Weird and noisy
A head board not attached to the bed, a full-time residence of VERY noisy people attached to the unit, strangers showing up at the front door demanding to know how long we were staying for. Bugs splattered to doors... VERY average experience for the price. Would NOT recommend.

Trail run accommodation
This was a fantastic place to stay in terms of location, amenities particularly enabling us to cook ect. The one BIG let down was the bed, so bad I couldn’t sleep and I was there for a trail running event! Otherwise fantastic place

Lovely spot
While the apartment is well set out it needs some TLC and a refresh. The decor is very tired and the curtain rail above the door fell down a few times. Some more wall art would make it homier too. It's not clear from the photos just how close the neighbours are, and we could hear them talking as if they were in the next room. It would be great to have more than 1 teaspoon available and more than 1 large water glass too. Just a few little things that would have made our stay more pleasant.

Wohnung nah zum Ser
Die Aussicht auf den See ist gewaltig. Die Einrichtung ist etwas älter, aber die Zimmer gross und es ist alles vorhanden, was man für Selbstversorger Ferien benötigt. Ein richtig gemütlicher Ort, etwas abseits von Rotorura an einem kleinen Ser gelegen.

Very nice apartment and the location was beautiful. Rotorua is just another big town (with a few odd smells!) but the lakes nearby are lovely. Okareka was stunning and we enjoyed the boardwalk. It’s only a short drive into Rotarua. Easy!!

Spacious & comfortable, but needs an update
Good: Very quiet Spacious Comfortable living and sleeping. Clean Has all the basic needs in the kitchen Not so good: Could do with updating, including extra power points and bedside lamps. Further away from Rotorua than we anticipated. Attached to another rental property, which resulted in an unfortunate dispute about parking on one occasion (until the property manager put them straight).

Property was good - would be nice if there was trellis between deck & spare room of big house so you dont feel like people are watching you when you're on the deck. Shower wasn't so great.
