Furnished with an open plan kitchen, dining and living area and a gas fireplace for winter. Boardwalk and steps lead down through bush and tree ferns to a shared deep water jetty. The deck, equipped with outdoor furniture and a gas barbeque, provides stunning views across the lake to Mt Tarawera and Kariri Point. The carport at the rear of the bach provides cover for two vehicles. Native birdlife abounds, a family of quails occasionally meander over the lawn and glow worms can be seen at the bottom of the steps in the evening. The site is private and peaceful and allows for full enjoyment of all that Lake Tarawera has to offer including safe swimming, lakeside walking tracks, trout fishing, boating, mountain biking or just relaxing. Situated near the start of the Tarawera settlement it is only a scenic 20 minute drive from Rotorua city centre and a short drive to the local lakeside cafe and the Buried Village at Te Wairoa. The nearest boat ramp is a couple of minutes drive along the road, or a five minute walk along the lake front track, and is where guests can park their boat trailers. There is a landline phone at the bach but no wifi at present. There is now also reasonable cellphone coverage in the area. Tui Glen is a great place to escape to at any time of the year and is ideal for couples or small families. \*\*Extras: BYO Linen/ Towels. If not can be provided at extra cost. Please confirm beforehand.\*\* NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 step to reach entrance - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33569800/33569739/c849519a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday home at Lake Tarawera, Rotorua Lake Tarawera - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 169 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=33569739&PinnedHotelID=33569739&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/86000000/85250000/85247300/85247239/b52610ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kundaniwas | Lake Okareka Tiny House + Lake Views Lake Okareka - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=85247239&PinnedHotelID=85247239&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37960000/37956600/37956561/e35125b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Holiday Hideaway near the Lake Lake Okareka - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 252 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=37956561&PinnedHotelID=37956561&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27580000/27575600/27575552/98574ae3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pohutukawa Lake House.
