About this property
The Lookout | Stunning Rotorua Views with Spa Pool
Summary:
The Lookout is a stylish and modern holiday home, set on an elevated site that offers incredible panoramic views of Rotorua. This private location is surrounded by grazing land with small enclaves of native bush and guests can take a walk up the hill behind the house to meet the neighbours - a group of friendly alpacas. Soak up the stunning atmosphere with the open plan design leading out to the deck and spa pool.
The Space:
This holiday home offers a comfortable layout, featuring three bedrooms and one full bathroom, plus a second toilet for added convenience. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The master bedroom and living spaces boast breathtaking views of Rotorua city and the shimmering Lake Rotorua, offering an enchanting vista day and night. Bedroom two is furnished with a queen-size bed, while bedroom three provides flexible sleeping arrangements with a double bed and a single bed. Step outside onto the wrap-around deck, complete with outdoor furniture and a relaxing hot tub. Additional amenities include a double garage and a laundry room equipped with a table tennis table, perfect for family entertainment.
Guest Access:
You'll have access to the entire house, including the three bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen, living area, and outdoor spaces. Enjoy amenities such as the hot tub, BBQ grill, and outdoor seating area. Free parking is available on the premises.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled on the side of Mount Ngongotaha in the peaceful Western Heights neighbourhood, 'The Lookout' offers a tranquil escape while still being conveniently close to Rotorua's attractions. You're a short drive from the city center, where you can explore a variety of dining options, from casual cafes to fine dining restaurants. Experience the unique geothermal wonders of Te Puia (approx. 10-minute drive), or take a relaxing stroll through the Government Gardens (approx. 15-minute drive). For those seeking adventure, the Redwood Forest is also within easy reach (approx. 10-minute drive), offering stunning walking and biking trails. Back in the neighborhood, enjoy the serenity of your surroundings, with the added charm of friendly alpacas grazing nearby. Local shops for groceries and essentials are also a short drive away, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Getting Around:
Navigating Rotorua from The Lookout is convenient. You'll find free parking on the premises in the double garage. Rotorua Airport (ROT) is a quick 15-minute drive. While public transport isn't extensively available in Western Heights, the city center's attractions and dining spots are a short drive away.
