About this property

Manu Waiata - Otautu Bay, Lake Rotoehu

Enjoy the quiet location of this Otautu Bay holiday home. Approx 30 minutes (38 Km) from the outskirts of Rotorua and 45 mins from Whakatane. Relax and enjoy the tranquillity at the house or launch the boat on to the lake and enjoy the trout fishing or water sports. The house has everything you could need for that getaway break. Timber features throughout the house. Large covered deck area with a huge table to make the most of the outdoor dining. We have two kayaks and a paddle board available for use, with a selection of life jackets also available. There is a pontoon on the lake for swimming. The back section is fully fenced so suitable for younger children & dogs. Wake up to the morning birdsong. The quietness of this location is amazing. Firewood provided for those winter nights.

Special conditions:
*Please note there is no internet/wifi/cellphone coverage at the bach and only limited coverage on the lake side* There is, however, a landline available for local calls. The bach does not have a full size oven or hob. We have a benchtop oven (which is big enough to roast a chicken), a microwave and a two hob hotplate which sits on the bench. The BBQ has a hood and can also be used for roasting.
We are unable to accept bookings less than 5 days before date of stay.

Our lake can be prone to algal blooms during the summer months. You can check on lawa.org.nz. Search for Otautu Bay

The house is South Facing and does not get much sun in the winter. It can have a tendancy to feel damp in the winter until the fireplace gets roaring.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets)

Great spot

Great spot for a quiet stay. Would have liked a bit more access around the lake but the property was awesome.

Awesome place to stay!

Great little bach, had everything we needed. We all enjoyed a weekend of kayaking the lake and relaxing. Comfy beds, cozy fire (got a bit hot lighting the fire in March but the boys loved it), cool kitchen, quiet and peaceful. The only complaint is we never found the darts for the dart board. Thanks Chris, we'll definitely be back.

Peaceful spot

We loved our time here! Fenced section for dog not as big as we had thought but didn’t hugely matter because we got out for so many walks and spent time at the beautiful lakeside. Would happily stay again!
