Guest Access:
You'll have the whole house to yourselves, including the double internal-access garage and the laundry - all three levels, both living areas, all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the fully-equipped kitchen and the covered deck. You'll enjoy fantastic lake views from the deck, though please note there is no direct lake access from the property - the land in front of the house belongs to the neighbours.
The Neighborhood:
Kawaha Point is one of Rotorua's loveliest neighbourhoods - quiet, leafy and right by the lake. There's a convenience store within walking distance, along with a local playground and a lakefront reserve. A short five-minute drive brings you to takeaway shops and a large supermarket, as well as attractions like the Agrodome, Zorb, Skyline's gondola and luge, and Rotorua Canopy Tours. The lakefront, Government Gardens and the hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa are around eleven minutes by car, with Te Puia's geysers about thirteen and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest around seventeen.
Getting Around:
Having a car is recommended to make the most of your stay. The house is about a ten-minute walk from a bus stop with services into the city centre roughly every half hour (around $2 per trip, cash on the bus). By car, Skyline, Zorb and Canopy Tours are all six to seven minutes away, Polynesian Spa and the lakefront about eleven, Te Puia thirteen, the Redwoods seventeen, and Rotorua Airport about twenty-two. There's off-street parking in the double internal-access garage and on the driveway.
Other Things to Note:
WIFI runs at around 250 Mbps. The property has fantastic lake views, but please note there is no direct lake access from the house - the land between the property and the lake belongs to the neighbours. The property is not fully fenced and is close to the lake, so it is not safe for toddlers without continuous adult supervision, and there are no stair guards at the house. The home is down a steep, shared driveway and has two internal sets of stairs, so it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, and not accessible for a motorhome or other heavy vehicle.

This was a great family friendly home for our family during our stay in Rotorua. Comfortable, warm and everything needed to make it feel welcoming and homely. Would definitely stay there again.
We loved how much room there was in this home for our family of 5. The windows out to the lake makes everything so open. The beds were comfy, too! And we were able to cook a great steak dinner in their fully stocked kitchen.
Lovely property, amazing view of the lake without the sulphur stench of town. Beautiful area.
Comfiest bed we had on this trip by far.
Well equipped kitchen
Great place to stay
Comfortable, clean and spacious. Driveway is very steep, just something to be aware of. Just a few minutes drive to main town center. Beautiful sunrise views over the lake.
Gorgeous views of the lake tress in the background Well set out for visitors Slight downside very steep driveway to the house minor hiccup otherwise area and house great recommendation
This was a wonderful place to stay. It was kind of clean, not really dirty but some cobwebs and the patio had not been swept for a while. But the rest of the place was wonderful. Great location with a beautiful view. Lots of amenities very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy and convinient
The kitchen area & living area is lovely! And love the fact the they have a smart tv which you can watch Netflix on. Came all the way from Malaysia and we love it!
This was a beautiful spot for us - this time for taking part in the Tarawera Ultra, the location was less than 10 minutes out of town, so away from the hustle and bustle but an easy drive in. There was plenty of space for us to be together or have our own living quarters, the area was wonderfully quiet and the property clean with super comfortable beds and all the facilities we needed. Our host communicaton was very easy and prompt, we're already talking about coming back with our families!
A really lovely home in Roturua, with nice views of the lake. Our boys each had their own rooms, which they loved. Each room was separately cooled/heated. Everything was very tastefully decorated and clean. WE had everything we needed.
Our family of 4 with 2 older children was delighted with the space and views of this place. The neighbourhood is peaceful - sleeping was easy. The house is a luxury build across 3 levels which we all enjoyed. You do need a car here. Really nice.
We enjoyed our short stay in this property. You need a car to get around as the driveway to the house is very steep. Also this 3 story home will require some heavy lifting of baggage up the stairs. Once there everything is well provided and very comfortable.
