About this property

Kaituna Cottage

Cosy refurbished cottage with stunning lake views and bush setting, conveniently located next to the Okere Falls Store and minutes walk to the falls. Large wrap around decks and french doors make the most of the views and sun. Recently refurbished and provides all modern comforts including log fire, HRV and double glazing in the bedrooms. 2 bedrooms can accommodate 2 couples or a family - master bedroom has a queen bed and the 2nd bedroom has a bunk (double underneath and single above). Linen (sheets/towels) is available for an additional $50 cost which can be added as an extra after your booking is confirmed - please just advise upon booking if you wish to add this charge. Please note there is no washing machine available at this property. Firewood provided May - October and electric heaters available all year round. Unfortunately the property isn't suitable for bringing a boat up the driveway as it is narrow, reasonably steep, and there is limited space at the top. However there is plenty of space down on the main roadside at the bottom of the driveway if you are happy to park down there, or you could park just inside the driveway on a slope, but would have to leave the car and the boat down there.

Secluded (for unexpected paradise)
We wanted to be away from tourist Rotorua, but close to thermal adventures. Okere falls is a fabulous location & a walk to famous store & beer garden. Walking to falls, we were able to see & hear rafters screaming over waterfalls - awesome! We love knowing our host's story & delighted that allowing renters works for all

Great Bach
Great property with an awesome view. The road noise was a bit loud but you got used to it quite quickly. The only downside would be that the mattresses were a bit worn (especially in the 2nd bedroom).

Great property in great location
Property is ideally located next to the white water rafting activities. Property was clean, comfortable, private and had an amazing view. The adjacent road can be heard from the property but this is a very minor drawback from everything else. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Taylor

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 from Tauranga.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I grew up in Rotorua and spent a lot of time in Okere Falls which we love. We live in Tauranga now but had the opportunity to purchase this property a few years ago, which we have renovated and now use as a bach.

What makes this property unique

Okere Falls is a wonderful community with a great Store next door for meals, coffee and drinks. Lots of wonderful walks and attractions within walking distance and access to Lake Rotoiti with hot pools and lots of great little bays to explore by boat or kayak. If you love mountain biking like we do our bach is a great place to base yourself and explore the many wonderful tracks that Rotorua has on offer.
