Val and Brian know how to run a B and B! Great food, comfortable and spacious rooms, and world class fishing off the back deck. Val is an amazing cook - ask for her pancakes. Brian is one of the most interesting people on earth. Unmatched guided trout fishing. I'll be back!

Our travel agent had booked us for two nights in the Tarawera room at this lovely B&B. The room overlooked the lake and lovely garden. It included a balcony, sofa, robes (no slippers), TV, and wifi. The bathroom had a whirlpool tub as well as shower. Breakfasts were very substantial with fresh fruit, homemade muffins, toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, etc.... More

Brian and Val are amazing hosts. Stayed at the Waiteti Lodge November last year and I absolutely loved it. Stunning view of the lake from the second floor. I also enjoyed kayaking on the lake (yes! they will provide you with the gears!). Will definitely stay here again when I am back in Rotorua.

Stayed with Brian and Val for two nights (18-19 Jan) in the Tarawere lake view room and the view is stunning. The accommodation was homely and provided all we needed (and a spa bath thrown in to relax away the end of the day). Val and Brian were very attentive and so helpful in suggesting things to do and their... More

We have just spent two nights with Val and Brian and could not have asked for better hosts. On arrival, we were offered a free upgrade (swiftly followed by a gin and tonic!). Nothing was too much trouble and their encyclopedic knowledge of the area meant that we were able to make the most of our stay. Val's breakfasts were... More

My husband and I stayed in the Bach for our honeymoon. It was completely self contained and private. The Bach looked over the lake and was amazing. The perfect location to unwind. Being only 10 mins from town meant we could just hop in the car and be at any activity we like. Brain and Val helped us organise everything,... More

We stayed both in the B&B and one of cottages. Both perfect! The place to be when to combine great trout fishing and do some shopping in Rotorua Town. Brian and Val are excellent hosts! Our next stay in Rotorua is definitely Waiteti lakeside lodge!
