Surrounding us are lovely lakes, inviting you to perhaps partake in the excitement of reeling in some of the vibrant trout that practically jump into your hands!
Enjoy soaking in the world famous Kerosene Creek, or unwind in the soothing warm spring waters of nearby Waikite Hot Springs a mere 20mins away. Then dinner and a drink at Waiotapu Tavern (awesome burgers!!).

Our cozy 30sqm cabin boasts a kitchenette featuring a mini fridge, double electric hot plate, electric frypan, microwave, expresso machine, kettle and toaster.
Lots of safe parking, plenty of room for a boat!
For outdoor enthusiasts, we're an excellent hub for cycling and hiking escapades along the Te Ara Ahi Cycle Trail, Rainbow Mountain, Whirinaki Forest, and Rotorua's renowned Redwoods and fishing enthusiasts will find joy just moments away at Lake Rerewhakaaitu!

Such a cosy and welcoming place! The host is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. The nearby lake is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a swim. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

We stayed there for five days with our two dogs. The whole place is so wonderfully geared towards dogs. They had so much fun in Emma's private woods. The private grounds are also so large that they could both run around and play to their hearts' content. Perfect for dogs, but also a wonderful place to unwind for those who don't have pets.

We were very happy here.It was the most peaceful place we have stayed and had everything we needed to have a good rest. Particularly loved that it was NOT fragranced throughout and that it did NOT have TV or wifi. This was a bonus for us. We plan to come again and stay longer because this kind of restful retreat is rare to find.

Our stay

It was lovely and clean and comfy bed and lovely and accommodating host. It would've been a plus if there was a tv although not a major as you dont go away to watch tv... a sofa to sit at rather than on the bed would've been better too.
