Great place, great people, great stay. I love that you have the house to yourself, perfect for traveling with a small family. Close to Rotorua for the attractions but far enough away for peace and quiet.

This place was secluded but OMG it was amazing. It wasn't a big hotel, not even a small hotel. it was a small cabin right next to a lake called the "Loveshack". On arrival we were met by the owners as it was located in their back garden. We walked down a walkway with our suitcases and entered. It had everything including a BBQ. It was just so peaceful and serene. After our BBQ dinner we decided to start a fire in the pit. It took a while but it was good fun and whilst keeping it burning we even saw shooting stars. There isn't anything bad I could say about this place and looking through the comments book it didn't look like anyone else could either. It isn't in Rotorua itself but a 20 min car journey but it is very easy to find/
