About this property

Country Comfort at Hamurana is hugely popular with the farm animals onsite

Escape to this unique and serene streamside haven which is enveloped in nature’s seclusion near Lake Rotorua. This property also features on my 2 Lakes Holiday Rental site if your preference is to deal directly without fees. Here you can enjoy carefree, contemporary living away from the noise of the city with birdsong by day, the flurry of ducks at sunset and dark, peaceful nights.
With room to accommodate 12 guests, the substantial 400m2 home is gorgeous, warm, and inviting with a fabulous feel and central heating to keep you warm. The home also has 2 large wood burner fireplaces for extra heating and atmosphere. In the heat of summer, you can keep cool with the aircon situated in the living/kitchen/dining area! The house is set on one easy family-friendly level with 6 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 4 toilets located in two separate wings with the living area in the centre. Linen is supplied and you will have been charged for this.

The gourmet kitchen is fitted with modern, upmarket conveniences and the family room and dining area opens to a sun-filled patio.
There’s a separate TV lounge, (Netflix can also be accessed on the large TV) and the massive garage has been set up as a gym and a games room complete with a full-sized billiard table, ping pong, exercycle walker, TV, and just perfect for rainy day fun with a new log-burner to keep you warm in winter.

When you feel like venturing out, there are so many activities to experience in this popular lakeside neighborhood with a jetty and boat ramp nearby. Paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating on Lake Rotorua, fishing (with a license), or perhaps enjoying a leisurely round of golf at the 9-hole golf course. There’s also plenty of scenic waterfront walking.

The owners have added all kinds of extras to the property including a security access gate, upgraded central heating, a new heat pump, 2 new fireplaces for ambiance, a full-sized billiard table and ping pong, spa pool, and even a massage chair, it just goes on with this owner's wish to make your experience the best! Not to mention the Al paca's, kune kune pig, and chooks. The owner is likely to give you some fresh farm eggs!
There are 2 separate gazebo areas on either side of the house, so you can choose a suitable exterior entertaining area depending on the wind direction.

This idyllic escape is not far off the beaten track, being just a 20-minute drive from Rotorua CBD, 20 minutes from the spectacular Okere Falls, close to tourist attractions, and 45 minutes to Mt Maunganui beach.

No dogs or pets, please

We couldn't have been happier with our stay in Hamurana. The house is huge, well laid out and the amenities are broad and well set up for entertaining, indoors and outside. The massage chair being particular popular with our group. The kitchen has ample equipment and very easy to create a 3 course meal in, while keeping the social atmosphere for the chef. With a central location in the middle of the country, many more of our friend group could join in. We all agreed we would be back.

Not what we expected

We enjoyed the spa and pool/table tennis, but everything was quite old: the “gym” equipment wasn’t working when I tried to get on the cross trainer - it didn’t have batteries and wasn’t plugged in so I couldn’t choose workouts etc.What really made it quite tough to stay here is that the home had a mould-y smell overall and one of the bedrooms we were going to use had wet carpet near the window and the room smelled very strongly of mould! Because we couldn’t use that one bedroom, 4 of us (2 adults and our 8 yo and 4 yo) had to cram into one room with a queen bed, and my husband had to move a mattress onto the floor, which was quite uncomfortable for him! Not what we expected or looked forward to for the price we paid for this property per night. I wouldn’t stay here again, and wouldn’t recommend to anyone either. It was sadly, quite an un-enjoyable and un-fulfilling experience, and we couldn’t wait to leave this place.What really made it quite tough to stay here is that the home had a mould-y smell overall and one of the bedrooms we were going to use had wet carpet near the window and the room smelled very strongly of mould! We had to cram into one room and my husband had to move a mattress only the floor so our 2 kids and us were squished into one space, not what we looked forward to for the price we paid for this property per night.

Fantastic place for a big group!

This is an amazing place to stay! We had a large family group of 4 generations from 5 months to 78 years old and we all had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. The whole place was well stocked for large family groups. The outdoor area was amazing with lots of seating for everyone. We had no complaints at all and were sad to leave after our week there. Highly recommended for any trip to the Rotorua area!

An Amazing Choice for Families with Kids

The location was perfect for my group of 3 families with all kids under the age of 6. The space offered for the kids was ideal, with farm animals in close proximity to the lodging. We did not once need to reach out to the house owners during our trip as everything was in order, thought out and working well!

Family weekend

This is a beautiful property in a wonderful location but the cleanliness of the kitchen dining area in particular was not up to standard. Apart from a rat having been resident before we were there with very visual evidence and very bad stench of rat urine there has also been mice evidence in cupboards and cutlery draw. I doubt any of these drawers and cupboards have been cleaned in a long time. I did contact the property manager and he did come back to me but I didn’t consider his reply satisfactory. I paid top dollar to rent this property and definitely expected the conditions to be top notch.
