A cosy, self-contained two-bedroom cottage in the lakeside village of Ngongotahā - a comfortable, private base for a couple or small family.

The cottage sits on the same property as the owner's home, but the two are entirely separate (bar the shared parking), with your own private entrance, so you'll have your own space.

Guest Access:
You'll have the whole cottage to yourselves - both bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen and the living area - along with the hot tub and the BBQ on the back deck. The cottage has its own private entrance and, although it shares the property with the owner's home, the two spaces are completely separate apart from the shared parking, so your stay stays private.
The Neighborhood:
Ngongotaha Cottage sits in a peaceful, residential pocket of Ngongotahā village, on the northwestern side of Lake Rotorua. There's a local park just moments away and the lake is close by for kayaking and paddle-boarding, while a café, small village shops and a grocery store are all within easy walking distance. Hamurana Golf Course is about 10 minutes away, and Skyline and Velocity Valley are only 6 to 7. The Rotorua lakefront, with its cafes and shopping, is around 10 to 14 minutes by car.
Getting Around:
A car is easiest here, with free parking on the premises and on the street. By car, Velocity Valley and Skyline are just 6 to 7 minutes away, Hamurana Golf about 10, the city centre and lakefront around 14, Polynesian Spa and Te Puia 15 to 16, and the Redwoods about 21. Rotorua Airport is roughly a 22 to 24 minute drive.
Other Things to Note:
The hot tub is there for guests to enjoy. This is a self-contained cottage with its own private entrance, sharing the property with the owner's home but otherwise entirely separate. It's a short walk to the village shops and café, and close to the lake.

A nice little cottage that had everything we needed! Friendly hosts and easy location in relation to a lot of touristic attractions. Spa pool was a nice bonus too!
This is a modern property ideally suited to visiting the sights around Rotorua. The facilities are good and the area is in a peaceful residential zone. Recommended!
The cottage was clean, well equipped and in a convenient location on a quiet street. Amenities were nearby including a great coffee shop. Check in was quick and easy and it was so comfortable. Highly recommended for a couple, family or friends travelling together.
The perfect location for enjoying the bike trails in Rotorua! Clean, quiet, and modern a fabulous place to stay for a few days, just outside the hustle of Rotorua.
Though small, we found this a lovely cozy place from which to base our adventures in Rotorua. The location was handy to all the best spots. Best of all was the spa to warm up and relax in at the end of the day! It was spotlessly clean and we loved having the towels and linens provided.
Highly recommended, my kids enjoy a lot, very clean, plus unlimited hot spa, was amazing. Definitely we will comeback…Thank you and best regards to the lovely owner, Cheers
We loved staying at the Ngongotaha Cottage. Just a short 5min drive past the Skyline/Luge - it was still close to everything we needed, without being amongst the hustle and bustle.
The owners gave us plenty of privacy, the spa pool was amazing and the cottage was so nicely presented. Great little cottage and we would easily book in again for all of our annual Rotorua visits for sports.
Loved the property even though it looked very different to the original pictures look quite different to the ones shown when we booked the trip.
Loved the SPA and the property was very clean and tidy and the main bed was great.
Only negative was that we are used to cooking with Gas so the slowness of the electric oven and cook top was a little frustrating at first.
Would definitely stay there again
Fantastic 2 bedroom cottage style home. You do share property with a home located next to cottage however this did not affect our stay at all. Cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. And at the end of the day we absolutely loved coming back for a soak in the outdoor spa. Communication with host was excellent. All made for a wonderful stay.
The property had everything one could want and everything worked. It was very easy to find and parking was very convenient. The hot tub was a pleasant surprise, and much appreciated. It was included in the price of the let, which is unusual.Thank you
