Guesthouse holiday rentals in Lake Rotorua / Te Rotorua nui ā Kahumatamomoe

I absolutely loved staying in this cottage. A perfect spot if you want to be in nature but close to the city and shops. We loved kayaking on the river. I highly recommend this place. I will be back. Beautiful and quiet too 😊

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Teresa and Peter’s place. Having a second bedroom for our 15 month old to sleep in worked out well. Teresa had kindly placed some breakfast items in the fridge for us and Denver the dog would constantly drop fresh avocados outside our door. The tree-lined driveway ushers you up a hill to the main house and detached apartment that has magnificent views over the countryside towards the Kaimai Ranges from the lounge and main bedroom . The large wooden deck is a great place to relax and take in the scenery after a long drive. Matamata has a good choice of restaurants just 5 mins away. I highly recommend this AirBnB. It is clean, modern, well appointed and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely place to stay. We felt very welcome and our dog had a great time too. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the location being only a few minutes drive to Tauranga or the Mount. Kaz was very helpful with local recommendations and was very friendly and accommodating.

Chris was responsive and helpful and his place was exactly as described. Great little getaway for my son and I!

Ngaire was such a lovely host. She could not have done more for us. We borrowed life jackets and canoes for the lake, and baked a cake in her oven for my sons birthday. This is a beautiful place to stay with a path a short walk onto the lake. So private and so beautiful.

Sharlene’s place was well equipped and very clean. Upon checkin there was some milk, cereal, bread and spreads which was greatly appreciated. All the beds are comfortable and there’s a very functional kitchen. Sharlene herself as a host is also very kind even helping us get on top of our pile of washing when there was wet weather. I will mention for other travellers that the window coverings keep out very minimal light so if you’re a light sleeper or will be adjusting to new timezones an eye mask would be good. We had portable black out blinds with us but not enough for both bedrooms. Would definitely stay here again

Nicely decorated with easy flexible check in. breakfast materials provided Spa hot and lovely

thanks for having us! great wee place to spend the week! had all you need for a good stay (with may surprises including a wee blender to support us baking!). location was perfect being near the lake and not too far from the town itself! thanks again!

Beautiful spot. Light bright & sunny. Loved the curtains and outlook into the garden. Lovely & clean. Beautiful decor & comfortable bed. It had everything we needed just byo milk! :) thanks Zoe for a wonderful stay!

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our daughter’s first birthday. The place was perfect for our little family of four & our kids loved the friendly pets that visited every now & then. Loved that the town, shops & beach were all super close. The place itself was cosy & clean, we really felt like at home. Awesome hosts & an even better airbnb. 5 stars all round 🙂

A great place. Unfortunately we were a flying visit only so didn't get a chance to fully appreciate the location etc., but would certainly recommend.

Loved our stay! Cozy and quiet. Hayley was a great host with lots of recommendations of things to do while in the area. Would love to stay again

We felt at home from the start. The studio has everything that you need for a short stay and is beautifully decorated. It‘s cosy and practical at the same time. Even though there‘s no stove, you can easily prepare a nice breakfast (good coffee machine and a toaster) or other light meals. Kelly and Ashley even had some local recommendations like the Gastropub around the corner and the hot pools, which were great. Communication was very easy and friendly.

Caron was the most amazing host, and the house was lovely and kindly stocked with breakfast! Would absolutely come and stay again, thanks Caron x

This place is a hidden gem in the area, and the host is incredibly friendly. After a long journey, we both felt right at home. The surroundings are private and peaceful, and the hospitality from the host was truly amazing. I highly recommend this place!

spotless with all listed amenities, host very friendly and fast response. had nice off Street secured parking, private entrance, beautiful plants on the porch, bed was great, linens crisp, just great all around. about 20m walk to downtown area, nice quiet neighborhood. all good things!

This was a fantastic place! Great central location for everything we wanted to do on the North Island outside of Auckland. Suzie was incredibly accommodating between our late arrival into town and providing the basics for breakfast. Gorgeous property and would gladly come back!

We had the most comfortable of stays at Tui Glen. No other word than perfect can sum up our stay and interaction with Glendyr. It suited our needs to see relations in the area and to reach easily all our activities. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a stay here. From hot tub, to swimming pool to bikes available for use, all was way beyond our expectations. Just wish we could have had more time available to use the amenities but we were busy visiting tourist attractions and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay Glendyr you have a gorgeous home and the photos do not do it justice. The accommodation is far bigger than we expected. Brilliant 🤩 stay Annette Martin Claire .

I had a lovely stay at Katherine’s Airbnb. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a private entrance. While the temporary scaffolding over the entrance made access a little tricky, it didn’t affect my stay. The fully equipped modern kitchen was a standout feature, making it easy to prepare everyday meals. The apartment also offered a great space for family to visit and relax, which made my stay an even more enjoyable experience. There was plenty of room - in a comfortable setting - to sit, chat, and host family meals - several times during my visit! Unfortunately, traffic noise during the day was noticeable and especially distracting when sitting outside. Katherine was an excellent host, going above and beyond by allowing me to use her private laundry room. Overall, a great place to stay—clean, well-equipped, and with a welcoming host. I would definitely recommend it!

From the description of Karen’s place being “country”, I didn’t expect that it would be in a densely populated neighborhood as it is. Still, privacy was an important consideration in creating the cottage. Being very close to Hwy 2 makes it very convenient to services. Traffic noise was often heard with windows open. Also, just below the property a highway is being built and heavy machinery can sometimes be heard during the day. There are sheep being farmed closeby on the hillside property, though the only farm animal I occasionally heard was a small deer. Karen is a very attentive host, eager to assure my comfort and meet needs. Her place is stylish, bright, and has nice views of the surrounding area through sliding glass doors. I cooked my breakfast cereal and dinner in the kitchenette, and value that amenity. I found Karen’s place to be convenient and comfortable for my needs!

My family and I absolutely loved staying here and hope to go back someday. The place is very accommodating for our stay. We mostly used the place for cooking, and sleeping at night, while we explored during the day. The place was spacious four a family of four (two elementary aged kids) for two nights that we were there, we only wished we stayed longer to really explore the area because it is so nice. Lake Tarawera was super peaceful to look upon, and we were fortunate enough to use the kayaks available by Bronwyn's. We really enjoyed that. We also explored the walking path which was super nice. Recommendations that we also got to enjoy the Luge, Okere Falls for kid friendly hike, and the Okere Falls restaurant is very tasty afterwards.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! ‘The Shed’ exceeded all expectations! The home was spotless and incredibly cozy, with every detail thoughtfully considered! The location was perfect, calm and peaceful in the countryside with a beautiful view of the sunset. Rachael was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had! We can’t recommend this place highly enough and would love to come back again!

Anne's place was driveable distance to the beach and shops. The house was what we needed for our short time away to relax.

Very clean and spacious appartement with a great view on a parc also. Would recommend
