Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Tarawera

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described — even better in person. A special thank you to our amazing host for taking the time to show us around and introduce us to their lovely animals — it was such a memorable and unique experience that really made our trip extra special. We felt so welcome and well looked after throughout our stay. Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a personal touch. Thank you again Graham 🙂

Pleasant place and very beautiful. Friendy host and everything has clear instructions in the house:)

It’s really nice time for us. Nice clean house well organised..we had a great time..

We loved Mark’s house! Mark was the best Air BNB host we have ever had. His daily fresh bread was amazing and much appreciated. Mark really cares about the people staying in his house. Thank you for a great trip!

This property and host Craig left the deepest impression on me throughout my 11 days in NZ. We stayed in 6 apartments during our road trip there and Teemos Retreat really stood out. Crag is extremely meticulous. Looking at the booklet (brochure) and posters that he prepared (inside the property at kitchen area) to let guest know the places and things to do around in Rotorua, and a brief introduction on himself and why he name the place Teemos Retreat, you know that this gentleman Craig is on a different level. All 3 rooms come with portable heater and heater blanket which is useful during winter. A garage that has mountain bikes and scooter, with badminton rackets, frisbee that you can play at the back garden which is huge btw. Front porch big for 2 cars to park. a study/gaming room that has an arcade machine (which my boy love). basket of toys in the living room that my girl love. Guys, Craig and Teemos Retreat is a cut above the rest. this is what dedication looks like. a million 👍

We loved our lakeside stay. It had all the amenities we needed. Perfect location for day trips and food. Thank you so much.

The Starling Box is definitely the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! Janina is an exceptional host - she gave us a lovely, warm welcome and showed us all around her beautiful, modern home. The home itself is clean, well appointed and has all the comforts of home. We appreciated the extra touches that are evident throughout the house that make everything cozy and comfy - from warm blankets to a well kitchen stocked with delicious breakfast items, coffee, tea and snacks. The space is peaceful and inviting, and you can feel the love that went into every detail of this fantastic Airbnb. Thank you Janina, for welcoming us with open arms and making our stay in Rotorua so wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Loved walking up with the beautiful scenery! The place is well looked after, feels like home! it's also a perfect base if travelling towards Taupo, Rotorua or Hamilton! Very responsive hosts as well. highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay and wished we could have stayed longer! Beautiful views and all the amenities and comforts we could ask for. Highly recommend!

Breathingtakingly beautiful place with a stunning view of the lake. The living room was huge and cozy, filled with clean energy flowing throughout the space. The fireplace was such a huge bonus, especially on a cold wintry night. Stuart was friendly, responsive and communicative throughout our stay. We will love to come back! 10/10 recommend!

Susie's loft is spacious and comfortable, and only 5 mins walk away from the lake. Smooth check in and out. Would love to stay again!

An excellent location and extremely helpful host. The space is spotlessly clean and solid value. The cats were adorable and gave the place character. Way better than booking a motel room ...it felt safe and cosy. Highly recommended and we will book again.

Beautiful location with scenic views over the lake. The studio is really well equipped and the small details really made a huge difference - electric blanket in the bed and snacks for hungry hikers. We loved mountain biking in redwood forest and then coming back to watch the birds on the lake. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The checkin instructions were very clear and it was extremely easy to get in and get settled. The place had almost everything we need. It’s very spacious and the sofa was comfortable as a bed. The lake is very close by and serene. The places is very close to the redwoods. Definitely recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Suzie's place. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay in Rotorua! Phil was very hospitable and knowledgable about the area! A nice and peaceful location away from the city centre :) The view was beautiful!

Sussan was a fantastic host, welcoming and friendly. Her home was clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and yummy breakfast. I had everything I needed and more. I was walking distance from the conference and places to eat. Great if you're tired from a big day! We had lovely chats and I left with a gift feijoa's, which made my day. Thank you for a wonderful and easy stay, with a 'home away from home' feeling.

I really recommend staying at Barb's place, it's got everything you would need for a short or longer stay. There's lots to do in the area and Barb gave some great recommendations and helpful information. As a host Barb is the best I've ever had, fast response time, friendly and very helpful, she really goes above and beyond!
