Comfortable character home near Rotorua lakefront, fast Wifi.

Our home is located close to the Waiteti Stream and the Ngongotaha lakefront park. Access to Lake Rotorua is an easy 2 minute stroll around the corner. Our home was originally built in the 1930's and we have enjoyed refurbishing it during the time that we have been the owners, all the while being careful to maintain its charm. It features 3 bedrooms, 1 large modern bathroom as well as 2 lounge areas and a modern kitchen. Each lounge areas has separate heating with one of these being a log fireplace.

A perfect getaway

The property was exactly what we wanted—a bit outside Rotorua but still close to all the attractions and the lake. We traveled as a family of four with my mother in law and the house was perfect—we could all have our our space when we needed and also could all hang out together. Highly recommended.
