The Neighborhood:

Ōwhata is a quiet, established suburb on the eastern shore of Lake Rotorua, a few minutes from the airport and handy to everything on the Rotorua Lakes side of town. The Redwoods Forest and its mountain biking, walking and running trails are under 10 minutes by car, with Te Puia's geysers and Māori cultural experiences about the same. Central Rotorua, the lakefront, the Polynesian Spa and Waiariki Spa are around 12 minutes. Head the other way and you're on the road to Lake Rotoiti, Lake Okareka and Lake Tarawera for swimming, fishing and lake walks.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended and there's plenty of parking in the double garage and on the driveway. Rotorua Airport is only 5 minutes away, so it's an easy start and finish to a fly-in holiday. The Redwoods and Te Puia are about 10 minutes, central Rotorua and the hot pools around 12, and the Skyline Gondola & Luge, Zorb and Canopy Tours around 20 minutes across town.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI: 250 Mbps.



Coffee: plunger supplied - bring your favourite ground coffee.



A permanent cot is set up in Bedroom 4 for guests travelling with a baby.



This is a single-level home with step-free access.



No pets, sorry.



This property has a Minut sensor in the living room that monitors noise and smoke. It never records audio - it only sends our property managers a decibel reading if noise stays above acceptable levels for a sustained period.
