About this property
Green Haven Lake House - Lake Views, Games Room & Spa Pool!
Summary:
Enjoy a relaxing Lake Ōkareka getaway in this spacious, well-appointed home designed for comfort, fun, and easy group stays. With lake views, a private spa pool, indoor games, and ample off-street parking with room to park a boat, this home is ideal for families, couples, and groups looking for a peaceful Rotorua escape close to nature.
The Space:
The home is spread across three levels, giving everyone space and privacy, but this also means stairs are unavoidable, making the property best suited to guests comfortable with stairs. To add convenience, the home features three bathrooms, with one located on each level, which works particularly well for larger groups.
Thanks to the multi-level layout, the home can be comfortably enjoyed by two or even three families at the same time, allowing different groups to have their own zones while still sharing central living and entertainment spaces. This layout is ideal for extended family holidays or group getaways where privacy and shared time are equally important.
The open-plan living and dining areas are bright and welcoming, with large windows capturing the lake outlook and plenty of space to relax together. The modern kitchen is well equipped for holiday living, featuring a coffee machine, air fryer, sandwich press, double wall oven, and filtered water, making everything from quick breakfasts to shared dinners easy and enjoyable.
The home offers five comfortable bedrooms and sleeps up to 13 guests, providing a flexible setup for families or groups travelling together. The master bedroom enjoys a quiet outlook, while the remaining bedrooms are well sized and practical for longer stays or weekend escapes.
Entertainment is a standout feature. Inside, enjoy a pool table and foosball table for relaxed evenings or rainy days. Outside, the private spa pool is perfect for unwinding after lake activities or soaking under the stars. The outdoor areas also offer space for dining, lounging, and enjoying the peaceful lake environment.
Set just minutes from the water, the home is perfectly located for swimming, kayaking, fishing, walking tracks, and mountain biking. While Lake Ōkareka feels calm and secluded, Rotorua’s attractions, dining, and amenities are an easy drive away. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a group getaway, or a relaxing lakeside retreat, this Lake Ōkareka home delivers space, comfort, and a memorable stay.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive use of the entire home, including the spa pool, games area, outdoor spaces, and parking. The owners have one side of the garage locked off for their personal items. This area is not accessible to guests.
The Neighborhood:
Lake Ōkareka is one of Rotorua’s most peaceful and sought-after lake communities, known for its natural beauty, quiet surroundings, and relaxed pace. Tucked away from the bustle of town, it offers a true escape while still being conveniently close to Rotorua’s main attractions.
