Thermal Adventure Retreat

Summary:
This bright spacious home is located close to everything and provides a comfortable haven at the end of a busy day. The house is warm in winter with the thermal heating and cool in summer with large french doors that open from the living areas to the deck and private garden area. You'll have plenty of space with five bedrooms (including a bunk room off the garage) and three bathrooms. Come home and soak in the thermally heated plunge pool at the end of a busy day. 

The Neighborhood:
The house is located up a long driveway, so although you are so conveniently located, you can relax in a tranquil space free from road noise. Keen golfers can pop to the course located a stone’s throw from the house, while bikers can ride on cycle lanes to their choice of world-class trails in under 15 minutes. Jump in the car and be at the Rotorua waterfront in 10 minutes for lunch, brunch or some shopping. There is also a group of shops just around the corner, and a local supermarket within walking distance.

Other Things to Note:
Free landline phone at the house for calls to other landlines within NZ

The Plunge Pool is thermally heated. It is not a full size swimming pool, the measurements are 900mm Deep x 2000mm Long x 1800mm Wide. The temperature will vary in the pool as it is thermally heated so we cannot set it at a certain temperature.

Warm, comfortable and close to town and activities
There was plenty of room for the whole family. It was nice and warm as we went in winter. The kitchen was lovely and had everything tou needed. If we were going to stay longer having the drying room would have come in handy. Plenty of parking and secure

We really enjoyed arriving to a lovely warm house after a wet,cold trip.The rooms were very spacious and we had everything we needed. This house is great for an extended family. There were a couple of issues when we first arrived but they were dealt with very promptly. We would be happy to recommend it.

The house was welcoming and warm upon arrival. Definitely enjoyed our stay here. Facilities were awesome everything you'd need well on holiday. Plunge pool could have been warmer, none of us swam the pool was to cold for the weather. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Easy Family stay in Rotorua
Well located Bach, plenty of space. Clean and bright. Well supplied with 'essentials' and included linen towels were good quality. Plunge pool is small and needs a coat of paint, but was clean and fun to use with the kids. The property itself is in need of some minor maintenance here and there, but was more than adequate for our needs. Generally recommended for larger families.

Brilliant Hosts
We are two families (5 kids) that love to head to Rotorua each year. Upon arrival we find that the hot spa is not working and unlikely to be able to be fixed during our stay. Being one of the reasons for booking this property we were pretty disappointed. Susan and her team were brilliant. We moved to a new property the next day. (Which I would love to review and we will try to head there each year from now on). I can't thank the team enough for such great communication and helping us continue our Rotorua holiday tradition with 5 very happy and occupied children - even though they have returned a little like prunes from all their hot tubbing ;0.

Great home and value
Communications were fantastic, the house was ultra-warm thanks to the geo-thermal heating. Incredibly comfortable beds/pillows in each room and fantastic linen. The hot pool was used a lot by our team. One of our team members is a lighter sleeper so the noise from road traffic and the geo-thermal system kept her awake but everyone else slept well. 6 mins from Rotorua City Centre. We really enjoyed our stay - many thanks!

Cool house, needs some maintenance here and there.
A bit disappointed that we weren't told about the plunge pool being broken, cold water only. Also radiator heaters weren't going, no hot airing room to dry clothes, had to use oil heaters. Also a broken dog door on one of the bunk rooms. Beds are very comfy, cool set up. Handy area. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes etc. Clean and tidy.

Large Family Gathering
We had a great time staying here with our 2 grown up children and their partners and our 2 younger children. Plenty of room for everyone and even enjoyed friends visiting and staying for dinner. This would also be brilliant for 2 families. Would be good to maybe have a large outdoor table setting to entertain in Summer outside and if there was a pool table or table tennis table in garage it would have been even better. The plunge pool was a lot smaller than we had thought it would be from the pictures but still was lovely.

Great for large group
It was really good. Some things could have made it better such as toilet paper in each bathroom & rubbish liners (not things you always pack). However overall it's a nice house. The thermal heating and drying room are AMAZING in wet weather. The pool is lovely but is smaller than it appears. Beds are comfortable, lounge was fantastic for a large group. It's very handy to everything, easy to access and gives you break out space when you need it.

Great Vacation/Stay-cation location
The property is huge; room for all and allowing personal space. Well appointed with ample off-street parking. Quiet neighbourhood, although the Moreporks had a lot to say during the evening, which we enjoyed immensely. We loved our time at this property

We stayed with another family and enjoyed this house. It has plenty of room and is well stocked with kitchen stuff. It is thermally heated and would be delightfully in winter. It's a great base for activities and in a quiet area.

Our experience was great overall, however, the hot water run out, recycled bins not emptied and no cleaning tools for the thermal pool, would most differently rent again!! Managers managing the house were easy to contact and the beds are awesome All of them!

This house was lovely and spacious and suited us perfectly. Location, cleanliness, neighbourhood were great. Not a biggie but the hot water was intermittent so it was like a lucky dip if you got a hot shower. But overall great stay. It wouldnt stop me staying again.
