About this property
Charming Holiday Hideaway near the Lake
Lovely ground floor holiday apartment in the beautiful lakeside village of Okareka. Surrounded by bush-clad hills, relax to the sound of Tui and other native birds. Environmentally Friendly - Complimentary toiletries made with natural NZ ingredients and supporting NZ Forest and Bird. A short stroll to the lakeside reserve with it's boat ramp, swimming beach and picnic area, or a short drive to Boyes Beach (very popular with the locals!) Loads of great walking and mountainbike tracks on your doorstep and the famous Blue Lake just down the road with all of its sporting events. A 10-15 minute drive to Rotorua with all of its attractions and great places to eat out. Great fishing on Lake Okareka or a 10 minute drive the other way will take you to Lake Tarawera, with its stunning scenery and world famous trout fishing.
Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;
