Davids rustic cabin is a fantastic spot. Take two lefts and you’re at the lake, perfect for kids to play around. The cabin itself is so cozy, spacious, it’s all there. Thanks for the stay

Wholesome weekend

We had a wonderful stay on this property. It was warm, cosy, spacious and wonderfully equipped for our family. The kids enjoyed time lakeside, alongside some great food at Okere Falls store. Highly recommend, we will be back! Easy staycation option from Tauranga.

Lockwood at Okere

Nice we remote spot, hidden away. The owner met us on arrival and it was fantastic to hear that they had put the fire on earlier in the day for us as we arrived later than we expected, it was going to be a cool night.

Cosy kayaking base

Wanted a comfortable convenient bach for a group of friends on a kayaking orientated long weekend. This place was perfect especially as we could launch our boats at the cul-de-sac, after a short portage. Also good for our family style cooking, plus plenty of safe parking, and storage of bikes.
