The Space:
An absolute lakefront home on the peaceful shores of Lake Ōkāreka, made for big families and groups who want to be right on the water. The front deck steps down to a lawn that runs to your own private jetty, with boat launching nearby and a wetlands boardwalk next door - it's a wonderful spot for swimming, fishing, waterskiing and wakeboarding, or simply watching the lake.
Downstairs is open-plan, tying together a full kitchen, lounge and dining that open onto a large deck with a Weber BBQ looking out over the water. There's a second lounge that can be closed off, three bedrooms (one with an ensuite), the main bathroom, a laundry and a double garage. Upstairs, the master has its own ensuite and a private deck with lake views, and there's a fifth bedroom for the kids. The home is warmed by air conditioning and a cosy fireplace.
This is a well-loved home and has some signs of wear and tear, adding to its relaxed, easy-going charm - it's all about the lake and the space rather than a polished finish.

The Neighborhood:
Waterfront Escape sits right on the shore of Lake Ōkāreka, a quiet, scenic lake just east of Rotorua and one of the prettiest spots in the district. It's a relaxed, residential lakeside setting - a wetlands boardwalk is right next door, and the lake is wonderful for swimming, fishing, waterskiing and wakeboarding. The Blue and Green Lakes are just up the road, the Redwoods Forest is a short drive, and central Rotorua with its restaurants, shops and geothermal attractions is around 15 minutes away.
Getting Around:
A car is essential here - Lake Ōkāreka is a peaceful spot a little out of town, with a double garage and off-street parking. By car, Blue Lake (Tikitapu) is about 4 minutes away, the Redwoods around 13, the city centre roughly 16, and Rotorua Airport about 19. Boat launching is nearby if you're bringing one onto the lake.

A few things worth knowing: this is a well-loved home with some signs of wear and tear, which adds to its relaxed, lakeside charm. You have your own private jetty - however please note that sudden drops in lake levels can limit larger boats at times.
