The lake house is truly beautiful. Staying with the hosts ken & carol, was like visiting an aunt and uncle! We travelled with our 11 week old daughter, and they had set up a portacot for us, and were just wonderful with her. They gave us brilliant advise and help on what to do with our time. We had so...

We enjoyed our stay over the Easter weekend at The Lake House. To be honest when we first drove into town we were a bit worried about how crowded the town would be being Easter but when we got to the Lake House it was like a little paradise away from the crowds. Ken and Carol are lovely and had... More

Staying at The Lake House was one of the first experiences we had upon arriving in New Zealand from the USA...and what an AWESOME beginning!! Ken and Carol Saxby were the perfect hosts!! They were both so helpful, kind, and informative (they made us aware of some places we never would have known about), and Carol's breakfasts (my personal favorite... More

What a great place. We spent three nights here and had such a great and comfortable time. The location is superb - peaceful an next to the lake which you can swim and kayak in. Its location is also away from any sulphur smells you get nearer to town and allows easy access to all attractions around Lake Rotorua. Rooms... More

Carol and Ken are great people and their home is beautiful in a lovely location. They have a separate building with a hot tub/spa which overlooks the lake. It is relaxing and feels great after a day of travel or touring. The breakfast and teas were delicious so all in all, a wonderful experience.

A beautiful B&B run by two lovely hosts Carol and Ken. We were welcomed by both of them upon arrival and they immediately made us feel at home. The Lake house stands to its name. Just on the lake. We had a beautiful room which was clean with crisp linen and with all amenities, and with views of the lake.... More

A lovely guesthouse run by Ken and Carol who made us feel right at home. The room was clean and quaint and the breakfasts really good! They organised outings for us locally and were of great knowledge to all our questions. A definate recommended spot close to Rotorua. thanks again for a lovely stay!

Beautiful property in a beautiful location and Ken and Carol are very welcoming. This was our first real experience of B&B and we found the whole experience a bit overbearing; breakfasting around one table with other guests and being told what the cooked breakfast item was going to be - no choice. However our room was spacious, clean and comfortable... More
