We were fortunate to find Louise and Marks when looking for accommodation in Rotorua and what a bonus, such a lovely home and garden with views of the lake. Louise welcomed us with afternoon tea and hand made treats before running through the local attractions and providing information only a local would know and that you would never get from a hotel concierge. A 10-15 min drive into town and close to many other local attractions. Our first night we went to the local street food market and the Redwood Forest which were fantastic. Louise and Mark are so genuine and quickly work out people’s interests and recommend the sights accordingly, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and went back to stay for two more nights to make sure we saw everything we wanted to before heading back to Auckland. We felt so welcome and at home as though we were old friends visiting. A very comfortable and clean home with everything you need and delicious breakfasts to get the day started. Definitely a highlight of our NZ holiday.

We could´nt believe that we will stay in such a big house. The location is remote and overlooking the lake but only 15 min from Rotorua center. Louse is a one of the nicest host we ever had and you feel immediately well and like coming back to good friends.

We were blessed to have had the luxury of staying here for three nights. From the very first step inside until our departure, we felt right at home with Louise and Mark. They are genuinely interested in you as guests and go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable in their home. We had many great conversations and good laughs, both at the breakfast table in the morning and outside on the patio while stargazing at night.

Furthermore, the location of the B&B is great. It is in the middle of nice gardens lying on top of a hill overlooking lake Rotorua (without being in the sulphur smells). The house itself has unique architecture which creates a nice and cosy atmosphere, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The decoration with Louise's own paintings give a nice touch.

We wouldn't have mind spending some extra nights here, and we would most definately love to return here some day!
