About this house rental

NEW....... PETS ALLOWED NOW! The owners have made a decision to allow up to 2 small dogs under 10kg to come, but as long as they are house trained, and owners pick up outside after them. There is a charge of $25 per pet per night. FURTHERMORE the property is getting a complete makeover with all sorts of new features that are added for the next summer. New imagery will be done when completed. It may be beneficial to have a second look using my name Norman Donald and 2 lakes, as an alternative.

This classic 70's style Lake House, set on the edge of Lake Okareka is somewhere to escape for a few quiet days of tranquility. You could look for the 2 lakes site where there is less cost involved. Sit on the deck and just watch the ducks and pukeko's. Maybe take a quiet paddle in the kayaks across the lake to the beach or troll a lure to catch a trout. You will need your own tackle and a licence of course! Fishing in this lake is known for being very productive! Or maybe you could take a walk along one of Rotorua's award winning walkways around the edge of the lake and farm perimeter. Lucy Playne one of the farm owners runs a top class horse trekking business on the adjacent farm and if thats you and you want to look across the region the views from up top on the farm are nothing less than sensational. Look up Horse Trekking Lake Okareka. The very popular sport of biking today in and around Rotorua offers up to 100 kilometres of trails through forestry tracks, the trail heading to Taupo or simply around the lakes. It really is a bikers paradise! The world mountain bike champs known as Crankworx are being staged in Rotorua in March.
Lake Okareka is one of sixteen lakes in the Rotorua District. It is only 11ks to Rotorua central which has abundant restaurants, cafes and shopping but tucked away from the main busy tourist routes, you can enjoy a quiet peaceful environment. Only minutes from the Blue Lake. We have 3 excellent golf courses to choose from and if its hiking the Tarawera Trail alongside Lake Tarawera can take up to 4.5 hours to walk to Hot Water Beach, or 3 to the Champagne Pool at the Wairua Stream before you come to Hot Water beach, and you can arrange to be collected by the Water Taxi on phone 07 3628080.
This house is situated on the lake edge and children are welcome but one has to watch small children close to the lake edge.

Always an enjoyable holiday

Being right on the water was awesome. Not only for the boat, but the kids loved swimming/jumping from the jetty and kayaking around. The spa on the deck was also a great addition. The size of the house was good for the large group and the games room set up in the garage got used heaps.

Beautiful location, New Zealand at its finest. The house is large and relatively comfortable with a whole heap of Kayaks which was awesome as most places only have 2 or 3. Only a couple negatives which bothered me enough to include in a review. The spa water was not usable due to extremely dirty water (needed to be refilled which was not done during our stay). The house was handed to us in a below average state and all the outside bins were full. The property manager came to the house twice over our 5 night stay which felt a little invasive.

Dated home in amazing position on the lake. Clean home. Small lounge/dining on ground floor which is where you would mainly hang out with another lounge upstairs that we didn't really find convenient to use. Kayaks to use, spa pool. Price listed is plus extra guests and plus linen, price was incorrect on listing but has since been updated. Probably not ideal to stay with young kids due to lake frontage. For price of listing needs a bit of work ie dishwasher needs replacement trays, only one scoop of washing powder supplied, pegs all broken little things but just annoying
