We thoroughly enjoyed our one night at Lakeview Heights. It's a stunning home with fantastic views of Lake Rotorua. It is very homey with cozy rooms, a nice big fire place, and a garden area overlooking the lake. Even better are the hosts-Liz and John. They are so warm and hospitable-they made us feel very welcome and Liz even took... More

Lakeview Heights is a fabulous home away from home! Liz and John are great people and terrific cooks (both of them!), the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Big Penny and Little Penny, are just adorable, and Fluff, the old cat has a great temperament and always presents herself for some rubs. The farm is gorgeous with lovely Arab horses, sheep, cows,... More

Lakeview Heights fit the bill perfectly for us - more than enough rooms to fit our party of 6, very hospitable and warm hosts (Liz and John), a fat house cat (deaf!), 2 adorable dogs (Penny and Penny), 4 beautiful horses and a backyard with a lake view. Loved every minute of our time there and the only regret we... More

We are a family of four travelling around NZ in a camper van with a few B&B stops along the way. John and Liz are wonderful, warm hosts and we all felt instantly welcome and at home. The homemade cakes and cookies are delicious, the breakfasts sumptuous, and the house is spotless yet extremely comfortable. The delightful dogs and very... More

We were two couples discovering NZ last month, stayed here two nights. Turned out to be one of the highlights of our 12 day holiday, wish we had stayed longer. We have fond memories of the awesome views - sunsets in particular - the friendly hosts and pets. Had a very comfortable stay in the spacious but cosy house, spotlessly... More

As well as having a spectacular view over... More

Liz and John's origins shine through with their hospitality and breakfasts (the best on our two week tour of New Zealand). Their house is in a "jaw dropping" location with wonderful views. So as not to repeat other view comments, I agree with them all. Liz and John were also very helpful on our 2-day stay in advising and organizing... More
