A classic Kiwi bach in a truly enviable Motuoapa location - welcome to Marina Views!
As soon as you spot your home away from home on the lakeside drive through Motuoapa, you’ll know you’re on holiday. A huge front lawn awaits with plenty of space to park the car, the boat, and even the jetski, and a charming porch is ready for you to park yourself, cold drink in hand.
Head inside and make yourself at home. The living room here at Marina Views is furnished with your comfort in mind, with leather couches and a wood burning fireplace making this a cosy space for everyone to share.
Prepare delicious meals in the fuss-free kitchen and enjoy eating them together as you stare out the picture windows and admire the lake views. Make use of the fish house with its filleting station to prepare your fresh catch for a BBQ dinner!
At the end of a day spent boating and swimming, two bedrooms with a double in each are waiting for you to rest your head and recharge the batteries for tomorrow.
Marina Views is right across the road from the new Motuoapa Marina and the swimming beach at Motuoapa Bay. Launch the boat within minutes of finishing breakfast, and make the most of a day on the water!
For an adventure afield, why not jump in the car for 12 minutes and visit the Tokaanu Hot Springs, take a 35-minute scenic drive to Taupo, or drive 45 minutes to Whakapapa and the Tongariro National Park! If you need supplies, it’s just a quick nine minute drive to Turangi.
Bring the family, bring the boat, and escape to the lake - Marina Views awaits!
