Aroha - Lake Views, Spa Pool & Annexe, Sleeps 12

Summary:

Wake up to panoramic Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island views at Aroha Te Taumata, a spacious six-bedroom retreat in peaceful Kawaha Point. A four-bedroom main house plus a separate, self-contained two-bedroom annexe sleeps up to 12 - ideal for two families or large groups who want space together and a bit of privacy. Soak in the spa pool to the sound of native birds, with direct lake access a short 300-metre stroll away.



The Space:

The main house has four bedrooms and open-plan living that opens straight to the view - Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island fill the windows from the lounge, dining and kitchen. Cook in the fully equipped kitchen, gather for a meal with the lake as your backdrop, then unwind in the spa pool as the native birds settle in for the evening.



A separate, self-contained annexe adds two more bedrooms, its own bathroom, a living area and a full kitchen - ideal for a second family, older teens or grandparents who want a bit of independence.



Sleeping and bathrooms:

- Main house: four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate toilet

- Annexe: two bedrooms, a bathroom, living area and kitchen

- Sleeps up to 12 guests across both dwellings



Direct Lake Rotorua access is a short, level 300-metre walk down the street, and Rotorua's main attractions are only a few minutes' drive away.



Guest Access:

You'll have the whole property to yourselves - both the main house and the annexe, the two kitchens, all the living spaces and the spa pool. Relax in the garden and outdoor areas, with free off-street parking plus extra room on the street for larger groups. Self check-in by smart lock makes arrival easy, whatever time you land.



The Neighborhood:

Aroha Te Taumata sits in Kawaha Point, a quiet lakeside suburb on the northern edge of Rotorua known for its views and birdlife. Direct Lake Rotorua foreshore access is about 300 metres down the street - an easy stroll to watch the swans and waterbirds. You're close to everything that brings people to Rotorua: Skyline Rotorua's gondola and luge is roughly a 5-minute drive, the Whakarewarewa and Waipa mountain bike trails about 10 to 12 minutes, and the central city with its restaurants, geothermal attractions and Polynesian Spa around 7 minutes away. For everyday basics there's a local Four Square and a fish and chip shop on nearby Koutu Road, with a larger supermarket a few minutes' drive on Fairy Springs Road.



Getting Around:

A car is the easiest way to explore Rotorua and the wider lakes district, and the property has free off-street parking with extra room on the street for larger groups. Rotorua Airport is about a 15-minute drive, and taxis and ride-share are readily available. The city centre is a short drive away, with bus routes nearby if you'd rather leave the car parked.
