About this house rental


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 2 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+

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! if its '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 afterhours and school holidays. There's a big playground also not far away at Boyes Beach and the beaches are just a short walk away

Cancellations: Deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE, at the owners sole discretion. (apart from covid restrictions as at the beginning of this description)


NO SMOKING THANKS.
Pets allowed on discussion with owner
If you use the BBQ, please CLEAN it. This is provided as is where is - it was a toss up whether to even provide one after guests have not left it so clean. If in the unlikely event the gas bottle becomes empty please get a replacement keep receipt and send it to me and I will refund the cost.


The house is on 3 levels with access between levels via spiral stairs. Access to living area from driveway also via exterior deck stairs. This set-up may make the house unsuitable for some people.

* ** For Covid cancellation due to lockdown and unable to travel full refund will be given.

Warm and welcoming hosts; unique, quaint property; lots of beds to sleep people; a beautiful lake to enjoy; close to Rotorua; a reasonable price - this really fit the bill for our family, attending a summer wedding. We really appreciated this rustic and affordable home way from home.

My kids called this the Harry Potter house as it's so quirky and cute. Property Manager was excellent. House sleeps heaps of people at a good rate, which helps out those who are on a budget. The fire kept us nice and warm. Heaps of room to sit together and eat dinner/play games. Well appointed kitchen. Two bathrooms. Close to redwoods. Walk to lake. Was super happy with this budget friendly bach. Thanks heaps
