Nestled on the shores of Lake Rotorua, this modern two-bedroom escape is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything the region has to offer.

Spend your days exploring the lake, launching the boat from the private ramp, casting a line during the fly fishing season, or simply unwinding beside the pool or spa. Challenge friends to a game of tennis, fit in a workout at the gym, enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant, or venture out to discover the local cafés and attractions. Just 15 minutes from Rotorua and within easy reach of Papamoa and Mount Maunganui, this is an ideal base for both adventure and relaxation.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and welcoming living space with two heat pumps to keep you comfortable year-round, complimentary WiFi, and a Smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, and more for cosy evenings in.

Lovely location - remote, but just a short drive to any of the usual destinations. Loved the spa and pool and that the unit had sports equipment for playing tennis and other games. Room was great - kitchen was really good and well stocked with all the equipment needed to make meals. A great place to stay!

The property is clean and located just outside Rotorua town, about 12 kilometers. It is easy to commute into town and around for activities. Well away from the Rotorua smell, which takes some getting used to. We will book again for sure!

Take me back! AMAZING STAY!

Fantastic in every way. Leah you were so great to deal with, so helpful and prompt with communication. The house was better than pictured, it had everything you would need and more. It was so lovely after a big day out to come back to a home, swim, play some tennis (thank you so much for providing sports gear) and relax. Having a washing machine and dryer was so helpful also. Next time we are in Rotorua, we will be staying here. Thanks Leah 😊

Lovely apartment and a beautiful holiday park

We found the communication with Thea very agreeable, and the apartment to reflected the personality of a loving family. The area is very beautiful, surrounded by water. The pool area was very clean, too, as was the gym. We loved it there. It’s a brief Commute to Rotorua, totally worth an order to stay in such a nice place. There was washing powder available for the washing machine, even by a high and brand, which we appreciated, too. The only regret was to have stayed for two nights only and not longer.

Home away from home

Very happy with our stay - clean and comfortable property - with all amenities needed for a family stay, including some great toys and books for the kids, and good location walkable to lake with swimming pool option also. Oven was a bit tricky to operate (without instructions as the temp controls were missing) but owner Leah was very easy to contact and an easy fix to google instructions. Advert needs a little tweaking as there are beds for 4 people but can add a bed - Leah was very accommodating in this regards - many thanks!

We booked for 5 adults and unfortunately the 5th bed was a very basic camp bed which was only suitable for a young child so we had to sleep on the couch. Wasnt ideal. Otherwise the property was excellent

A great location

A nice little apartment that has everything you need. Could do with some better curtains to block out the lights that are on all night outside, and the bed in the main room could do with replacing...think roll-together. Also we were unable to access the gym with the card that was left - we didn't contact the owner as we had other commitments but it would have great if it had just worked. Other than that the location is great.

Thanks for your review Leanne. I was unaware the gym card was not working. The resort reception would have been able to give you another one however I will make sure I get this sorted asap for other guests. In regards to the curtains and bed I have never had any complaints but will look into this. The upstairs windows are getting replaced soon with double glazing so I will look into some new curtains also. Thank you.

When we arrived we couldn’t open the locker and it took around one hour (emails/call) until someone arrived with a spare key. If sometimes the locker box isn’t working they should replace it.
