About the host
Hosted by Kerry Starling
I have been renting out my former family home at Kawaha Point for 20 years. My partner, Lora, is American and we live at Hamurana overlooking Lake Rotorua. We like travelling the world, cruising, exploring NZ in our campervan, mountain biking, live music, movies and I love all sport, particularly English football.
Why they chose this property
I had to buy my home again in a divorce settlement and I decided to rent it out to pay for it. I have loved every minute of the experience of meeting new guests from all over the world. This is particularly so when guests arrive and see the magic location in which the property is set.
What makes this property unique
Private and quiet lake edge living in a very spacious home where large groups can spread out over 2 lounge areas, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Sleeps 12 comfortably.
An additional self-contained apartment above the garage is available for larger groups for an extra $150 per night with king bed, single bed, lounge and kitchenette, additional shower and toilet.
The property is only a few minutes from the city centre and attractions, despite being extremely quiet and private..
A spa pool is located in the garden overlooking the lake and the lights of the city at night. The spa is hot and ready for guests on arrival.
There are 7 kayaks available for complimentary guest use, along with a range of life-jackets.
The property has beautiful gardens, particularly in the spring.
