RachaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great spot for a relaxing break with stunning views. Exactly as described and cosy during the storms. Baths were a nice additional and there were lots of nice touches with the muffins and the milk. Perfect for unwinding whilst not being too far from the city. Thanks for a great stay!

ShubhamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It had everything you'd expect in a comfortable home, making us feel right at ease. The highlight was definitely the spa and the stunning lake view—especially when we caught a rainbow stretching across the water. Just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

The Art House on Sunset

MariaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Me and my friends spent a wonderful weekend in Taupo at Sally-Ann's place cooking, drinking tea, and listening to music (thanks for very clear instructions on the Chromecast!). We will carry great memories from the lake and nearby carvings we saw there. Despite the rainy weather, our stay was cozy - thank you for having us!

Luxury cozy autumn escape – Limited-Time Offer!

TerenceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The hosts of Songbird Cottage have gone to a lot of trouble to make this place special. So many lovely features, both inside the cottage and around the grounds. One of the best instructions manuals we have encountered, including lots of great recommendations for local walks, attractions and eateries. Top marks.

Sundays Country Cabin where EVERY DAY'S A SUNDAY

ShubhashisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A Peaceful and Authentic Farm Stay Experience with two great hosts either stunning night skies. Our stay at Sunday Country Cabin was truly magical! The peaceful countryside setting provided the perfect escape from city life. The cozy accommodations and warm hospitality from Gary & Michael made us feel right at home. Apart from the stunning views and absolute calmness, this place also provides a great flexibility to visit Rotorua and Tauranga both in a single day, which is of course a cherry on top. Nights were especially breathtaking—calm, quiet, and perfect for stargazing. With no city lights around, the sky lit up beautifully, making for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a serene retreat with stunning night views, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

Rural retreat - spacious Cottage Close to Town!

TracyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I needed a place that was peaceful and would allow me to recover and this beautiful cottage provided me with that and more. With a beautiful view from every window and the only sounds being the bird song and the breeze in the trees, it was a perfect place for me to re-energise and refuel. I highly recommend this cottage and the care of the hosts. There was also a much appreciated bag of fresh fejoas and apples - truly spoilt!

Cosy, central cottage to relax and enjoy Rotorua

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great stay in unique cozy home. Full of character and charm that you’d expect of a place like this. Comfortable beds. The washing machine was great to have. Nadia is very responsive and thoughtful. Left a little Easter treat for us! Walkable to grocery store. It’s a fair walk to Eat Streat etc, but we either ubered or drove. We recommend it for a cottage-like unique stay.

Kapowai Cottage retreat (2 bedroom)

ClaireRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved staying at Alison and Marc's place. The house was very comfortable and in such a truly beautiful location by the lake. What made made it very special though was how kind and hospitable Alison and Marc were, over and above what we have experienced before. They were also very quick to respond when we needed help. We had been given all the information in the first place but were having a simple moment and they sorted us out!

Muriwai Homestead Cottage - Relax & Explore

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Ours was a return trip and it was easily as good as our excellent first stay. We are already planning our next visit - for us it ticks all the boxes and really is a very friendly, comfortable home-from-home. Gillian and Steve are wonderful hosts and always there to provide the best advice on what was happening in the area. We can't recommend them highly enough.

ChristopheRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Despite only staying one night in Kakariki cottage we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer! The cottage is absolutely lovely and features a well-appointed kitchen, a cosy living space and a spacious bathroom. We loved the open mezzanine for the bedroom! The surroundings are gorgeous and very peaceful. Having your morning coffee on the terrace is a must. Breakfast essentials are provided. Thanks Courtney for the lovely stay!

Cottage under the Bluffs-Enjoy fresh air and view

KahiRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The cottage was very cosy and the property was so beautiful (the stream running through has fish and crayfish!) The views to the cliffs are incredible and the stargazing from the deck is spectacular. The cottage is the perfect distance from town if you want a country stay with easy access to activities. Hosts provide everything you could need and were very accomodating, letting us book another night very last minute.
