The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Lake Okareka, the house offers a peaceful escape with easy access to Rotorua's attractions.

Explore the geothermal wonders, experience the thrill of adventure activities, or immerse yourself in Maori culture. For dining, you'll find a variety of options a short drive away, from casual eateries to fine dining restaurants. While the immediate area offers serenity, a quick trip will provide you with all the amenities and attractions you could desire. Enjoy the best of both worlds – a quiet retreat with easy access to everything Rotorua has to offer.
Getting Around:
Getting around is easy from Retreat on the Ridge. Free parking is available on-site in the garage and in the driveway. For those arriving by air, Rotorua Airport (ROT) is approximately a 15-minute drive away. While public transport options are limited directly from the property, the Rotorua city center, with bus services, is a short drive, offering connections to various parts of the region. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available for convenient travel to local attractions and dining spots. The central location also makes it easy to explore the surrounding areas by car, offering scenic drives and access to the best of Rotorua's natural beauty.
Other Things to Note:
Please note the driveway has an incline. If you plan to bring a boat, please confirm suitability with us before booking.
