About this property

CEDARVIEW (ONE OF TARAWERA'S MOST POPULAR PROPERTIES!)

If you are looking for peace, privacy and tranquility, this is it. Cedarview faces east and gets the morning sun to fill the house and living area with light and warmth. The large deck is surrounded by safety glass and commanding views over the lake and Mount Tarawera. By the way you can also find this property on my 2 lakes site and it would be worth your while checking this out!
Open up the large folding doors onto the deck and you have the indoor outdoor flow. The house is cool during the day and warm at night especially in the upper bedrooms. There are beds for 9 plus a couch.
In today's information age, it's important to be in touch. Cedarview has complimentary WiFi for all. The HD movie theatre room downstairs will keep movie buffs entertained for hours or the kids happy when you are entertaining on the deck. There is Freeview TV and blu-ray player for sitting on the leather couches and relaxing. For the more adventurous, there are several access points along the road to walk down to the lake. There is a road-front boat pad, which will take large boats and they can be launched at Stoney Point.
If you want to explore, a short drive will take you to the Blue Lake or Whakarewarewa Forest (The Redwood forest), for some amazing mountain biking or walking trails. It's a 20 minute drive into Rotorua with a huge variety of pursuits. Cedarview has a well-equipped kitchen, a high chair for toddlers, and a porta-cot . There are beds for 9, and being a large house there is plenty of room for more. Sunny all year around, quality leather couches, and with fire box (wood supplied). Good in and out driveway access and an area to park a boat.
There is a walking lake access way, which is 100m back towards town on the left -hand side. It's down a driveway slightly but takes you straight to the lake.
The boat parking and launching is at Stoney Point Reserve, approx 1.0 km back towards town on Spencer Road.

It's a lovely location with stunning views out from Rotorua - well featured property - property manager was accommodating. We love the location as a little bit of hike in to Rotorua but away from hustle and bustle.

Great stay for my wedding weekend

Booked the home for my family to stay for my wedding weekend. Was a great place close to the venue (Black Barn) and more then enough space for my family and groomsman to stay the night before and night of the wedding. Nice clean house with everything you need to have a great stay. Will be booking again for a more relaxed stay next time!

Probably the best house we have ever stayed in at the lake. Fully equipped with everything a family needs. Pity about the constant rain on this trip but we would definitely like to come back and stay here again in the Summer.
