Holiday home at Lake Tarawera, Rotorua

The house has parking for 3 cars. There's additional parking on the street by the driveway and behind the house on Te Tora Dr. You can also park a boat on top of the driveway before the sharp turn, though you will need to shuffle cars or park them on Te Tora Dr.

Why they chose this property
When we go to the lake, all of our everyday stress falls away. Tarawera reminds us life is beautiful. It's a place filled with fond memories, shared with people who matter to us.
Walk around the lake or go for a swim. Mountain biking at Redwoods is world class - you can start on Tarawera Rd at the new Tawa carpark. Rotorua town centre is about 20 mins away - close enough for day visits and far enough to feel you are back amongst tress and birds.
