About this property

LAKESIDE GETAWAY AT PICTURESQUE LAKE OKAREKA

Lakeside getaway at picturesque Lake Okareka
This unique property offers small and large groups the opportunity to get away from it all and relax and enjoy the view of beautiful Lake Okareka. This property also features on my own 2 Lakes site if your preference is to deal directly and with no web fees.

This recently renovated family holiday home is lovingly decorated and reflects the Dutch heritage of the owners of the property while also offering a brand new kitchen and two full modern bathrooms.

The front porch and lawn is the perfect place to relax during the day, gaze out at the water, read books and sunbathe. The private courtyard out the back has a bbq and outdoor seating area, and is great for drinks and dining in the evening.

Sleeps up to 10 people, this property offers WiFi (Fibre), heat pump, TV, as well as USB charging points in all bedrooms.

Lake Okareka’s public boat ramp is just metres away and also has a large extended jetty for swimming and launching boats. This lake is very popular for boating, water skiing, kayaking and sailing, and offers great trout fishing opportunities year round.

The Lake Okareka Reserve and Boardwalk is just a 10 minute walk (or 2 minute drive) with spectacular views of the lake and surrounding area, as well as a bird watching paradise.

The property is an excellent home base for those visiting Rotorua for hiking, mountain biking, fishing and boating, with plenty of secure off-street parking.

It’s a 3-minute drive to Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake) which offers excellent swimming, a playground and waterskiing, and a 10 minute drive to Lake Tarawera.

Only a 15 - 20 minute drive from central Rotorua attractions, including the geothermal mud pools, Redwoods - Whakarewarewa Forest biking trails and walks, Polynesian Spa and Skyline Luge.

We hope you enjoy your peaceful break at Vogelenzang - Lake Okareka.
