Everything about this place is perfect. Beautiful accommodation with stunning views over the valley. Louise is the hostess with the mostest!
I didn’t want to leave. If there was a rating above excellent, I would give it. I hope I can return one day but it’s a long way from my home in Scotland.

You simply cannot fault this property. From the moment you drive up its winding drive and enter the main living area, the wow factor just kicks in! The views, peacefulness and facilities are out of this world. Rooms are spotless & your host Lou can’t be more helpful or do enough for you. Breakfast is exquisite made from produce on the retreat. We wouldn’t hesitate to return if back this way and nobody would ever leave this place disappointed. If you do, there must be something wrong with you !!

Tranquil Country Place

We loved our time with Louise at Doolan's!!! It is about 15 minutes outside of Rotorua (far from any sulphur smell!). Louise made DELICIOUS breakfasts each morning and the common living area is very spacious with fabulous view. Our room was small, but completely adequate because of the large living space. The bed was quite comfy. The grounds are lovely!!! Louise was a delightful host.

Fabulous property in beautiful country setting with easy access to Rotorua and its attractions.
Louise is a very welcoming host providing tea and biscuits on arrival and delicious home cooked breakfasts every morning. She also has a wealth of information regarding what to see in the area and on local traditions and NZ history. The facilities are top notch and I will recommend Doolan’s to my friends if they visit the area

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.

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.

La chambre est super-propre, la propriétaire Louise est d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle, et elle est très bonne cuisinière. Ses poules fournissent les oeufs frais du matin. Le salon commun est accueillant, spacieux, et lumineux, avec une vue reposante sur la campagne autour. Louise était une source d’information impressionnante. Tout était parfait.
