Don’t skip this delightful ranch estate!
Fantastic place and hosts! We could not recommend Doolan’s more, Louise and mark are lovely hosts, very accommodating and interesting to converse with. The estate is simply gorgeous and comfy! Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely return one day. They had many good travel suggestions and know so much about the area’s history and culture! Breakfast was perfection!

A gem around Rotorua
This is a beautiful home in outskirts of Rotorua. Louise is a great hostess and we felt very welcomed immediately upon arrival. She and her husband Mark took over this family home turned bed & breakfast from her mother a couple years ago. The rooms were very clean. The living room is huge and unique. We enjoyed the breakfast very much, and my wife learned how to make Egg Benedict in Louise’s way. I do recommend this place and would return without hesitation.

The surrounding is lovely and the panorama is great. Lousie, the host is a talented painter and a wonderful host, who knows exactly what to suggest to her guests. The property is spotless and unique and it is wonderfully quiet.

This place was paradise! Quiet, beautifully situated in the middle of hills, valleys, trees and flowers. The room was stunning, breakfast delicious, hosts lovely, friendly and accommodating, and just a short drive to all of the sights and activities. I would highly recommend Doolan's.
