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+. It is set up so you could have 4 people (small family) up stairs, meeting lounge area in the middle then (larger family/group) double room and bunk area /lounge down stairs PLUS a sleepout. 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! The newer Tawa mountain biking carpark is about 4 minutes drive or a less than 15 minute bike ride from the house. Go out the drive - turn right and go to end of Okareka loop rd, Turn left at Tarawera rd and within 100m on the right you will see the carpark where there is a small seasonal coffee area, in a container, bike hire (smaller than Waipa) toilets showers and plenty of parking and of course access to the mountain biking tracks. If it's '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 after hours, Access to the beach - go up the drive, to the right, and turn left on to loop Rd,then turn left on to Steep St, walk down Steep St and at the end you will find little 'girls beach' if you walk to the end of this you can see a path through the trees. It's a quick walk through here to Boyes beach with public toilets, grass areas, shade, toilets and great children's playground. It is also accessible via Millar Rd by car. The boat ramp is further along Okareka Loop rd past calder rd then first left on to Acacia Rd and you will see it on your left. If you go further along Acacia Rd you will come to the Okareka walk way - it's a bird sanctuary and board walk. There is now a walk right around the lake from here - it takes about 2 hours if you walk the circuit from the house. Cancellations: Deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE, at the owners sole discretion. (apart from covid restrictions as at the beginning of this description) NO SMOKING / Vaping THANKS. Pets discretionary depending 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Absolutely no smoking inside. ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing 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) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Composting - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,615 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48910000/48904600/48904504/3bc7d1b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Okareka Lakestay - Sleeps 8 - close to lake.

Had to bring my own towels and sheets. Also, the tumble dryer didnt work, leaving me unable to dry any washing. ##### Alison S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline P.

This place wasn’t our cup of tea, but that not to say it doesn’t suit others. Down stairs was too cold for the others to stay and the stairs were a bit tricky to navigate. If you’re looking for a cabin in the woods/camp type set up. This is for you. ##### Tamie Maree R. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rochelle A. May 1, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Accomodation needed for wedding stay Room I slept in smelt a bit musty. Stairs were a bit of a mission had my elderly mother stay on the bottom floor with double bed to make it easier only for her to trip on the small lip going into this room and fell on the floor. Everything we needed was there for what we needed. Beautiful setting. We only needed beds for couple of nights for wedding so werent at the accomodation for a lot of our stay ##### Rochelle A.
