Awesome little cottage with the personal touch

Greeted at the door and shown around our accommodation. So many personal touches make it a home away from home.

This property was just lovely. Our family of four enjoyed all the cabin had to offer. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry, with lovely touches all through the property. Our hosts were gracious and generous with lovely welcome gifts of fresh eggs and honey along with other little surprises. We loved the board and outdoor games supplied and made use of the lovely yard space. Totally self contained with the hosts a stone's throw away if you needed anything. You can easily walk into this place and feel comfortable, at home and relax. Close enough to Rotorua to drive into town to enjoy all it has to offer, but far enough away from its busyness to enjoy a relaxing stay. We really enjoyed staying here and highly recommend it to families.

Amazing getaway stay!

To call it a cottage would be an understatement, the place is very spacious and is basically a holiday house with everything you would need. Great range of amenities. Especially lucky to receive some welcome gifts from the hosts. Would recommend anyone to stay and will definitely visit again in the future!

Rita's Cottage was perfect for our family. After almost a week of mostly restaurants, we were eager to eat in. The sparkling new kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and everything we needed to make home cooked meals. After a day of hiking and zip lining (highly recommend Rotorua Canopy Tours!) the spa bath was great too. The Cottage is just a quick walk from the lake and a 5 minute drive to town for groceries or anything else you need. Everything was spotless and fresh and the beds were comfy. There's also a peaceful garden for lounging in the shade or eating a meal on the patio. Really a gem of a place to stay!

This property lives up to its name - it really is cozy. It's got all the amenities you'd expect from a holiday home. We appreciated the wee gifts that were left for us upon our arrival. The bedrooms are generous in size. There are two bathrooms - one includes the toilet, and it has been beautifully upgraded. The other has a great washer/dryer set up - oh and a spa bath! The surroundings are wonderful. The shops are close by, as is the lake for walks to feed the swans. We'll definitely be back.
