About this house rental
23 Rainbow Drive is two dwellings on the one private secure site only a 100m from the lake edge via an access way off nearby Oregan Drive.
The 4 bedroom rear house is an entertainers dream with open plan living and great indoor/outdoor flow onto a large rear private and sun-filled deck. The house is well insulated and toasty warm with heat pump and panel wall heaters throughout the house. A large garage area also provides a rumpus room for the kids on wet or cold days and when they need to burn some energy! (This property sleeps 4 Adults and 4 Children. Any additional adults and children can utilise the seperate 2bdm cottage for the additional adult/children charge).
The 2 bedroom cottage on the front of the property is a cute and cozy separate home that provides options for additional family or friends that may be invited to stay - Great for family reunions or sporting groups / events.
Rainbow Point has the nearby Dairy for all your essentials and kid treats, along with the fantastic fish and chip shop for takeaway night. The Ploughmans restaurant will cater for your night out and all of these are just a short walk away.
Being so close to the lake and Lions walkway may mean that a walk to town along the lake front becomes a regular venture for your morning coffee.
Plenty of off street parking for vehicles or boats and secured behind gates for that peace of mind.
Special conditions:
• Use of both houses will incur additional adult charges over standard 4 adult allowance for the 4bdm house as per pricing schedule.
• Use of the separate 2bdm cottage is available for the additional adult/children charge as listed.
• Deck not suitable for very small children
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$95.00 per house); Linen (Optional, NZ$25.00 per person);

This is a lovely property - very easy walk down to the lake and to local shops - nice pub, fish and chip and dairy close by. The new Woolworths is also a 1 minute drive away. The home was spacious for 5 of us - there is ample room and a nice covered deck. Host was great in terms of easy communication and flexibility. Overall a great stay and would recommend to others

The space was great, clean and tidy. It wasn’t clear that no linen would mean no tea towels, bath mats and hand towels - however that may be our fault for not asking. The outhouse had great facilities and bed spaces. The ensuite bathroom windows and the outhouse bathroom windows didn’t seem to seal properly as both nights we stayed we came back home to find a significant amount of bugs on the ceiling and the vanity, when we didn’t have the light on. Other than this, it was a great stay and I would recommend it to other groups. Great communication with the host.

Big space so really good for our family. Was really nice and contemporary design. Well equip kitchen. Loved the open flow from kitchen to deck. Bed are comfortable. We really enjoyed our time here. Good location nice section of the lake. Things to note: both houses were swaming with cockroaches, windows lack proper seals so if lights are left on room is filled with mossies and moths... locks, latches, blinds and windows and other items were broken, dirty/molding curtain in lounge. These little things that kinda added up.
