The Neighborhood:
Lake Ōkareka is a lovely, quiet lakeside neighbourhood - one of Rotorua's prettiest small lakes, great for swimming, fishing and getting out on the water. It's a peaceful, mostly-residential spot that feels a world away, yet is only a short drive from town. Blue Lake (Tikitapu) is about 4 minutes away and the Redwoods around 13, with central Rotorua and its restaurants and attractions roughly 17 minutes.
Getting Around:
We recommend having your own vehicle out here, with free parking on-site (shared with the main house). By car, Blue Lake is about 4 minutes away, the Redwoods around 13, and central Rotorua, the airport and Polynesian Spa roughly 17 to 19 minutes.
Other Things to Note:
A few things to know: this is a cosy, multi-level boatshed apartment with a relaxed bach feel, rather than a large house - part of its charm. The second-floor queen bed sits in the lounge and can be screened off with a pull-down privacy screen, and the A-frame loft bedroom has reduced headroom on one side because of the sloping roof. The driveway and parking are shared with the main house next door.
