The Neighborhood:
Lake View Inn sits on a peaceful, no-exit street in Ngongotahā, on the northwestern side of Lake Rotorua, with beautiful lake views from the property. There's no direct lake access from the section itself, but it's just a short walk around to Ranginui Street, where you'll also find productive trout fishing at the river mouth - bring your rod. Ngongotahā Village, about 2.5km away, has cafes, bakeries, a small supermarket and handy services including a doctor's surgery, pharmacy and mechanic, so you barely need to head into the city.
Getting Around:
Getting around is easiest with your own transport, and there's plenty of parking on site and on the street. The nearest bus stop is a short 300-metre walk away on Ranginui Street. By car, Zorb, Skyline and Canopy Tours are all around 8 to 10 minutes, Polynesian Spa and the lakefront about 17, Te Puia around 19, Rotorua Airport about 23, and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest around 24.
Other Things to Note:
WIFI runs at around 62 Mbps. The property is pet-friendly (charges apply). Please note there is no lake access directly from the property - the views are lovely, but for direct lake access it's a short walk around the corner to Ranginui Street.

Thanks for the kind words, Quinton. Lovely to hear the first stay worked so well that you're bringing the family back - that means a lot to us. See you soon!

We had a wonderful time staying at Ngongotaha - the house is very comfortable and well equipped, with beautiful views out to the lake. Close to Rotorua, but also lovely and quiet.
This is a beautiful place to stay. It is in a quiet location across from the lake and has everything to make your stay enjoyable. Recommend it to anybody and hope to be back. Many thanks again
Beautiful property. Was wonderful to have the fire on such a wet & wild weekend. Cosy & warm. Excellent layout of rooms made it ideal for different members of the family to rest & have privacy.
Enjoyed our recent stay with our family. Lovely to have lake views from the deck. House was well appointed and had everything we needed. Close enough to Rotorua to explore but also close to the main state highway 5 to explore further a field.
Perfect house, fully equipped, plenty of space. Beautiful views of lake. Very peaceful and only a few minutes from town. Even the teenagers loved it. Would love to come back.
We really enjoyed our stay, the property was very clean and very nicely presented. It had everything we needed and the location was lovely and peaceful, and only a short drive to the nearest shops and approx 10 mins to Rotorua. The check in process was very easy and communication was nice and clear. If you have young kids be sure to take some games or puzzles with you, as there isn’t anything like that in the house.
Couldn't fault the property which was so peaceful. Couldn't get into the lock box which evidently is not the first time but it was sorted quite quickly which I appreciated. Loved the fire and lucky to have two beautiful clear sunny days which enhanced the stunning views.
We enjoyed our stay, property was very nice. Beautiful breeze through the house. Kitchen well equipped, might have been nice with a coffee maker(like Nespresso maker). The property foes not allow area along water front to walk dogs, however the property was great for the small dogs and they could not get out. I would recommend that the owners think of having a couple of water related things for kids. Eg: kayaking
Very close-to the luge and other amenities.overall great stay.
The property was wonderful for a large family holiday. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Room for 6 adults and the fact we could take our two puppies along was a drawcard, with the dogs enjoying the large outdoor space. The site is slightly out of Rotorua but only a few minutes drive to all the joys of the city. We would definitely return to this accommodation.
Such a lovely, relaxing house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the fact we could bring our little dog with us was just wonderful. We all felt very comfortable at Lake View Inn and will be back if we are ever in the area again. Thank you!
The accomodation is beautiful, nice and open with a beautiful view of the lake. Close to most whānau activities like Rotorua Canopy, Luge, Mini Putt only 5 mins away. Awesome retreat by the lake for whānau/family
