## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Motuoapa Studio - Motuoapa Holiday Unit

Park the boat, unpack the goodies from the chilly bin, and pull up a chair on the deck. You’re on holiday and Motuoapa Studio has nothing but relaxation in store!   
  
Once a motel unit, this one-bedroom plus studio property has been lovingly converted into an ideal holiday home for a family escape to the lake.   
  
The open-plan living space is filled with natural light thanks to near floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that offer seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the north facing deck.   
  
A well-equipped kitchen here ensures you can prepare tasty meals to fuel the family for your adventures, and a TV with Freeview is on hand for your entertainment when you’re not out exploring.   
  
Fire up the BBQ on the shared alfresco dining patio and raise a glass to being on holiday. The kids will love playing on the playground within the complex, and you may even find some friends among fellow holiday makers!   
  
When it comes time to venture out, lace up your shoes and check out the bush walk right behind the property. Or why not take the boat down to the new Motuoapa Marina and launch for a day on the lake!   
  
Your morning coffee fix is waiting for you just across the road at Licorice Café, or you can pop into Turangi in just eight minutes to pick up everything you might need, and a bite to eat out.   
  
This is a fabulous and fuss-free holiday option only 40 minutes from the ski-fields, 15 minutes from the Tokaanu Thermal Pools, and only a short drive from the world-renowned fly-fishing at the Tongariro and Tauranga-Taupo rivers.   
  
Escape from it all here at Motuoapa Studio!   
This property is part of what was once a motel where all units have now been converted to privately owned holiday homes. The lawn, BBQ patio, and children's playground are shared areas, and adjoining units may be occupied during your stay.There is a trampoline in the children's playground but as there are no safety mats, all guests should take care if using this and only allow one person on the trampoline at a time.This property is situated adjacent to State Highway 1 in a 60km/h area. Traffic noise is to be expected.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
