Secluded Lake Escape with sweeping reserve views near the Botanical Gardens
Relax in a spacious, warm home that blends modern comfort with retro charm, set in the hills overlooking a large natural reserve. Peaceful and private, yet conveniently located, this is an ideal base for both relaxation and adventure.
The lakefront and the popular Two Mile Sailing Club café/bar are just a 15-minute walk away. A shared cycleway takes you to the town centre in around 15 minutes by bike, or an easy 8-minute drive.
The house is thoughtfully laid out to comfortably accommodate 2 to 6 guests, with two separate bathrooms for added convenience. The bunk room and adjoining area offer glimpses of the lake, adding to the sense of space and connection to the surroundings.
Sliding doors open onto steps leading down to a sheltered patio, complete with outdoor seating and a table—perfect for relaxed meals or evening drinks.
A large adjoining section provides open space with lake views, making it perfect for family games, relaxing outdoors, and enjoying beautiful sunsets over the water.
Day trips are easy, with Whakapapa Ski Field and the Sky Waka approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away, and Rotorua just an hour’s drive.
With laundry facilities, free Wi-Fi, and everything you need already set up, the home is designed for an easy, comfortable, and enjoyable stay.
