Rototai House | Tiny Home Getaway - a lake retreat

2 Bedroom House in Rototai, Rotoiti Forest

Enjoy a cosy getaway in our converted containers. Set amongst mature native trees, the birdlife is gorgeous to listen to.
Fully lined and insulated with modern features. A 50 min drive from Tauranga and only 20 min from Rotorua city.
The 1000sqm section has plenty of room for boat parking and is only 180m from the boat ramp. There are great forest walks in the vicinity.
After a day out, enjoy an evening relaxing by the chiminea with a drink and toasting marshmallows while gazing at the stars.
As this is our holiday home, it is very well set up and comfortable. It is cozy in winter, and in summer, you can spread out on the large section, which is large enough to park and turn boats around on. The large deck gets sun almost all day, so lovely to relax on in the outdoor beanbags.
A barbeque is provided for cooking outside if you wish. Indoors there is an oven, double hotplate, electric frying pan, and crockpot.
If you have a boat, you are directly across from Honeymoon and Champagne Bay and a short ride to the hot pools. It's a great ride to Okere Falls Store for lunch, also. The boat ramp provides ample parking. If you don't have a boat, you can swim from the beach or treat yourself at Hells Gate thermal pools.
Golf lovers, the Hinehopu Golf Club is only 5km away.
Due to the location some phone networks have differing coverage. 2 degrees has no issues at all, others differ depending on where you are on the property.
3 kayaks are provided for your use. Please stay within the shoreline and the yellow 5-knot markers. Be aware that lake conditions can change quickly so stay within your capabilities.
Bedroom 1: Within the main container, super cosy and with a wardrobe.
Bedroom 2: External access but 5 steps from the main container. Coffee-making facilities mean you can wake up and enjoy a cuppa in bed. This room also has its own couch to relax in your own space.
EXTRA GUESTS: If you want to book 1-2 extra guests, please let us know the circumstances when enquiring. We are happy to be flexible where possible. Over summer, we are happy to negotiate for a campervan or tent on site.
LINEN: Due to the location of our place from our home, we prefer you to bring your own sheets and towels. If this is not possible we can supply linen for the cost of $20 per bedroom (sheets/pillowcases and 2x towels).
Both beds require queen sheets and pillowcases.
Heating is provided in both spaces in winter and fans in summer.
