Lake Rotoiti (North Island)

The Rotoiti Lake Retreat is a perfect place to relax away from the tumults of city life. Dominating the Lake, it offers ample and comfortable space for 3 or 4 couples and their children and sleeps up to 13 guests (+ 2 on sofa bed). It is minutes walk away from the water and within 25 minutes drive from most sport and cultural activities the region has to offer. Its large sunny garden also features outside fireplace and giant trampoline. THE SPACE The sunny Retreat is located at the highest point over Lake Rotoiti giving its guests breathtaking lake and mountain views. Nested amongst native bush it is also inhabited by a wide variety of New Zealand endemic birds including Tuis, Fantail birds, Moreporks, black swans and wood pigeons. GUEST ACCESS At the exception of the billiard ensuite room and the boat sheds, the entire property is available to guests. BOAT OWNERS For guests with boats, we have direct access to the lake few minutes away from the house. A dedicated Boat ramp is available as well as a secure car park for your trailer and car. A jetty space is available next to the boat ramp for loading goods and embarking passengers. Please note that a small cash donation may be charged for using the parking, boat ramp and jetty. PERMANENT JETTY SPACE For guests who wish to leave their boat on the water, a secured and permanent jetty space (subject to availability) may be organised by prior arrangement. LAKE CRUISES: If you do not have a boat, some beautiful and well organised cruises are available on lake Rotoiti. However, unless your wallet is truly overloaded and you don't mind spending in half a day, the price of a Round-the-World airline ticket, it is worth it only if you book for large groups over 20.
