Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We like to meet our guests to show some of our Kiwi hospitality (manaakitanga) and to help you make the most of your stay. We loved meeting you and hope to see you again one day. Merci beaucoup.

Thank you so much for your review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Kapowai Cottage and hope to see you all again sometime.

Thank you, Cliff, for your review of Kapowai Cottage, Holdens Bay , Rotorua and for the lovely comments you left in our visitor book "Very comfortable, welcoming home and hosts, loved the view of the lake and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend". Holdens Bay on the Eastern side of Lake Rotorua is a quiet neighbourhood with peaceful views and a 10 minute drive to town.

Thank you Angela for your review of Kapowai ( Dragonfly) Cottage. It was unfortunate that we were not able to meet and check you in to the cottage and get you settled etc. due to to being with a very I’ll family member over Easter as we do love to meet guests and ensure they have everything they needed for their stay.

Thanks for your review Tom. We were sorry your plans changed and you had to return home urgently. We would have loved to chat about the volcano conference you attended in Rotorua. Maybe next time!

It was a pleasure to meet you both. Cyclone Gabrielle caused such mayhem for everyone and we were happy to give advice and suggestions to help your plans. As tour operators we know our roads and attractions all over the North Island and we’re always happy to share our knowledge. We wish you all the best for a happy future.

Thank you Willie. We love meeting our guests on arrival and making sure you have everything you need for your stay. We’d love to see you again one day.

We were sorry that we could not meet you during your stay but glad your son had a great birthday and that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your kind review. Next time we will welcome you in person!

Thank you Gillian for your generous review of Kapowai Cottage. We do try to make our guests feel at home and my homemade gingernuts are always a hit! We enjoyed meeting you and the family and look forward to hosting you again. Thanks for joining us on fb too. Take care.

We are so pleased that your first Mothers Day and family holiday away was so comfortable and enjoyable at Kapowai Cottage.

Thanks for your review Sarah. It was unfortunate that you had a wet weekend in Rotorua. As locals we know the weather can be changeable and sometimes is not good for biking. While Kapowai Cottage has a washing machine drier combo, they are designed for light use only . The house manual gives locations for a number of nearby laundromats for large loads. We’re glad you enjoyed the cottage and the amenities Rotorua has to offer.

So glad your family had a great experience at Kapowai Cottage , Rotorua and we would love to see you again.

Thank you for your kind words. We try hard to provide all the comforts of home which is essential when travelling with children. Thanks for your stay.
