What a gem
The Love Shack is a treasure, in a wonderful, peaceful spot. Our stay was one of the most relaxing holidays thanks to the lake front position, the bush walks, kayaking and the bach was charming and had more than everything we needed for the week. Flo and Rod were wonderful warm, hospitable hosts and welcomed us with snacks and wine. Expectations exceeded! Thank you.

Lovely place in beautiful surroundings
We had a wonderful stay. The place was clean, very well stocked, in a perfect location, quiet and the location by the lake is serene. Florence was excellent with communication. We'll definitely come back again if it's free next time we are up Rotorua way. Highly recommended!

Stunning property
This property is in a stunning location & absolutely everything you need is thought of. It has to be one of the best baches I have stayed in and waking up to the sounds of the birds and having coffee by the lake cannot be beaten. Florence is extremely lovely to communicate with & everything was a dream. Thank you.

The Love Shack - The Little Gem In A Slice of Paradise!
WOW, the Love Shack truly lives up to its name and exceeded all our expectations! This is by far one of THE BEST places we've ever stayed. The amenities provided are above and beyond, the location is excellent and the views are absolutely amazing. Private lake access and tranquil nature. The perfect place to unwind for our anniversary. Florence is simply the perfect host, the communication was literally so so fast and so so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The Love Shack is everything and more, a little gem in a slice of paradise! Wish we could have stayed longer; definitely next time!

Just fab
Lovely lakeside retreat. Peaceful and picturesque location with modern amenities, private and surrounded by bush. This suited us perfectly as a couple. We visited the local Okere Falls Store every day for great coffee and some of the best food we've tasted. All in all a lovely time and will be back for more.

Perfect getaway spot! 3 days felt like 2 weeks (in the best way possible!) Very relaxing and cosy, gorgeous view, and close to lots of great spots in the Bay of Plenty. What more could you need? Absolutely loved it.
