Tiny Home Getaway - a lake retreat
NOTE: If dates are blocked, don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we can unblock them if possible for your stay. Due to new regulations by Rotorua Council, we can only open dates up to 60 nights.
Enjoy a cosy getaway in our converted containers. Set amongst mature native trees, the birdlife is gorgeous to listen to.
Fully lined and insulated with modern features. A 50 min drive from Tauranga and only 20 min from Rotorua city.
The 1000sqm section has plenty of room for boat parking and is only 180m from the boat ramp. There are great forest walks in the vicinity.
After a day out, enjoy an evening relaxing by the chiminea with a drink and toasting marshmallows while gazing at the stars.
As this is our holiday home, it is very well set up and comfortable. It is cozy in winter, and in summer, you can spread out on the large section, which is large enough to park and turn boats around on. The large deck gets sun almost all day, so lovely to relax on in the outdoor beanbags.
A barbeque is provided for cooking outside if you wish. Indoors there is an oven, double hotplate, electric frying pan, and crockpot.
If you have a boat, you are directly across from Honeymoon and Champagne Bay and a short ride to the hot pools. It's a great ride to Okere Falls Store for lunch, also. The boat ramp provides ample parking. If you don't have a boat, you can swim from the beach or treat yourself at Hells Gate thermal pools.
Golf lovers, the Hinehopu Golf Club is only 5km away.
3 kayaks are provided for your use.
Bedroom 1: Within the main container, super cosy and with a wardrobe.
Bedroom 2: External access but 5 steps from the main container. Coffee-making facilities mean you can wake up and enjoy a cuppa in bed. This room also has its own couch to relax in your own space.
EXTRA GUESTS: If you want to book 1-2 extra guests, please let us know the circumstances when enquiring. We are happy to be flexible where possible. Over summer, we are happy to negotiate for a campervan or tent on site.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Winstanley
My husband and I live in Papamoa and this is our lake retreat. We built this ourselves through the transformation of shipping containers.
Why they chose this property
We love the peacefulness of this location, listening and watching the tuis, wood pigeons and other birds in the mature trees surrounding our property. It feels so secluded yet is only a short 20min drive into the city centre of Rotorua.
What makes this property unique
Not often do you get to stay in a true 'tiny home', that at the same time feels spacious with all the amenities you could want to live comfortably. The large section is perfect for tents, campervans and boats. It is a lovely safe neighbourhood with friendly neighbours.
