The open-plan living and dining area opens onto a covered deck with a BBQ - the perfect spot to relax and take in the outlook. There are two living areas, each with a smart TV and Netflix, a large, fully-equipped kitchen, and heating and cooling throughout.

Sleeps 8 in total. Each bedroom has its own heat pump. All bedding and linen supplied.



- BATHROOMS -

Two full bathrooms.



- LIVING AREA -

Two living areas, each with a smart TV and Netflix. The main open-plan living and dining area sits off the large, fully-equipped kitchen and opens onto a covered deck with a BBQ and lake views. The second living area has two pull-out sofa beds.



- PARKING -

Off-street parking in the double internal-access garage and on the driveway (down a steep, shared driveway).



Guest Access:

You'll have the whole house to yourselves, including the double internal-access garage and the laundry - all three levels, both living areas, all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the fully-equipped kitchen and the covered deck. You'll enjoy fantastic lake views from the deck, though please note there is no direct lake access from the property - the land in front of the house belongs to the neighbours.



The Neighborhood:

Kawaha Point is one of Rotorua's loveliest neighbourhoods - quiet, leafy and right by the lake. There's a convenience store within walking distance, along with a local playground and a lakefront reserve. A short five-minute drive brings you to takeaway shops and a large supermarket, as well as attractions like the Agrodome, Zorb, Skyline's gondola and luge, and Rotorua Canopy Tours. The lakefront, Government Gardens and the hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa are around eleven minutes by car, with Te Puia's geysers about thirteen and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest around seventeen.



Getting Around:

Having a car is recommended to make the most of your stay. The house is about a ten-minute walk from a bus stop with services into the city centre roughly every half hour (around $2 per trip, cash on the bus). By car, Skyline, Zorb and Canopy Tours are all six to seven minutes away, Polynesian Spa and the lakefront about eleven, Te Puia thirteen, the Redwoods seventeen, and Rotorua Airport about twenty-two. There's off-street parking in the double internal-access garage and on the driveway.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI runs at around 250 Mbps. The property has fantastic lake views, but please note there is no direct lake access from the house - the land between the property and the lake belongs to the neighbours. The property is not fully fenced and is close to the lake, so it is not safe for toddlers without continuous adult supervision, and there are no stair guards at the house. The home is down a steep, shared driveway and has two internal sets of stairs, so it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, and not accessible for a motorhome or other heavy vehicle.

We loved how much room there was in this home for our family of 5. The windows out to the lake makes everything so open. The beds were comfy, too! And we were able to cook a great steak dinner in their fully stocked kitchen.

Great location with a beautiful view.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was kind of clean, not really dirty but some cobwebs and the patio had not been swept for a while. But the rest of the place was wonderful. Great location with a beautiful view. Lots of amenities very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location

This was a beautiful spot for us - this time for taking part in the Tarawera Ultra, the location was less than 10 minutes out of town, so away from the hustle and bustle but an easy drive in. There was plenty of space for us to be together or have our own living quarters, the area was wonderfully quiet and the property clean with super comfortable beds and all the facilities we needed. Our host communicaton was very easy and prompt, we're already talking about coming back with our families!

A really lovely home in Roturua, with nice views of the lake. Our boys each had their own rooms, which they loved. Each room was separately cooled/heated. Everything was very tastefully decorated and clean. WE had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our short stay in this property. You need a car to get around as the driveway to the house is very steep. Also this 3 story home will require some heavy lifting of baggage up the stairs. Once there everything is well provided and very comfortable.
