Tranquil Retreat with Breathtaking Lake Views: Renowed for Trout Fishing
Located just 27 minutes away from Rotorua and its exciting attractions like the Redwood Forest, Gondola Luge, bike tracks, and jet boating, this place is a paradise for nature lovers. You'll find a hot natural local pool just 5 minutes away by car or 10 minutes by boat, making it a boatie's dream.
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby fishing spots, but a fishing license is required, which can be conveniently purchased at the local petrol station. If you're up for some kayaking, there's one available for use.
The surrounding natural beauty allows you to wake up to the delightful sounds of birds. If you need to grab a bite or refuel, the nearest cafe, takeaways, and petrol station are just a short 10-minute drive away.
Please note that the 1970's caravan is a 4 berth, suitable for up to 4 people, and guests are required to use the house's bathroom, toilet, shower, and laundry facilities, located close by. It has been thoughtfully renovated with comfortable furniture, including a queen and couch that can open out to be a double bed.
Linen is provided, and smoking is not allowed inside the caravan. Sorry no dogs.

Really nice place to stay in both my partner and I found it really cozyIs limited with cooking options but made it work with the bbq table a minutes walk down the road
Nel and Pam are the best ! They even had Lego for the kids to play. The caravan was more spacious than expected and the bed very comfy. Would definitely stay here again!
We stayed for two nights with a 3.5 to and we loved it. So peaceful and serene, yet lots to do for our 3.5 yo (we are not into the screens) we spent most of the time outside. Many thanks to Pam and Nevil. We will def come back
We had a lovely stay here, the hosts are very friendly and great to chat to. We even borrowed their kayaks and they had lots of local knowledge. Would recommend!
Gorgeous location by the lake. Nev and Pam are very welcoming hosts. The caravan had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and was full of rustic charm. Excellent value for money. We are already looking forward to returning in summer.

Excellent little stay in a Fairy Graden with amazing view and made very comfortably 👌 its magical! We loved it ❤️ kayaking, paddle boarding and bush walk, cafe and take aways near by. Tranquil retreat!,amazing hosts - Recommend!
Loved staying here. Had some peaceful time on my own. Great little caravan fir a couple. Pam even turned all the fairy lights on. So pretty. Even with the Labour weekend storm with the winds thrashing the water on the lake, it was so cosy. Bathroom is inside the house but is easily accessible throughout my stay. Great walk nearby as well. Pam and Neville are great host and supplied everything you'd need for a pleasant stay.

Very friendly hosts. Great being so near the water and having the use of kayaks. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of walks to enjoy in the area. A serene and restful place which we hope to return to with such good value for money.
My dad and I had a great stay here! Pam and Neville let us borrow their kayaks, so we got to do a sunset kayak of the lake. It was beautiful. We had a great time!
