About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake front with own jetty. Four bedroom with modern furnishings

The property has beautiful views of the lake looking directly at Mt Tarawera. It has been freshly painted and has new carpet. It has been very comfortably furnished. Very comfortable beds with feather duvets and feather pillows. It is at the start of the lake so it is an easy kayak around the corner to The Landing cafe for a morning coffee. It is close to so many fantastic outdoor activities. A 15 minute drive to the Redwood forest which has a huge range of mountain biking trails or walking tracks. Also 5 minutes from the start of the Tarawera Trail- a new walk from the Landing cafe to Hot water beach. There is a water taxi service that can pick you up at the end of the trail and drop you back to the jetty. There is also a walk starting from the Outlet of the lake to the Tarawera falls. The river disappears underground then re-emerges through fissures in a fractured cliff! The lake is very sheltered from many winds so often has beautiful flat water skiing conditions. Across the lake by Hot Water beach is a rock pool area you can sit in and let the warm water sooth your muscles after a ski. There are so many lovely picnic spots around the lake also. From Humphries Bay there is a walking track over to Lake Okataina. Also on the other side of the lake a walk to Lake Roromahana- famous for the Pink and White Terraces. Rotorua itself also has so many things to do. There is The Luge, the Zorbs , all the Geothermal wonders, wildlife parks, maori culture- the list is endless.

Please Note: Do not take your boat down the driveway as there is not enough space to turn it around. Please phone me on 021870063 if you would like to discuss options. Boats can be left at the jetty during your stay.

Great getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay! Was a great base for mountain biking and relaxing. Was well set up for a group of 8. Loved the view, the log burner and the spa after a hard day on the trails. The lakeside setting is gorgeous. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful location
The house is a bit rough around the edges, but set up to maximize the view, and it is a great view of both lake and mount Tarawara. The steps to the wharf are steep, but worth it. The kayak was a lot fun to take out. Plenty of heating options to keep the house warm, and plenty of firewood to keep the fire going. House was really well stocked and had everything we needed. We didn't have cell phone reception (voda) and the house phone didn't seem to work. But there was plenty of internet. Family had a great time. Ps did I mention the view?

Beautiful, idyllic Lake Tarawera in a dirty house
Having stayed here many about 3 time previously and never had any issues, we were astonished to be greeted with no paper or fire starters to warm up the house, and an extremely filthy kitchen with dirty dishes in the cupboards, milk still in the frother machine, and a shower with mould in every crack and crevice. Not the standard we had previously experience and extremely disappointing. We were also notified of a power cut on the Tuesday which we prepared for with early showers and many containers filled with water, however we were not prepared for the same to happen on the Thursday. Questioning the linesmen we were informed that the power was scheduled to be out for the Tue & Thu in the next 3 weeks also and that these were scheduled outages. If only we had been told of this we may have chosen not to stay at this house as it was quite an inconvenience when it happened twice during our stay with the second time not prepared for! The washing machine would not complete a full cycle on the everyday wash, the condenser dryer was full to the brim of the last users water and lint (yuck!). The dishwasher never managed to complete a full clean of all it's dishes with a lot on the bottom rack not washed at all. All of these appliances need a massive clean out. Personally I would change your cleaners as having spent a lot of time lounging on your fabulous loungers we were horrified to discover the amount of rubbish and dust lurking under each cushion and beneath the lounge suite itself. Pretty gross really and we were really disappointed as had stayed here in the past with no issues at all! Sorry to be the bearer of all this but seriously you need to sack your cleaners as they are not cleaning to even a remotely acceptable standard!

Great location with excellent amenities
We loved the spot and dealing with Jane was super easy - excellent in fact. The size of the property offers room for everyone although upstairs in the summer was very very hot. But expect we all suffer that at that time of the year. The access to the water and having the boat on site was excellent and having our little dog there was great to.

Brilliant Location and well set out property
Phenomenal location, well put together property. Well suited for a large group, very private and peaceful, great view out over the lake, great to BBQ outside as well as full kitchen facilities inside. You're 20 minute drive from Rotorua so can do all the touristy things and then escape to this sanctuary. It is by a lake so take insect repellent.

Peaceful paradise
Thanks for a peaceful, relaxing week at your slice of paradise. It was just our family of 3 and our 2 x Labradoodles that enjoyed the tranquility of this property for most of our stay. Some friends joined us for the last two nights and the property catered for our needs perfectly. Unfortunately the wind was coming straight in so couldn't make use of the convenience of having the boat on the lakeside jetty but a lovely walk with the pooches to the nearby launching ramp when conditions were right. Thank you very much, it was the perfect medicine after an extremely busy 6 months in our household.
