Waterfront Escape | Lake Okareka Waterfront Living
Summary:
Enjoy all that a Waterfront holiday home at Lake Okareka can offer, perfect for large families wanting a private lawn to lake aspect. The living area opens onto a huge deck which is great for firing up the weber BBQ, relaxing and looking out over the lake. This property also neighbours a special wetlands boardwalk, so there's a heap of activities right on the doorstep. Private Jetty however please note that sudden drops in lake levels can limit larger boats.
The Space:
Waterfront Escape is a spacious 5-bedroom house offering stunning lake views. The open-plan living area downstairs features a full kitchen, lounge, and dining area that opens onto a large deck, perfect for entertaining. A second lounge area provides a cozy retreat and can be closed off for privacy. The ground floor also includes three bedrooms (one with an ensuite), a main bathroom, laundry facilities, and a double garage.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom and a private deck with lake views. A fifth bedroom offers two single beds and two trundle beds for additional guests. The property features a front deck leading to the lawn and a private jetty for lake access. Boat launching is available nearby. Note: this is a well-loved home and has some signs of wear and tear, adding to its relaxed charm.
Guest Access:
You'll have access to the entire house, including the five bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces like the garden, patio, and BBQ area. Enjoy amenities such as air conditioning, a fireplace, and lake views. Please note that one bedroom unit is available for separate rental.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the tranquil lakeside community of Lake Ōkareka, our holiday home offers a serene escape just a short 15-minute drive from the heart of Rotorua. The pristine waters of Lake Ōkareka are perfect for fishing, swimming, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this stunning location, while still being close to the vibrant attractions and dining options of Rotorua.
Getting Around:
For those arriving by car, Waterfront Escape offers free parking on the premises and free street parking. The property is located at Lake Ōkareka so please note that public transport options are limited. Taxis are available, but can be expensive. The nearest major transit hub or airport, Rotorua Airport (ROT), is approximately a 20-minute drive away. Driving directions are available upon request.
