Really enjoyed our stay at Blue Cottage! The lake just right in front of the house, and the lake view was so beautiful. Also, love the fireplace in the house. It really kept us warm. Highly recommended choosing your stay here when visiting Rotorua!

A lovely cottage on the lake, tastefully decorated, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. Washer+dryer and fireplace add to the appeal. Nerida was responsive, helpful and friendly. Easy to find, and easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommended. Would stay again.
