About this property

Te Miro Cottage - Lake Tarawera Cottage

  • Rainbow Cottage is a 2 bedroom Lake Tarawera cottage sitting on an acre of land within a gated community with direct access to the lake. This is the ideal escape for boat and fly fishing enthusiasts!

    This Lake Tarawera cottage is situated across from a permanent lakeside residence at Te Miro Point, Lake Tarawera. Rainbow Cottage catches the sun and is naturally warm in the winter, making it an ideal getaway for the keen fisherman. Wi-Fi is available too for all of your holiday snaps (please be aware that due to the remote location service can be erratic). The large Rainbow Trout in the lake are waiting for those looking to spend idyllic days on the water fishing.

    As you enter Rainbow Cottage you will find yourself in an open-plan living and dining area. The dining area leads to the cosy kitchen. There is a small bench top oven, with a gas cooker on top and a BBQ is also available. The kitchen leads onto the master bedroom which is fitted with a queen bed. Bedroom 2 is situated next to bedroom 1 and is fitted with 2 single beds. Guests can also stay in the attached Studio Bedroom with external access.

    Rainbow Cottage has direct access to Lady's Bay - a secluded sandy bay with jetty and mooring facilities. There's also kayaks and a dinghy available for your stay. Excellent fly fishing is available in the adjacent Waitangi Bay, providing trophy fish for the fly fishing enthusiast!

    The property is family friendly with access to 2 safe swimming beaches, as well as a shared tennis court by arrangement. There is ample parking both for boats and vehicles.

    Come and enjoy fantastic proximity to the lake at Lake Tarawera... For a refreshing lake holiday, Rainbow Cottage is a cute and cosy getaway!
    Please note that the Kayaks at this property are not available during the winter months of the year.

    As the property has unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

    There are kayaks available to use during the summer months, but guests must bring their own life-jackets to gain access to these.

    Please note that there is another property on site that is permanently tenanted.

    Cell Phone coverage is limited in the area. Spark cover the northern end of Spencer Rd.

    WiFi is available at this property through a Zenbu hotspot. Guests will be provided with a WiFi card for use during their stay. Only one device per card is able to connect to the internet at once. Please note that the wifi is intermittent due to the location.

    Pets are welcome outside! Pets are not to be left inside.

    Boat mooring in Lady's Bay: The jetty and fixed mooring are available at the property owner's discretion on a daily basis and subject to availability.

Perfect hideaway.

A beautiful presented little cottage, tucked away in a peaceful setting. We had such a lovely break away in a perfect location not too far away from the beautiful lakes and activities in Rotorua. The cottage had everything that we needed, was comfortable, clean, and had the added bonus of electric blankets for the cold wintery evenings. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
