Chalet Near The Lake - Lake Okareka Sleeps 12 | House in Lake Okareka
5 Bedroom House in Lake Okareka
NOTE: This is a basic rustic holiday home - NOT 5 STAR - If you are used to 5 star accommodation please do not book it
Just a quick 4 minute walk to the lake! This large 'chalet' like home is sited on a private, peaceful section with huge trees and a lawn area for the kids to play. Not lakefront. OWNERS LIVE NEXT DOOR but leave you to your own devices/privacy
Perfect as a central meeting point for catching up with family/friends from around the North Island, or any larger group set-up, as it sleeps 12+. It is set up so you could have 4 people (small family) up stairs, meeting lounge area in the middle then (larger family/group) double room and bunk area /lounge down stairs PLUS a sleepout.
This accommodation provides the basics, in a setting of 'rustic charm'. It WOULD NOT BE SUITABLE for those groups requiring a 4-5 star hotel environment!
It is however, perfect for groups to enjoy each others company and to get away from the 'rat-race' for a peaceful break.
World class locations for Boating, Kayaking , Mountain-biking, Water-skiing, etc are literally just minutes away! The newer Tawa mountain biking carpark is about 4 minutes drive or a less than 15 minute bike ride from the house. Go out the drive - turn right and go to end of Okareka loop rd, Turn left at Tarawera rd and within 100m on the right you will see the carpark where there is a small seasonal coffee area, in a container, bike hire (smaller than Waipa) toilets showers and plenty of parking and of course access to the mountain biking tracks.
If it's 'time out' you're after, relax on the deck, or check out the many cafe/dining options available in nearby Rotorua.
In keeping with the peaceful setting, we ask that noise is kept to an absolute minimum after 10pm. We have, on occasion, been forced to use bond money for gifts to appease disgruntled neighbours!
Please provide ALL OWN LINEN, including sheets, towels and tea-towels. Duvets/Pillows/Blankets are provided.
Please leave house tidy, beds straight and furniture left where it was originally
There are rubbish and recycling bins you can use if you are there on Sunday to put at the top of the drive.
Children can play on grass beyond drive between cabin and house and there's also a playground at the back of the hall next door for after hours,
Access to the beach - go up the drive and turn left then turn left on to Steep St, walk down Steep St and at the end you will find little 'girls beach' if you walk to the end of this you can see a path through the trees. It's a quick walk through here to Boyes beach with public toilets, grass areas, shade, toilets and great children's playground. It is also accessible via Millar Rd by car. The boat ramp is further along Okareka Loop rd past calder rd then first left on to Acacia Rd and you will see it on your left.
If you go further along Acacia Rd you will come to the Okareka walk way - it's a bird sanctuary and board walk. There is now a walk right around the lake from here - it takes about 2 hours if you walk the circuit from the house.
