Not much to add to all the other reviews. I'd agree with all the positive comments about the wonderful hosts, warm welcome, cookies and cakes, local knowledge, lovely breakfast, good location, immaculate rooms etc. Would love to come back one day...

This was the best place we stayed in New Zealand. Katherine and Steve are great hosts. They made you feel so comfortable, you could have been at home, except here you got your washing done for you!

Away from the sulphuric fumes, Katherine and Steve run a professional B&B, with a warm welcome, practical advice for things to do, and even an offer to joint their family for dinner. Comfy room, wide collection of DVDs for the guests to use (Once Were Warriors highly recommended). Would love to come back again!

Our hosts were very hospitable and helpful. We could even do our laundry. And Katherine had many suggestions of things we could visit. She mentioned also that on the days we were there (Suinday and Monday) most restaurants were closed. And indeed we had dfficulties to find a proper restaurant. The room was good with regard to size and interior.... More

Fabulous B&B with fantastic breakfast overlooking the lake. We felt very welcome with afternoon tea and all sorts of recommendation what to see and do. Very clean and very warm with heated blanket. Highly recommended if you want to stay away from town.

Relax in modern and stylish surroundings with friendly hosts who will cater to your needs.

Steve is a true local, having grown up on a farm near by.Each of the rooms has a private en suite bathroom with walk in shower, toilet and vanity, tv and dvd player, luxury linens, robes and slippers, safe and luggage rack and a most importantly a comfortable super king sized bed.Home baking and refreshments are available self serve 24/7. There is a indoor and outdoor seating area near by the guest rooms. Katherine loves to bake so there is always something delicious to nibble on.You are welcome to bring a light meal or take aways home. There are plates, glasses, cutlery in which you are welcome to use. Otherwise, Katherine is happy to prepare you a delicious meal. This may be as simple as a sandwich or a full three course dinner - Beef barbecued steak to Japanese Curry - just let her know what you would like. Prior dinner reservations are helpful otherwise you will have a limited choice. Situated across the road from Lake Rotorua you are provided with views of the lake and Mokoia Island. In the back ground - the hills of Mt Tarawera and the city lights.Walk 500m the the famous Redwood forest and Hamurana Springs track. Both are amazing. The forest is make up of large Sequoia trees and a beautiful clear stream flowing from the spring out into the lake. Several types of birds and ducks live in this area as do of course our famous trout. You cannot buy trout in NZ - you must catch your own!Lake Rotorua is famous for trout fishing, but in our area also famous for having hundreds of 'black swans'. A 'country' 9 hole golf course is located alongside the springs walk - we have golf clubs available for those wanting to play a round.Family groups are welcome at the home of Katherine and Steve. They have two senior school aged children. There are games and books to entertain and a big front lawn to run about on. Only well behaved children can be accepted - children that will not disturb other guests in the night - otherwise a full house booking (all four rooms) is available. ... more   less
