We loved our stay at Waterfront Escape. It was tidy and spacious, and quiet. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge our batteries. The view over the lake from the property is beautiful.
We had an incredible stay at this waterfront property in Rotorua! The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views right on the water. The home was easy to access and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for our group of seven.One of the highlights was the kayaks, which allowed us to explore the lake up close, paddle through the amazing lily pads, and even spot sheep grazing across the waterâa truly unique experience! The showers were fantastic as well, adding a touch of luxury to our stay.This property exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, well-equipped getaway in Rotorua.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Pretty Spot, but property is very tired.
Kitchen is not very well equipped. Property was sufficient, but not up to the standards we're used to. Plenty of room. Communication not the best. View is lovely. Property needs some attention.
We had a pleasant stay, the house was clean and comfortable - great for large families or group of friends. Would recommend to others heading to the area.
Our accommodation met our every need, plenty of room for 6 adults, 5 children staying there. The kids enjoyed the canoeing, kayaking on the lake and plenty of outside area for an Easter hunt. Would recommend the property for family/friends get-togethers
This home had plenty of beds and bathrooms for our group of 10. It was easily accessed and we were well located for all the activities that we had planned to do in the area. The home was right on the lake and had a beautiful view from the back of the house and patio.
Nice location, beautiful outlook, plenty of indoor space and grassed area towards the lake. Good supply of Air Con units around the house and the furniture was all reasonably good. Good storage in the garage and plenty of driveway space for up to three cars.
However, the place really needs a deep clean and some general maintenance, seems pretty neglected in a lot of ways.
The adjoining rental is a bit weird with a direct access hollow core door opening onto the internal landing of the master bedroom, easy to hear conversations !
We had a rat in the kitchen eating food overnight, even saw it scuttle under the stove. Management company were informed but seemed not too concerned ? â they have traps under some of the furniture apparently !
Forget bringing a boat. The lake access isnât deep enough for anything heavier than a jet ski, this would be a struggle though, and muddy. If the adjoining accommodation is being occupied there is effectively nowhere to keep the boat, the driveway is too steep and a sharp transition onto the road.
Unfortunately, with borders closed for the last 2 years there has been plenty of price gouging for peak holiday periods, owners may need to re-think this if they want good occupancy going forward.
So overall, okay place, but overpriced for what is delivered.
With over 12 years renting great places in the lakes district, I wasn't too impressed with this one, but it could be improved.
Overall very enjoyable and only hitch no gas for the BBQ, but felt maintenance had been let slip, lights in one bathroom didn't work, clothes dryer door latch broken, main doors to deck unable to be used, outdoor chair broken, coffee milk-frother agitator missing, broken tile in laundry floor, all minor other than the deck doors and could/should have been repaired before our stay.
The accommodation is fantastic! 3 bathrooms, many beds, spacious and the views are beautiful!
Beds were most comfortable.
A couple of minor things: main living area aircon remote downstairs doesnât work. Couldnât use lounge doors to deck, but I imagine that will be repaired soon?
We were there for a wedding and hosted 20 on two separate afternoons and everyone commented on how gorgeous the home and location is. We will stay again, for sure đ„
We had a nice relaxing stay here. Great view of lake and bird life. House is nice and warm with fire going and also had heat pumps. 2nd stay at this property and enjoyed both times. Great not having to take your own linen and bedding! Had everything we needed. Would definitely go back.
Fantastic arrangement of lake activities, hospitality, kayak and dinghy, and board games for the whole family. Reserve within short walking distance. A spacious place to stay for large family or group.
The property was perfect for our family gathering of 7 adults and 3 children, plenty of space for everyone.
Was great being able to moor our boat at the jetty.
There were a few small maintenance issues which we communicated to the property manager and the addition of an extra fridge would have been helpful as we struggled with the small fridge and such a large group. Overall we loved the property and would certainly like to rent again.
All good.
A couple of suggestions. Pls ensure there is adequate dishwashing liquid and more than 1 rubbish bag available.
The water pipe under the laundry tub has been leaking. We tightened the connection but there is historical water damage.
A stunningly beautiful house, with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. Our entire family loved the house. Large deck to soak up the sun, and lakeside views. Well provisioned kitchen and 2 living areas. We would absolutely consider staying here again.
Fantastic location and incredible views of the lake. Also i very quiet location
House was found very clean and tidy. Plenty of room and the deck area was great for all day relaxing.
The only negative, was that there was only 2 tea towels and no kitchen cloths and little cleaning options.
Overall a great stay
Perfect location for our wedding accommodation, beautiful location on Lake Okareka we were so lucky to have wonderful weather and take advantage of the kayaks on the lake! Would happily rebook again!
Great location right on the lake. It was a perfect size for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids. Lots of heat pumps and a wood fire.
Interior was a little tired in places and kitchen needed more platters and cutlery for our big group.
Would rent again
