You will love our lakefront Kiwi bach in quiet Otumutu Lagoon and enjoy every moment holidaying at this unique and relaxing place.

Stunning views, a large deck, a fully secure boatshed and safe swimming beach with pontoon are just the beginning. Combine the joys of peaceful lakefront privacy with the benefits of access to the lake and grounds to explore.

Enjoy homemade pizzas in the woodfired oven, use of BBQ comfy beds, Blu Ray player/dvd, freeview TV and small library of books and games.In winter enjoy the cosy fire place including firewood and heaters in all rooms. There's even a professionally built treehouse, great for the kids.
Enjoy the use of kayaks, life jackets, pontoon and cold smoker and decide if you leave your phone on as this is one of a handful of houses that gets full cellphone coverage.

Easter Week at the Lake

We stayed here with our son for 6 nights and absolutely loved the Bach, grounds, access to the lake, stunning view and tranquility. Being able to bring the dog was an absolute bonus. The Bach is well set up with everything you need. Activity wise you are spoilt for choice with kayaking from your own jetty, walking around the lake or further afield, mountain biking and all the other attractions Rotorua has to offer or just lazing on the deck with a book. Highly recommended

Fantastic long weekend

On arrival we were blown away with the location and view, simply breathtaking. As a family group of eight adults and one baby under one we were well catered for with beds which were comfy. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with all we needed. Access to the lake and kayaks was easy. All on all, a very relaxing weekend enjoyed by all of us.
