We had a very good stay at this property. My wife and I arrived there to glorious sunshine and we were very happy with the views the property gave us of the lake in full sunshine.The property was very comfortable and very well appointed with plenty of room for the four members of our party. Views were stunning , even when raining on the last day of our stay. While I would recommend the property for anyone going to this area, do be aware that the 54 stairs to the living area can be quite challenging.

Lake Okareka Getaway

The property has everything that you need to enjoy a weekend away (or a week). It has amazing views to enjoy a cuppa in the morning on the deck. Great base and close enough to Rotorua for groceries and activities and far enough away to have a tranquil spot to enjoy.

Great Spot

Brilliant spot! Be prepared to climb some stairs and there is plenty of parking for a boat but depending on size you may need to back up the steepish drive because there is not a lot of room to turn it around. Owners were awesome and very accomodating.

Outstanding location

The location was gorgeous. Great amenities and valuable folder of local information. Photos of all the kitchenware and where it should be put and numerous signage re not taking the books a bit sad. Why not have a shelf for 'book swaps' as well as 'do not take'

A beautiful, well-appointed bach

Fabulous 180-degree panoramic views - the photos just don't do it justice. 10 mins drive to Rotorua for restaurants / grocery shopping etc, so very convenient. The only thing you need to bring is a portable heater. We stayed in July and the weather was very cold, and the heat didn't travel to the two smaller rooms. There are also a lot of bach rules and instructions everywhere, so you need to be ok with that. That said, it was a very comfortable stay, hot tub under the trees with a lake view was amazing, the two larger beds are very comfortable, and heavy curtains made the rooms nice and dark. We slept so well! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bach with us :)

Charming Lake Okareka Tree House

This wonderful home is situated in a beautiful hilltop location among the trees, with stunning lake views. There are wonderful lake walks close by. The layout is wonderful for indoor/outdoor living. The house is cozy and has a well appointed kitchen that is fantastic for cooking -- stocked with everything. The furniture and decor are personal and charming. We had a wonderful trip.
