Why they chose this property
Lake Ōkāreka is one of Rotorua’s hidden gems – a peaceful lakeside community surrounded by native bush and birdlife. It feels wonderfully secluded, yet it’s only a short drive from Rotorua’s geothermal attractions, mountain biking trails, and vibrant dining scene. What I enjoy most is the balance: quiet mornings watching the sunrise over the water, evenings with stunning sunsets, and the sense of being immersed in nature while still close to everything.
What makes this property unique
Perched high above the lake, this private retreat offers sweeping views over the stunning Lake Ōkāreka. Watch next-level sunrises and sunsets from the spacious deck – the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine.
The outdoor living area is a dream: a full kitchen with bar, loungers, a spa pool, and a private path leading down to the lake. Guests are also welcome to pick fresh herbs and vegetables from the garden.
The steep driveway leads to plenty of parking at the top, giving you peace, privacy, and those breathtaking views.
