The Neighborhood:

Millar's Hideaway sits in the peaceful lakeside settlement of Lake Ōkareka, one of Rotorua's prettiest small lakes. Boyes Beach is a 400m stroll away, ideal for a swim or simply soaking up the views, and the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and relaxed. You're wonderfully placed for the outdoors, with Blue Lake (Tikitapu) about 5 minutes away and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest around 10, while central Rotorua and its restaurants, shops and geothermal attractions are a 13 to 15 minute drive.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended out here, as public transport is limited, and there's an internal-access garage plus free street parking. By car, Blue Lake is about 5 minutes away, the Redwoods around 10, Te Puia and the city centre 13 to 15, and Polynesian Spa and Rotorua Airport about 15. Skyline, Zorb and Rotorua Canopy Tours are all roughly 22 to 23 minutes.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI runs at around 495 Mbps. This is a sunny single-level home set up for two, so it's a lovely quiet base for a couple. It sits by Lake Ōkareka with Boyes Beach a short walk away - please keep an eye on any little ones near the water.
