suggested it was the perfect spot for swimming, sailing and water activities. However, the first thing we did when we first arrived, was go for a stroll to stretch our legs after the drive, and at the boatramp, discovered a health warning saying that swimming and any physical contact with the water was not advised. Lawa website confirmed that this health warning had been in place since Dec 22. We would have been completely unaware had we not stumbled across the sign on our walk, so that did put a bit of a dampner on our holiday. We selected this property to stay at (and paid their peak season rate) with visions of cooling off in the lake, and a day of water activities such as kayaking and paddle boarding right on our back doorstep as our holiday entertainment. In fact the water activities were the main selling point of this location for our family, but with the warning suggesting no contact with the water, we ended up having to venture to other lakes in the area for swims, and didnt get to utilise the kayaks or SUP at the holiay house, which was a real shame. Other than that, we enjoyed the use of this house for our base.

The perfect place to spend your summer holiday at the lake and close to mountain bike park. Everything thing you could ask for. Will be booking to stay again for sure.

Lovely spot right on the lake, and great to have the boat ramp so close also. The owner of the house turned up unexpectedly, really concerned about the rubbish (the housekeeper had already communicated that we were to put the bins out during our stay as they were full from previous guests) Even after him sorting through all bins, they were not collected, so really not sure what happened there. Would have been great if the lawns were mowed but all in all a nice place to stay.

A wonderful spot right on the water. Great spot to spend a week with your family.

We had a great time. The house was roomy and has everything we needed. The views were awesome on both sunny days and stormy ones!
