About this property

THE TOP DECK (LONGER DISCOUNTED CORPORATE STAYS ARE WELCOME)

If you are looking for stunning views, peace, privacy and tranquillity, this is it. The Top Deck faces north and gets the morning sun to fill the house and living area with light and warmth. It may be beneficial to have a second look using my name Norman Donald and 2 lakes, as an alternative, if you get my drift here.
The decks give privacy and commanding views over the lake and city. I also have an often available Lake Tarawera waterfront Lockwood property that sleeps 11 with a new jetty.
Private driveway access for parking several cars.
Tihiotonga being the highest residential area in Rotorua, the decks provide stunning uninterrupted views over Lake Rotorua and the City.
WIFI and HD TV with Netflix room to watch your favourite movies or keep the kids entertained on those rainy days.
Large master bedroom with private deck overlooking the farmland behind.
The house is cool during the day and warm at night especially in the upper bedrooms. There is a heat transfer system in the house. There are beds for 11 including 2 European fold down single beds. Linen (Bedsheets, pillowcases, and towels) is mandatory at this property and is charged at $35 per person.
In today's information age, it's important to be in touch. The Top Deck has complimentary WiFi for all via Fibre Optic and excellent mobile phone coverage for Vodafone and Spark users. The High Def TV in the living room downstairs will keep you entertained for hours or the kids happy when you are entertaining on the deck. There is Freeview TV with Netlix and DVD Blu-ray player for sitting on the leather couches upstairs relaxing also with Netflix.
For the more adventurous, there are stunning walks through Tihiotonga Centennial Park and Arikikapakapa Reserve. If you want to explore, a short drive will take you to the Whakarewarewa Forest (The Redwood forest), for some amazing mountain biking or walking trails and the multi level treewalk which is a must at night time. It's a 10-minute drive into Rotorua with a huge variety of pursuits.
The Top Deck has a well-equipped kitchen, with new appliances. There are beds for 11, and being a large house there is plenty of room for more. Sunny all year around, quality leather couches, and with fire box (wood supplied). Good in and out driveway access.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$200.00 per stay); Linen NZ$35.00 per person.

We allow up to 2 small dogs but please discuss with the manager. $25 per dog per night.

The garage is unavailable.

LONGER TERM STAYS OF A MONTH + CAN BE ARRANGED AT WEEKLY RATES FOR ACCREDITED GUESTS. PLEASE CONTACT THE PROPERTY MANAGER DIRECTLY AT 2 LAKES HOLIDAY RENTALS.
