About this property

Kiwiana Bach - Lake Tarawera Holiday Home

Featuring stunning views, lots of beds and even a hot tub - welcome to Kiwiana Bach, the perfect place for your classic kiwi holiday.

Sleeping up to 9 people, bring your family and friends to enjoy a memorable holiday by the stunning Lake Tarawera.

Perched upon the hillside, enjoy your evenings out on the deck admiring the scenery with a glass of wine in hand. Cook up a delicious meal on the barbecue and spend time with your group.

At the end of the day, you’ll find plenty of bedrooms with king, queen and single sized beds to suit everyone.

If you fancy going for a swim, you’re just a 3 minute walk from the lake’s edge and you’ll find many great fishing spots all around the lake. The home is only a half hour’s drive away from Rotorua City where you’ll find plenty of shops, cafes, supermarkets and restaurants.

Enjoy a fun-filled holiday right from Kiwiana Bach!

Kiwiana Bach

We really enjoyed our stay at Kiwiana Bach. It had a great view of Mt Tarawera and kept us warm on a chilly autumn weekend. The open fire was great and the hot outdoor spa a real treat.
