The view was amazing Cottage was cosy and warm, felt just like home. The washing machine and dryer was a excellent addition and lovely surprise. The little touches were great as well.

Having to leave

Great location, views, and surroundings are perfect for family. Happily greeted by furry friendly hosts, who made our stay a lot of fun.

Beautiful surroundings, comfortable house

None

The place was amazing! Private from the main house we felt like we had a little world of our own. Only 15 minute drive into the centre of Rotorua, but no sulphuric smell at all at this place! Very clean, spectacular view both day and night, comfy beds. It was cold the day we arrived but the reverse cycle air con was already on hearing the living room and the electric blankets heating the beds - also had oil heaters in each bedroom we could use. We all found the whole place super comfortable and really nice to stay in - only wished we had stayed longer to enjoy it more and maybe take advantage of the hot tub! Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Nothing. It’s good for people to be aware that the 3rd bedroom is not internally attached to the rest of the house - you have to go outside and walk a few metres under a covered area to enter the room. This wasn’t a problem for us - with 2 teenagers, the eldest loved having her own space and it has its own toilet in the attached laundry room. Also, there is no sign on the road, however online maps was very accurate in directing us directly to the driveway.

all required items are available. very clean.

nothing, all was fine

The house is spacious, comfortable, had good facilities, surrounded by farmland. Hot tub was a good feature although we hardly used it. some tea, coffee, eggs and milk was provided. also nice shampoo and conditioner provided . Host helped with bedding arrangement by providing an extra mattress on request. we liked having the cats around.

The outside lights didn’t work (or we didn’t know how) so we couldn’t really use the verandah at night. Hot tub instructions were limited, couldn’t adjust temperature. I would have liked to be met by the host and be oriented to the property, but appreciate that some may prefer no contact.

Beautiful rural setting not far from Rotorua. Place was opened and keys on the table when we arrived. Very clean and comfortable place for a boys weekend away together. Had a hot tub.

Couldn't figure out how to change the heat setting on the hot tub to make it warmer so was not as hot as we liked. Although one of the guys thought they figured this out just before we were leaving! Couldn't find a dish clothe to wipe down the tables so had to use a tea towel.

Amazing, warm, cozy, so welcoming house! We enjoyed staying at this place. It is a beautiful, magnificent quiet place with all facilities exceeding all our expectations. We didn't want to leave! Thank you for making people happy and excited in New Zealand!

Nothing, it was perfect.

We didn't have the breakfast Location is great

This place is absolutely beautiful with everything we needed for our stay and the hosts are extremely hospitable and friendly, and their super friendly pets were a definite highlight for our children and a few years were she’d when they had to leave the puppy’s and the kitties behind. Pam was also very kind to take us on a tour around the farm to meet and help feed her many Ponies, Sheep, and chickens on the farm … the spa pool was an added bonus that we also took advantage of and the view and location was wonderful … I can’t give any faults to our stay.

The house was very pretty with the view of the mountain and sheep. comfortable beds. The host was nice and offered some chips and eggs.

The description on booking.com wasn’t accurate. It was actually a home divided into two buildings (without an indoor passage to link the two. The main building has two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and a bathroom. The second building has one bedroom and a toilet & laundry (no shower room). So there was actually only one bathroom for the full house which was very inconvenient as we were travelling as a family as wished to stay together in a house with two bathrooms.

just a peaceful home, everything is there.

We love the place very much. The host stays just next door and they have many pets running around. If you are an animal lover, you'll love it here.

1.shower head was broken, it is better change a new one 2.no shower gel(have double shampoo and condition)

We had such a lovely stay at Pam's cottage. Great spacious rooms, beautiful setting and the little extra touches were so thoughtful - chips, eggs, cooled water. Highly recommended!

Great location, spa, had everything we needed, private, nice to have eggs and chippies on arrival.

windows weren’t that clean and as cute as the dogs were, they came inside and went to the toilet which was a bit uncomfortable.

Amazing location - they're not kidding about the view! It's a beautiful property - spacious and very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Super-clean too with great kitchen and laundry facilities. And to top it off, there are adorable pets and farm animals on site to enjoy. My kids actually cried when we had to leave today.

Clean house,nice gardens and view. Nice spa

Nil.

Gorgeous view, nice location near Rotorua. The sheep and ponies were adorable. The hot tub was a bonus. Overall a great place to stay.

Could have done without the shoe stealing dogs.

Location was perfect. Just north of Rotorua, convenient to main highways and various attractions. The view was perfect and stargazing was better than I'd seen in decades! The host's hospitality was on point. Not only did she have snacks waiting for us on the table, there were farm-fresh eggs in the refrigerator, as well as milk. Our kids enjoyed "talking" to the sheep and the friendliness of the family's little dogs was the stuff of legends. I'd highly recommend this location, as I would absolutely choose it again!

Lovely place. quiet, clean with friendly host.
