About this property

Peaceful Lake Retreat

Looking for an escape from work? Maybe a weekend away, send the kids to the grandparents that’s what they are there for right? If you’re after a home away from home then look no further.
This holiday home found at Lake Rotoiti is just a mere 1 minute walk from the shore and has a lot of fun to offer. With a large open plan living room you can enjoy family time or just large quiet area to yourself. Three large double bedrooms (two more accurately described as huge!) and two bathrooms found down stairs allow you to have that private time you might need after a long day with the family or maybe a few hours too much sun exposure.
In the evenings crack an ice cold brown fizzy, sit on the deck and soak up the last of the sun with supreme lake views. Have peace of mind knowing the house is set back from the rest so you can sit up here in full privacy, try to keep the bathing suit on however as the neighbours have kids. While we are on that note it would be greatly appreciated if you could show a little courtesy to our neighbours who are permanent residents and keep the noise down, so no stags or hens parties and lower the noise after 9pm.
Spend the next day or days walking off that extra beer that demanded to be drunk with the numerous trails around the area or many of the attractions the Rotorua township has to offer, or just relax… but at the very least enjoy your stay.

Special conditions:
Please note this is a Two Storey Home, Bedrooms and Bathrooms downstairs and Kitchen, lounge and Dinning upstairs. Please remember to bring your own bed linen and towels. Smoking allowed outside only.
Pets allowed with prior approval. There is no WiFi/internet at this property.
Please leave the Bach as you find it. Cleaning $125.00 per stay (optional); Bond $300.00 per stay (required).

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$125.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The property was ideal with space for the grandparents and a lovely playground for the children
There was plenty of parking as well as room for two boats.The property was lovely and clean with loads of space. We also had beautiful weather and the host contacted us when a precious white rabbit was left behind and he was returned to his little owner.

Great Lake House
The house is spacious and has everything you need. So close to the boat ramp. The family loved the volleyball net, lawn space and the videos. This was our second stay and we can’t wait to come back for our third.

Great views and handy for boat access
The deck upstairs overlooking the lake was lovely and the furnishings had a nice bach feel. Beds very comfortable. Would be good for younger children with a playhouse and swings. Only a minute drive to the boat ramp with plenty of car and trailer parking. Not sure how we would have cleaned the property if we hadn't paid the cleaning fee as we didn't find a vaccum, mops or buckets. You would need to bring your own. We had a nice stay.

Great house close to the lake
This property is so well set up for a holiday at the lake. Awesome large lounge for quality family time in the evening. The biggest perk was its close proximity to the boat ramp. We would definitely stay here again.

Older but comfortable
Home built in 1970’s would have been outstanding in its day and so understandably after 50 years is now a little dated. It has however been well cared for and maintained. It’s probably the most comfortable we have encountered in all our stays with numerous comfortable couches. More of a relaxing home than a batch which is a welcome change.

Great for family and relaxation
What a great family place. My 3 year old loved the swing, playhouse and backyard, whilst we had a great time playing backyard volleyball with my 2 preteen boys. We relaxed on the deck, enjoyed the great fish and chips just down the road, and got comfy playing games and watching tv at night. Would definitely stay again!
