About this property

Serene Lakeside Escape in Brand New Luxury House!

A large, mono pitch, fully self-contained house featuring 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 separate wash rooms, overlooking Lake Aniwhenua.

Concrete polished floors, Gourmet open plan kitchen, large native handmade dining table for 20 guests and a stand-alone fire place

This brand new house offers a higher level of accommodation for groups upwards of 20 people. With sunken fire pit and rustic out door bath tubs - this high end house provides you that international escape you're yearning for, right in your own back yard!

Enjoy the fully covered 3m deck out the front of the house, with uninterrupted panoramic views of the peaceful lake, while sipping wine, cooking the BBQ or simply relaxing and taking life in.

In the early morning hours, watch sacred mists roll across the lake. As the sun drops below the horizon in the afternoon, the skies are painted with brilliant oranges, pinks, reds and purples – an artist’s palate! A place to sit and watch the natural world go by, or indulge in a fun filled weekend getaway with friends and family.

Lake access, playground and boat ramp just 3minutes down the road, less than 40minutes away from the native rainforests, beaches and the seaside town of Whakatane 45 minutes away and the geothermal township of Rotorua just 1 hour drive.

Surrounded by lush farmlands, forests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls - trout fishing and hunting does not get any better than this! Or perhaps you want to get out on your boat, wakeboard or jetski on the beautiful lake, with little chance of bumping in to too many others.

This accommodation option is suitable for groups of friends, families or special interest groups, such as mountain bikers, hunters and fisher-people and their partners.

Your dream escape can be as relaxing or as action packed as YOU want!!
