A short stroll to the lakeside reserve with it's boat ramp, swimming beach and picnic area, or a short drive to Boyes Beach (very popular with the locals!)

A 10-15 minute drive to Rotorua with all of its attractions and great places to eat out.
Great fishing on Lake Okareka or a 10 minute drive the other way will take you to Lake Tarawera, with its stunning scenery and world famous trout fishing.

Relaxed, well equipped and great location!
An extremely pleasant comfortable state, such a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Rotorua! Close enough to everything, and such a peaceful outlook over beautiful bushland.

Lake okareka was a beautiful place to stay. The house was up a hill and very close to the lake with beautiful surroundings. The downstairs unit was charming and we enjoyed our time there.
