About this property
Jandals & Joy Lakefront Retreat
Summary:
Lakeside living at its best! Jandals & Joy Lakefront Retreat, a 3 bedroom modern fully equipped home.
The outdoor area is all complete with a private beach, trampoline, 10 seater heated spa pool (glorious in winter), and fire pit- perfect for roasting marshmellows.
The Space:
Perfectly positioned to face the lake, the 3 bedroom home exudes a fresh charm thanks to the high ceilings and spectacular lake views which can be fully appreciated from the living area, and the master bedroom.
Scenic walks and the cycleway are through a gate or you might prefer to try your luck at one of the nearby world-class fishing spots.
Stroll down to the sandy shore where you can make sandcastles, swim or kayak (x 2) or standup paddle board (x2).
An outdoor deck area invites summer living and afternoon barbeques.
A massive entertainers SPA pool is heaps of fun, regardless of the season!
A single car internal garage is available for secure parking if needed. (Smaller cars only)
Ngongotaha is a town on the western shores of Lake Rotorua in New Zealand's North Island.
Ngongotaha is perfectly positioned 10 mins from Rotorua township and a few mins drive from Skyline Luge, Zorb and all the Rotorua attractions.
Guest Access:
Guests are welcome to use everything in the home including the 2 kayaks and 2 stand up paddle board .
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay including basic breakfast food and a nespresso coffee machine.
