We enjoyed a 2 night stay here so we could attend a wedding 2 mins down the road at the Black Barn. Perfect location, we enjoyed a quick trip into Rotorua the morning of the wedding (20mins e/w). The views were magnificent, spacious rooms, well equiped kitchen and amenities. We would happily stay here again. Communication great with excellent details. Check in time/out was no problem for us.

Stunning view and great indoor/putdoor flow
Perfect spot for us. The weather was devine so we made good use of the spacious deck, BBQ and outdoor furniture, enjoyed the lake-views listened to the chatter and song of bellbirds and tuiEasy walk or cycle to the lake. Everything you might need in the kitchen, plenty of space.The BBQ needed a good clean, but was soon done by us.

Relaxing lake stay
Our two week stay for a family of four at Lake Tarawera was fantastic! The deck lake view is absolutely stunning, and the setting is peaceful. We spent time at the lake taking a dip or lounging on the deck. The house has plenty of space, perfect for family time or finding a quiet spot to relax. The giant deck is a highlight, offering a great place to take in the surroundings. Would definitely recommend it! You need a car to get to Rotoura etc. we enjoyed walking to various lake swim spots for exercise and scenery.

Tarawera Stay
A lovely spot to have a holiday. Its driveway is a bit tricky to get back onto road as its on a bend in the road. Also recommend that people staying here bring basics. There was no milk or plain tea supplied. Had to go back into town to get these items. Other than that it was really comfortable. View was lovely.

Wonderful place to stay if visiting Rotorua. It gets you out of the suphulorus small of Rotorura and into clean mountain/lake air. The view of the volcano and lake is stunning. The deck is a great luxury and the place is very well appointed for a relaxing stay.

About the host

Why they chose this property

When we go to the lake, all of our everyday stress falls away. Tarawera reminds us life is beautiful. It's a place filled with fond memories, shared with people who matter to us.

Walk around the lake or go for a swim. Mountain biking at Redwoods is world class - you can start on Tarawera Rd at the new Tawa carpark. Rotorua town centre is about 20 mins away - close enough for day visits and far enough to feel you are back amongst tress and birds.

What makes this property unique

Excellent place to relax and unwind with family and friends.
