Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Waikato River

Loved our stay here! The view over the bay was spectacular. One of the cleanest AirBnB's we've stayed in. A small drive out of town, but means it's quiet. One of the rooms has a ceiling fan that made a big difference with the summer heat. Other two rooms got quite hot with morning sun, so leave doors and windows open. Heatpump did a great job cooling the place down. 15 minute walk to the beach and is a nice little workout on the way back. Caretaker downstairs was very quiet, only saw him once on the driveway and seemed nice. No regrets staying here, just amazing!

The accommodation was great! Extremely spacious, and definitely able to accommodate a big group of people. The views were spectacular! Sometimes the neighbours cats wonders by to say hello.

We had such a great time staying at Mark’s place ! The home was warm and inviting and we loved making the fire at night, especially our 4 year old. The beds were super comfy and there was lots of touches that made our stay so nice and welcoming, including the bathroom heaters which were so good after a warm bath. The homemade bread was really thoughtful and delicious and for busy parents it made such a difference knowing there was something good for the kids to have. Not to mention fresh coffee beans ! For coffee snobs like us that was perfect 👍🏼 We would come back again for sure ! Thanks so much Mark 😊😊

We had a fabulous stay at Sam’s place! All of the activities we planned were no more than 15 minutes via car. The heating units came in handy during the evening, but the bedding provided ample warmth. The best part were the views; nothing beat the sun rising right in front of the bed!

Lovely stay at the pink house. Was greeted by Alby upon arrival and shown around and explained things to us. House well set up for a family of 5. Comfy main bed and warm house. Really enjoyed our stay

We booked this house for our guests at our wedding. The house was so great and well worth the money. It was very big and easy to find plenty of parking and we will definitely recommend to anyone in the area

We had a great stay at Erins air b n b! The house was so nice and relaxing, super cozy with the fire on. The location was perfect as it was an easy and scenic walk into town. Would highly recommend to other guests.

Geraldine’s house was gorgeous. On arrival we were absolutely blown away by the location and her beautiful home. So many lovely welcoming touches like the stereo playing, lovely scented fragrances, freshly baked cake, coffee pods, chocolates and delicious breakfast goodies in the fridge which we weren’t expecting. We felt at home immediately. An abundance of firewood was also available to light the fire which made the house very cosy. On the morning of our departure, Geraldine messaged us to offer a complimentary late check out which we greatly very appreciated. We had a wonderful time in Rotorua and Geraldine’s home was the icing on the cake. We look forward to returning again one day.

Fantastic property in a great location. Great areas with 2 outdoor spaces and really great en-suite with master bedroom being away from the other 2 bedrooms. Really well setup kitchen and amenities. Would definitely recommend this property and we would stay again. Host responded very quickly and check in made easy.

Such a perfect spot for our stay. Lovely and clean and super homely. Thank you for making it such a great holiday.

This property was close to town, as described, clean and tidy, comfortable beds, nice hot shower, peaceful and quiet. Good clear and precise communication. I would book this property again in the future. Thanks Paul.

Lovely, caring hosts, who very kindly left us some breakfast, homemade lemonade and cookies! Great location for a family with kids, with a small, beautiful, self-contained garden a 2min walk to a park with a playground. Supermarket cafe and pub a 10-min walk away.

The place was fantastic.very well equipped.the views were absolutely fantastic.very comfortable.our group were very impressed .we could not fault it at all.we would definitely book again.

Lovely location overlooking Lake Taupo and into the sunset. Spacious deck to relax, eat and enjoy the view. Helpful responsive host. Very clean and well equipped living areas. Lovely Millennium Hotel restaurant right across the street. Great location for a relaxing break.

Loved my stay, left in the morning, returned at night, had awesome sleeps, comfortable and warm. Ngā mihi!

Very friendly and hospitable hosts who made us very welcome. The animals were a big bonus for our children. Thanks for having us.

Great to deal with the host, just everything was perfect. Flexible check in and check out process with great communication. The place was spotless and beds are very comfortable. One of the best air bnb places that we ever tried. We will definitely come back again.

Very charming place. Great for family getaways or reunions.

Absolutely blown away. Loved having the lake on our doorstep with an indoor spa to hop between. Hosts were excellent communicators and so welcoming! Our stay exceeded our expectations and we will most certainly be back!

Really beautiful place to stay, quite close to Hobbiton and Matamata. Nice distance from other houses if you're looking for a more private location. Caren is lovely and really responsive.

Last minute request due to disappointment with another accommodation. So grateful Levi was able to accommodate last minute request.

The property is beautifully presented, in a very quiet and picture perfect location. We had a wonderful time, and surprised ourselves with the good rest we all had. The living space and outdoor area are massive, and it is a very perfect location for a weekend away.

We had planned to stay a few years ago but sadly Covid stopped our plans so it had been a long time coming and it did not disappoint in the slightest! The location was perfect and the house was spacious and grand yet had cosy areas to sit around the fire, all the games the kids could dream of a a chefs dream kitchen! Not to mention the spa and the wonderful bath for those of us that wanted to simply relax! We have already booked again and can’t wait! What a find xx

This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I can't recommend it enough. We booked it for a night for a hens party and the look on guests faces when they arrived was priceless. Such a hidden gem in Katikati, and well worth the drive there if you are considering staying. The house was spectacular and so accommodating to a large group of people, with a lovely courtyard for outdoor activities. The little cottages were also a lovely surprise for guests and so well maintained. Laura's communication was also excellent. I would love to visit again one day. . . and stay for a week!
