The hosts David and Grace were friendly+++ and accomodating. The place was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable I felt like i was in cloud 9. The location was beautiful. Communication between David and me was fast and efficient. Breakfast the next day was healthy and delicious. We couldn't help but notice little bits and pieces that the hosts had for the guests that made our stay even more better. From start to finish our experience was 10 stars🌟 I would recommend this place A+++ I am looking forward to booking again with David and Grace. Ngaa Mihi Diama Williams

We loved the location, views, friendly property owners, who also shared their extensive knowledge of the area. We also liked the privacy of the quaint cottage. Personal touches made it feel welcoming.

Master bed was too firm for our personal preference, noisy when it rains due to metal roof so sleep was a bit restless during overnight rains.

It's perfect for those who love luxury and extravagance close to nature. It is a modern, comfy, super clean, well equipped cottage. Amazing setting. Super nice hosts. Plus, 5 friendly alpaca. Outstanding experience that we recoomend before any other Rotorua accommodation. Rotorua is our second home that we visit at least 5 times per year. We have stayed at every motel on Fenton, have tried bookabach, BUT NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THIS ONE.

Pillows. Pillows. Please buy some mefium to hard.

The cottage is a standalone house from the main house up the hill.It is so cosy and comfortable that you will not want to leave it!It has a beautiful set-up with open kitchen/living room,small room for a kid or a third guest,master bedroom,laundry and bathroom with shower.Outside is a nice deck with chairs all along the house and BBQ.The surprise for us was that owners have alpacas just outside the cottage and they are really happy when you feed them(ask for the food for them when arrive!).The views are marvelous at night with all city lights and stars above you.

It was just a bit chilly in the bedroom at night but duvet was incredibly warm,so it is a minor..

Thank you Grace and David for making my holiday a wonderful experience. I appreciate all the effort that you did to make our stay as pleasant as possible. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back 😊

I cannot find anything negative to say about my trip apart from having to leave 😅 but would suggest to book through them directly 👍

Breakfast was the best ever! Homemade muesli, breads and spreads. Yum. David and Grace served us so well and we had lovely conversation with the other guests.

The room was really really cold when we got there. But it very slowly warmed up a bit. Also we could hear the people in the next room quite clearly. That was a bit awkward.
