About this property

Lake House and Studio - Lake Rotoiti Holiday Home

Nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Rotoiti, this spacious lakefront retreat combines the best of relaxed Kiwi bach living with all the comforts needed for an unforgettable getaway. Set in secluded and sheltered Te Weta Bay, the property offers direct access to the water, stunning lake views, and room for families and friends to spread out and unwind.

Featuring two separate dwellings connected by a boardwalk, the Lake House & Studio comfortably accommodates extended families, multiple generations, or groups travelling together. Enjoy the convenience of gathering in spacious shared living areas while still having your own space to retreat and relax.

The main house opens onto an expansive deck overlooking the bush and lake, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, long summer lunches, and evenings watching the sun disappear behind the hills. The separate studio offers its own living space and kitchenette, creating an ideal retreat for grandparents, couples, or teenagers seeking a little independence.

Life revolves around the water here. Launch your boat from the private all-weather boat ramp, tie up at the jetty, or spend the day exploring the lake's hidden bays and fishing spots, or the boat only access Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools. The property also includes a boatshed, and the use of kayaks, making it easy to enjoy everything Lake Rotoiti has to offer.

When you're ready to explore beyond the lake, Okere Falls is a short five minute drive (or a 30 minute walk away). Discover the iconic Okere Falls store (the local hub for coffee, craft beer and post-adventure refuelling), native bush walks, the famous Kaituna River rapids, rafting the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall or the Zipline for the more adventurous, and renowned trout fishing. Rotorua's attractions, restaurants, and cultural experiences are only a 20 minute drive away.

Whether you're planning a summer boating escape, a retreat beside the fire, or a family gathering in one of New Zealand's most beautiful lakefront settings, Lake House & Studio delivers the quintessential Lake Rotoiti experience.
