- LIVING AREA -

An inviting living room with an indoor fireplace (firewood provided), opening to the kitchen and dining area - all with lake views. Perfect for a cosy evening in after a day on the water.



- OUTDOOR AREA & LAKE -

The cabin sits right on the lake, with direct access to the water and complimentary kayaks (life jackets included) for exploring. A stroll along the beach brings you to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve with its huge playground and boat ramp. Settle in for the sunsets over Lake Rotorua.



- PARKING & BIKE STORAGE -

Free parking on the premises and on the street, plus a garage with a bike wash and bike racks - handy for the mountain bikers.



Guest Access:

You'll have the whole cabin to yourselves - both bedrooms, the full bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining area - along with lake access and the kayaks. Sheets, towels and the basics are all provided.



The Neighborhood:

Cooper's Lakeside sits in peaceful Holdens Bay, right on the eastern shore of Lake Rotorua - a tranquil lakeside pocket with the airport just five minutes away and the city centre an easy drive around the bay. A stroll along the beach brings you to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its huge children's playground and a boat ramp - great for families and anyone bringing a boat. You're also close to the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest for walking and mountain biking, with Te Puia's geysers, the lakefront hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa, and Skyline's gondola and luge all within reach - the best of both worlds, lakeside calm with everything close by.



Getting Around:

You'll want your own vehicle here, with free parking on site and on the street. Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its playground and boat ramp, is a short walk along the beach. Rotorua Airport is just 5 minutes by car, the Redwoods around 12, Te Puia and central Rotorua about 15, and Skyline, Canopy Tours and Zorb roughly 25 minutes over on the western side of the lake.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI runs at around 104 Mbps. There's a garage with a bike wash and racks for the mountain bikers. Being right on the lake, we do get lake flies, especially at dusk as the light changes - they don't bite and are more of an annoyance than anything (they're what feeds the lake's famous trout), but it pays to keep the windows closed at night, especially with the lights on inside.



This property has a Minut sensor in the living room that monitors noise and smoke. It never records audio - it only sends our property managers a decibel reading if noise stays above acceptable levels for a sustained period.

Nice place with a fabulous view of the lake and access to it. It was close to town and main tourist attractions like Te Puia and the pickup location for the Hobbiton Tour. Midge flies don’t bite but they’re a nuisance. If you’re in and around Rotorua there is the smell of sulphur which takes getting used to.

This property was a wonderful, calming respite. Right on the lake with great access and lovely views. The cabin feel was delightful, comfortable, and cozy. We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay and will return if in the area again. Convenient location for the activities we were interested in.
