About this property

Country Comfort at Hamurana is hugely popular with the farm animals onsite

Escape to this unique and serene streamside haven which is enveloped in nature’s seclusion near Lake Rotorua. This property also features on my 2 Lakes Holiday Rental site if your preference is to deal directly without fees. Here you can enjoy carefree, contemporary living away from the noise of the city with birdsong by day, the flurry of ducks at sunset and dark, peaceful nights.
With room to accommodate 12 guests, the substantial 400m2 home is gorgeous, warm, and inviting with a fabulous feel and central heating to keep you warm. The home also has 2 large wood burner fireplaces for extra heating and atmosphere. In the heat of summer, you can keep cool with the aircon situated in the living/kitchen/dining area! The house is set on one easy family-friendly level with 6 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 4 toilets located in two separate wings with the living area in the centre. Linen is supplied and you will have been charged for this.

The gourmet kitchen is fitted with modern, upmarket conveniences and the family room and dining area opens to a sun-filled patio.
There’s a separate TV lounge, (Netflix can also be accessed on the large TV) and the massive garage has been set up as a gym and a games room complete with a full-sized billiard table, ping pong, exercycle walker, TV, and just perfect for rainy day fun with a new log-burner to keep you warm in winter.

When you feel like venturing out, there are so many activities to experience in this popular lakeside neighborhood with a jetty and boat ramp nearby. Paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating on Lake Rotorua, fishing (with a license), or perhaps enjoying a leisurely round of golf at the 9-hole golf course. There’s also plenty of scenic waterfront walking.

The owners have added all kinds of extras to the property including a security access gate, upgraded central heating, a new heat pump, 2 new fireplaces for ambiance, a full-sized billiard table and ping pong, spa pool, and even a massage chair, it just goes on with this owner's wish to make your experience the best! Not to mention the Al paca's, kune kune pig, and chooks. The owner is likely to give you some fresh farm eggs!
There are 2 separate gazebo areas on either side of the house, so you can choose a suitable exterior entertaining area depending on the wind direction.

This idyllic escape is not far off the beaten track, being just a 20-minute drive from Rotorua CBD, 20 minutes from the spectacular Okere Falls, close to tourist attractions, and 45 minutes to Mt Maunganui beach.

Fantastic Property

We loved the house, well appointed with great amenities, it is everything we expected based on the advertising. This was the perfect base for the six of us to explore the Rotorua region or just stay home and enjoy relaxing in this beautiful home.

Lovely property

Had a great stay in Hamurama - huge house to comfortably fit our family. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and more. The garden and spring was gorgeous and the kids loved the alpacas and the ping-pong table. Would highly recommend, thanks again.

Fantastic place for a big group!

This is an amazing place to stay! We had a large family group of 4 generations from 5 months to 78 years old and we all had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. The whole place was well stocked for large family groups. The outdoor area was amazing with lots of seating for everyone. We had no complaints at all and were sad to leave after our week there. Highly recommended for any trip to the Rotorua area!

An Amazing Choice for Families with Kids

The location was perfect for my group of 3 families with all kids under the age of 6. The space offered for the kids was ideal, with farm animals in close proximity to the lodging. We did not once need to reach out to the house owners during our trip as everything was in order, thought out and working well!

Family weekend

This is a beautiful property in a wonderful location but the cleanliness of the kitchen dining area in particular was not up to standard. Apart from a rat having been resident before we were there with very visual evidence and very bad stench of rat urine there has also been mice evidence in cupboards and cutlery draw. I doubt any of these drawers and cupboards have been cleaned in a long time. I did contact the property manager and he did come back to me but I didn’t consider his reply satisfactory. I paid top dollar to rent this property and definitely expected the conditions to be top notch.

Beautiful oasis

We had such an awesome new year at this house they have thought of everything to make your holiday. Perfect for large groups. My niece loved feeding all the animals each day! Plenty of entertainment for all ages and relaxing spaces. Complimentary eggs each day was an added bonus! The only negative for us was the dirty spa pool. But would 100% recommend this house

Great Stay

We were a group of 12 extended family on holiday, 8 adults and 2 kids, the house was great for us all, and exceeded all our expectations! The pool table, spa pool and table tennis was great for the kids and adults alike, we all had really comfy beds, plenty of space in the bedrooms and space to cook and eat in the kitchen diner, as well as some nice places to chill, the outside patio was a lovely oasis to sit and relax! I would highly reccomend this house to anyone!

Joy filled fun days at Hamurana

Our family of 12, spanning 3 generations from 10-70 years spent an amazing 5 days at Hamurana. It was very spacious allowing us all to find our own space. It has everything you might require when on holiday. The huge games room was very popular, as was the closeness of Lake Rotorua which we enjoyed kayaking on and was within walking distance from the home. The manager and housekeeper were great to communicate with and nothing was a problem. Other amenities
