About this property

Gemini Lodge Rotorua Lake side paradise

Gemini Lodge, Paradise right on waters edge of Lake Rotorua.
Launch your boat, Jet ski with either your vehicle or I can help you with our tractor or borrow (free of charge) one or two of our Kayaks and launch any of these off the front of our property.
On the waters edge of Lake Rotorua, our Chalet is the ideal getaway for a relaxing few days or some exciting rides either from the Chalet with our own jet boat or at the 4WD adventure park, Gondola and luge rides or the beautiful Kiwi and trout sanctuary all within a 5 minute drive. Or relax in our beautiful setting and have some peace and quiet, lake front walks and only 10 minute drive to the centre of Rotorua township.

Beautiful property with three holiday homes set in stunning grounds right on the lakeshore. The kids loved the gardens, basketball space, trampoline and fitness room and we loved the views and hot tubs.Only a short drive from the centre of Rotarua and the zorb and ziplining centre both of which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Impressed our overseas visitors

Lovely accomodations with lots of amenities. Only downside was lack of screening on some windows which prevented opening the windows on hot nights and not enough fans to ventilate the bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia and Joe Kouwenhoven

Host profile image
Moving to Rotorua in July 2017 was an awesome lifestyle change for our family. Having three young kids, 5, 7 and 9, a girl and two boys, it has allowed us to enjoy more outdoor activities like Mountain biking, water activities on the lakes and only a few hours to the ski fields to name just a few.
An absolute change for the better.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location.
It seems that everything is only 5 - 10 minutes from our property to virtually anything in Rotorua.

What makes this property unique

Formally Owned by famous NZ Movie star Temuera Morrison
8850 sq metres of the lakeside property with impressive Views, Grotto style pool, fountains running into the pool, pool house and entertainment area opening up on to decks that look out onto Lake Rotorua and across to Mokia Island, it is incredible!!
Paradise next to Lake Rotorua where you can launch your water toys, and boat directly off our beach
Firepit for that evening campfire feel with friends, family and kids
Peaceful surroundings that at night are stunningly and quiet and peaceful
Big open flat land that you can play on with everyone or extend that play out onto the reserve
Picnic area with amazing views all located on our property
And so much more ........
