Fodor's Review:

Morning sunshine floods through stained-glass windows in Anneke and John Van der Maat's charming country home, which has scenic views of the lake and Mt. Tarawera. Colored friezes run at ceiling height around every room; as befits two former professional rose growers, the decor emphasizes flowers. Throughout the house are mementos of the hosts' travels—a Buddha figure here, a prayer wheel there, blue-eyed dolls from Europe. An antique chandelier is suspended over the table in the five-sided breakfast room, where the morning meal includes homemade bread. One room is self-contained, with a separate entrance and a small kitchenette. Pros: The hosts are welcoming and sincere, the homemade cookies are delicious. Con: So, it's a drive to town! But you won't want to leave anyway.
