Impressed our overseas visitors
Lovely accomodations with lots of amenities. Only downside was lack of screening on some windows which prevented opening the windows on hot nights and not enough fans to ventilate the bedrooms.

We Want to Go Back!
Wow! Five stars is not enough for the Gemini Lodge. Everything was perfect. Communication with Joe and Cynthia was fantastic, the grounds were immaculate, the lodging was pristine and not only had everything we needed, it had extra touches, too (including a snack basket, teas, Nespresso, extra towels, etc). The only problem was that we didn't stay long enough! If Joe offers you his custom boat ride, take him up on the offer. That was one of our favorite things we did while in NZ. Bottom line: We can't recommend this place enough and we hope we can take another vacation that allows us to stay at Gemini Lodge longer!

Amazing stay on a peaceful, beautiful property
The perfect spot for our first trip to New Zealand! We decided to spend a couple of nights in Rotorua in between our stays in Auckland and Wellington. Not only was Rotorua a beautiful area, but this property was perfect for our family of four. Cynthia and Joe were welcoming, communicative hosts, the chalet was beautiful and the property was stunning. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. Thank you!!

Beautiful, tranquil, cozy - awesome stay!
This is the cutest house. The setting on the lake inspired many early morning walks to the lake front for pictures of the sunrise, the black swans and other shore birds. The owners have taken a lot of thought and care to make our stay comfortable and peaceful. We were gifted coffee, a bottle of wine, snacks and everything was there to make our trip easy and comfortable. It was a lovely home, in a magical setting that made day trips easy. If you visit the Rotorua area, stay here. You’ll never want to leave.

Amazing Property
The Gemini is an amazing property!! I’ve been to several countries and stayed in many rental properties. This was a one of a kind! It felt like we were at a resort. There were many on property activities to do from swimming to kayaking. It was nice to have it all included. The owners were great to work with, answered all of our questions and were extremely accommodating. If I ever return to New Zealand, I will definitely stay here!!

Wow! Don't pass this one up!
We've stayed at many, many VRBOs over the years and boy did we feel like we hit the jackpot here. Absolutely gorgeous location and the most charming little house facing the lake. Super clean, comfortable and updated home with everything you could need in a well stocked kitchen. Beautiful pool, gym area and hot tub. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the lake very much, that was a big bonus for us. There was also a barbeque/fire pit area available. Owners very friendly and property immaculate. They had a fantastic binder prepared with area attractions, restaurants, property information, etc. Very well thought out. If NZ wasn't so far away from our home in the US we would be back every summer and stay longer!
