The Space:
A relaxed, comfortable lakefront house right on the shores of beautiful Lake Rotoiti - a lovely, laid-back spot for a family or group getaway by the water. It's a single-level home, easy to get around, with five bedrooms and an open-plan living and dining area warmed by an indoor fireplace. The real drawcard is out the back: your own private jetty, so you can swim, kayak or launch the boat straight from the property, and a spacious, sunny, north-facing lawn that's made for outdoor games and lazy afternoons. There's a covered deck with a BBQ for evenings outside, and a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking up the day's catch. It's an honest, good-value bach rather than a flash retreat - the kind of place where the lake does the entertaining.

Guest Access:
You'll have the whole house and grounds to yourselves - all five bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen and living area, the covered deck with its BBQ, and the north-facing lawn running down to the water. Best of all, the private jetty is yours to use for swimming, kayaking and boating. There's free parking on-site and on the street.
The Neighborhood:
The Middle sits right on Lake Rotoiti, one of the prettiest of the Rotorua lakes and a favourite for swimming, fishing, kayaking and boating. It's a peaceful, natural setting a little out of town, so it feels like a proper escape - the lake and the outdoors are the main event here. The Okere Falls Store and craft beer garden is about 21 minutes away for a coffee or a meal, Rotorua Airport is around 14 minutes, and central Rotorua with its restaurants, shops and geothermal attractions is roughly 26. A short drive brings you to local stores for groceries and essentials.
Getting Around:
A car is essential out here, with free parking on-site and on the street. By car, Rotorua Airport is about 14 minutes away, the Okere Falls Store around 21, the Redwoods Forest roughly 24, and central Rotorua and the Polynesian Spa about 26. Public transport is very limited, so having your own vehicle makes all the difference.
Other Things to Note:
A few honest things to know: The Middle is a relaxed, good-value lakeside bach rather than a luxury home - clean and comfortable, with the lake and jetty as the real highlights. The five bedrooms share one bathroom (with two showers), which is worth bearing in mind for a larger group. It's right on the water, so please keep an eye on younger children around the lake and jetty. The setting is peaceful and a little out of town, so a car is essential. WiFi runs at a fast 294 Mbps.

Great stay and nice spot by the water. Only problem we had was we needed a fire guard as we had little kids with us apart from that was a great stay. We used the private jetty to launch our jet ski. Was amazing!
We stayed here for a family trip. We had a wonderful time. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Plenty of room in the house. Loved it. Will definitely stay again.
Good location for a weekend of family trout fishing. If you have an average sized boat the driveway is quite tight to navigate and only just enough room for vehicle and trailer to still shut the gate. Once in feels very private :)
Water pressure wasn’t good. Barbecue could have been cleaner and not all the elements worked. Really lovely setting and so relaxing. Really enjoyed our stay so serene
The bach is basic, but comfortable. This place is really all about location, great big grassy area where the kids could play, outdoor bean bags were well used. It’s right on the road, but not as noisy as expected and is well fenced meaning we didn’t need to worry about the kids. Friendly neighbours and a very responsive property manager. We really enjoyed our stay.
