About this house rental
Great holiday home close to Solitaire Lodge, looking out across the Otumutu Lagoon, with steps down to the lake where there is a wholly owned jetty and half share in a boat shed. This property also features on my 2 Lakes Holiday Rental site if your preference is to deal directly without fees. Speak to Norman if you are looking for a 2 year rental at this property. This area in the lagoon is sheltered from all winds so you can rest easy knowing your boat is safe and secure, and even sheltered if parked in the boat shed. The bay has a launching area at Bay View Road.
The house is comfortable and well set up with 3 bedrooms to suit 6 adults, and 2 kids. The upstairs bedroom has a double bed, another room has 2 singles, and a room with a queen and a 2 kids bunk beds. A single bathroom and one toilet. The house faces north so gets good sun onto the deck that looks out over the bay and an outstanding view of the Otumutu Lagoon. There are 2 kayaks and various sized lifejackets available for guests use.
Heating is via a large new heat pump recently installed.
A must do is the "Queens chain" or is the Kings chain walk now, around to the main part of the lake. You can join this from the boat shed (head towards Solitaire lodge) The sandy swimming beach in Te Karamea Bay is where you go for a dip!
If you are planning a trip into the city, about a 20 minute drive, Eat Street in Tutanekai St central city runs a food market on Thursday nights with all sorts of ethnic foods available and definitely worth a visit. There is also a Farmers Market at Kuirau Park on Saturday mornings running until midday offering all kinds of fresh produce including meats, seafood, vegetables and ethnic cooked foods!
If looking for a movie there are 2 theatres in Rotorua, Reading Cinemas, and The Basement Cinema….this one also has a cafe and a climbing wall. It’s a quaint little picture theatre with 2 cinemas running each holding around 20 patrons. Both have their programs online
The local Golf Clubs are Arikikapakapa about 1.5ks from you, Springfield about 3ks, and Lakeview about 10ks. All are of a good standard.
NOTE: THIS IS A BRING YOUR OWN LINEN PROPERTY AND WE DO INSIST THAT GUESTS BYO SHEETS, PILLOWCASES, TOWELS AND TEA TOWELS THANKS.
There is some room on the property for boat trailers.

Beautifully situated on the lake edge, surrounded by beautiful trees, with an easy walk down a lovely track to the jetty below. Access to kayaks and lifejackets just made the experience all the more special, being able to get out onto the water. The home was warm and easy to be in, with fantastic windows to take in those wonderful views. So grateful for everything shared with us – it just made our stay so memorable. We had a beautiful and peaceful stay. Thank you very much.

Beautiful view from the living area, quiet with lots of places to explore on the drive from Rotorua. Easy walk down to the lake. Good WiFi connection. No TV though. There was an information sheet explaining that the water needed to be boiled as it is spring fed, it would be helpful if this was displayed on the wall near the sink.
