Ivo
Stayed July 2021A well set up home with plenty of space for our trip with three families. Amazing sunrise views over the lake and fell asleep listening to the waves on the shore.
Sharnie
Stayed June 2021Large spacious home ideal for groups/large families set down the end of a long tree lined driveway. The home was well heated even during colder nights with heaters in each room, heat pump and fireplace which was stacked with wood ready to go. Lake front view was spectacular and very relaxing. Playground/park near by and local four square was handy for supplies when arriving late.

Stayed October 2019Down the end of a long drive right next to the amazing Lake Rotorua hides a beautiful place called the Parawai Lakehouse Sanctuary.

I would highly recommend this place to friends

Jacinta
Stayed August 2019We had a great time staying at this property, it was perfect, so peaceful and our kids loved the games room and kayaks. We would definitely look to stay here again if we were coming back to Rotorua. Its worth the money so much better than staying in a hotel/motel/holiday park. We definitely miss waking up to that beautiful lake each morning!

kristine
Stayed January 2019Was really a sanctuary. Very private, and wonderful being so close to the lakefront. very safe for the children as the lake is very shallow for a long way out. We enjoyed the kayaks. A wonderful stay for our extended family and heaps of room. Thank you for sharing your special place. The children loved the wildlife.
Liz
Stayed November 2018This place was as lovely as it appeared in the photos and fully worth the price. well equipped and maintained in absolutely beautiful natural surroundings, completely hassle-free check in and check out procedures, made for an absolutely wonderful holiday just wish we could have stayed longer. My only caution is that only two of the bedrooms are suitable for older people
Lesley
Stayed October 2018Great spot right on lake front. 8 adults 2 boys all enjoyed the kayaks and games tables. House was lovely had everything we needed.
Julie
Stayed October 2018The property was perfect for our stay, it provided plenty of outdoor shelter, plenty of beds, lots of fun activities and the setting was idyllic. We all thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful spacious home and would be keen to do it again soon. Thanks so much.
