Cosy and comfortable

We had a great time! The property was perfect for our large group with plenty of space for everyone. It had a relaxed feel and we felt we could make it our own while there. We all got out on the kayaks even though it was pretty cold but the warm fire was going for when we got home! Thank you very much I’d like to think we will be back. Rotoiti is beautiful!!

Lake Rotoiti getaway

An awesome property, plenty of room, really nicely furnished and set up. We were two families and had plenty of room. Great parking, enough for our 2 boats. Very close to the boat ramp. Fantastic communication from Jenny. Highly recommend.

Good...though I never got a response to my message at New Year about having a quick visit, which was a bit disappointing.

Weekend away with the kids

Was so great to have a weekend away with the kids, this was no stress with 7 children and 4 adults. there were baby gates for the patio steps and to the down statirs area to reduce the stress levels. A 2 min walk to the boat ramp and the small rec area round the road. thanks for letting us use your home.

The property was great for what we needed with two families and Grandma staying. In a great location by the lake and near the boat ramp. We could sit on the deck and watch the biscuiting! Downstairs great for all the kids, with lots of games to entertain, although the waterpipes were a bit noisy for them!
