Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Escape to this unique and serene stream side haven which is enveloped in nature’s seclusion near Lake Rotorua. I can also be found on my 2 lakes site and it would be worth your while checking this out! Here you can enjoy carefree, contemporary living away from the noise of the city with birdsong by day, the flurry of ducks at sunset and dark, peaceful nights.

The space
With room to accommodate 12 guests, the substantial 400m2 home is gorgeous, warm, and inviting with a fabulous feel and central heating to keep you warm. The home also has 2 large wood burner fireplaces for extra heating and atmosphere. In the heat of summer, you can keep cool with the aircon situated in the living/kitchen/dining area! The house is set on one easy family-friendly level with 6 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 4 toilets located in two separate wings with the living area in the centre.

The gourmet kitchen is fitted with modern, upmarket conveniences and the family room and dining area opens to a sun-filled patio.
There’s a separate TV lounge, (Netflix can also be accessed on the large TV) and the massive garage has been set up as a gym and a games room complete with a full-sized billiard table, ping pong, exercycle walker, TV, and just perfect for rainy day fun with a new log-burner to keep you warm in winter.

When you feel like venturing out, there are so many activities to experience in this popular lakeside neighborhood with a jetty and boat ramp nearby. Paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating on Lake Rotorua, fishing (with a license), or perhaps enjoying a leisurely round of golf at the 9-hole golf course. There’s also plenty of scenic waterfront walking.

The owners have added all kinds of extras to the property including a security access gate, upgraded central heating, a new heat pump, 2 new fireplaces for ambiance, a full-sized billiard table and ping pong, spa pool, and even a massage chair, it just goes on with this owner's wish to make your experience the best!

THE MASSAGE CHAIR ROOM TO REMAIN LOCKED PLEASE, AND THIS IS FOR ADULTS ONLY. THE CHAIR IS QUITE POWERFUL AND YOUNG KIDS COULD BE INJURED.

There are 2 new seperate gazebo areas on either side of the house, so you can choose a suitable exterior entertaining area depending on the wind direction.

This idyllic escape is not far off the beaten track, being just a 20 minute drive from Rotorua CBD, 10 minutes from the spectacular Okere Falls, close to tourist attractions and 45 minutes to Mt Maunganui beach.
