Guest reviews for Parawai Lake House Sanctuary / Absolute Lake House
We encourage reviews. Our review policy.Catherine
Stayed October 2021Our three families of 6 adults and 5 children aged 10-15, spent the most perfect weekend at The Lake House. Superb weather helped but the house itself provided ample and very comfortable accommodation for the 11 of us. The games room and the kayaks were a real bonus and the ease of using them all was welcomed- eg plenty of table tennis balls and bats, darts etc. All in all this house provided everything we needed and more. Location, space, comfort and facilities were excellent. We have such happy memories of our stay at Parawai.

Stayed October 2021Amazing Location on the lake. Quiet, private and and stunning views waking up to sunrises over the lake. Perfect setup for families or larger groups with plenty of space for all. Place is kitted out with kayaks, dartboard and games tables to keep both the adults and kids entertained. Surprisingly close to a lot of the local activities and just an ideal all round spot to stay. If we are ever back up Rotorua way we will definitely be booking this place again. Thanks again for providing the perfect stay for our holiday away.

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. Our stay was awesome and the beds and "added on" linen was perfect and clean. We went away for a girls trips and the outside areas were perfect places to catch up. 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
Julie
