The Neighborhood:
Lake Ōkareka is one of Rotorua's quietest and most sought-after lake communities, tucked into native bush with the lake just a few hundred metres down the road. It's a beautiful spot for swimming, kayaking, fishing and stand-up paddleboarding, with a lovely loop walk around the edge, and there are tennis courts just down the road. Mt Tarawera dominates the skyline. The Whakarewarewa Forest and the Redwoods, with their world-class mountain-bike trails, are about ten minutes away, and Te Puia's geysers thirteen. Despite the peace and quiet, central Rotorua, the lakefront restaurants and the geothermal attractions are all an easy fifteen-minute drive.
Getting Around:
A car is the easiest way to get around out here. Central Rotorua and the lakefront are about fifteen minutes away, the Redwoods forest around ten, and Te Puia thirteen. Skyline's gondola and luge, Zorb and Canopy Tours are roughly twenty-three minutes over on the western side of town, and Rotorua Airport is about fifteen. There's off-street parking with room for up to three boats.
Other Things to Note:
WIFI runs at around 250 Mbps. This is a three-level home and the stairs are unavoidable across the levels - best suited to guests comfortable with stairs - though a bathroom on every floor means no queuing, even with a full house. Firewood is supplied for the wood burner, and the bathroom floors are heated.
