Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Rotoiti

We had an amazing few days at the most beautiful location and house! The hosts were very accommodating and helpful with all requests. The house was beautiful and fitted our three families perfectly. The location couldn't be better, and the kids loved riding their bikes out front and walk down to the playground. We loved being able to swim right at the doorstep and jump on the boat with ease. An amazing place!

It was such a beautiful location. The place was clean and gorgeous. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a fantaatic stay at Debbie's place which is located in a nice quiet area but still an easy walk to the beach or even to the shopping centre. Debbie was awesome with communication, sending a personal message on top of the auto message for a smooth checkin as well as checking in that we got in okay later that day. We were able to check in early at the last minute too. The house had everything you could need and much more, really a home away from home. The outdoor shower with hot water was a stand out feature. Perfect place to stay for a large group of family or friends, highly recommend.

A lovely, welcoming home, really well equipped, very comfortable. Communication was great from start to finish and every everything in the house had clear instructions which was very helpful. We will definitely stay again

We enjoyed our stay, can’t beat the location! We walked to the beach with boogie boards and had a blast! Rooms were a little warm at night, we had windows open at first but bugs were coming in (no screens), but there was an AC in the living room and fans in the rooms! Loved having washer and dryer!

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in Pukehina! We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home in Pukehina — truly a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and welcomed. The house is clean, cozy, and perfectly situated right by the beach. Waking up to those stunning sunrises every morning was a dream — peaceful, vibrant, and unforgettable. One of the sweetest surprises was Max, the friendly outdoor cat who would stop by for a visit now and then. He added a little extra charm to our stay and made us feel right at home. We honestly didn’t want to leave. Everything about this place made it hard to say goodbye, and we’d love to come back again soon. Only thing we would have done differently is allowed more time to relax and enjoy the home rather than doing so many activities. The house is that amazing. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic retreat by the sea!

This property is stunning. The location right on the water was perfect and especially with the two kayaks. The house was beautifully decorated and had a fully equipped kitchen. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. Always something happening on the water. An idyllic spot to relax and yet close enough to do lots of exploring of the greater area. Thanks for making us welcome, a great place to stay.

Staying at Lucy's was like being in a dream. The perfect, idyllic, lakeside Kiwi-bach, this place matches all descriptions and photos. This place has everything - from a cozy fireplace, to kayaks to explore the lake and a modern bathroom, our family absolutely enjoyed staying here. There was a lot to do and keep yourself entertained with, we didn't struggle with having no wifi. The location is great, only 30 minutes to Rotorua and a lot of places to sightsee on the way there. The only downside of this place is that since it's close to the road there is some traffic noise, especially when big trucks go by. It wasn't an issue for us when staying there since we're city dwellers and accompanied to traffic noise, but if you're a light sleeper definitely bring ear plugs.

Typically lovely old school Kiwi bach. Fantastic location, gorgeous views, kitchen well equipped. Nice and warm!

The most caring host I’ve ever dealt with on Airbnb, very understanding and kind, this will be the only place I’ll come back to stay at when I’m back with my family in Rotorua, next time my wife will do all the booking ;) lol

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

Lovely cottage very near the beach. Well decorated and supplied. Nice outdoor seating and garden area.

We had a wonderful stay and the space catered for all our needs. Tarawera is a magical spot, and this venue allowed us time together without WiFi and the busyness of city life. The reserve and swings, trampoline and bbq area were major bonuses. Thank you for opening this special space for us to use. We recommend for families who love nature and the beauty that Tarawera has to offer!

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

Great old school batch that felt very chill. Awesome to get to use the kayaks and lovely walks nearby. Added bonus was the toy box and the box of duplo which made the stay so much easier with the kids!

Better than we expected, magical experience. Sarah’s guidance allowed us to make the most of the location using the kayaks, visiting the hot pools & surrounding area. We got to experience the real highlights & natural beauty of New Zealand which only this location could provide. Loved it! Supportive & lovely host, thank you Sarah.

Greg’s and his place were absolutely amazing and the perfect place to get turned around after 30 hours of travelling. The gorgeous vista along the River and comfortable quiet and serene accommodations was great for all our needs. The hot tub was glorious and watching the sunsets and sunrises from the expansive deck was breathtaking!!! Our travel into Rotorua was a beautiful and easy drive from our accommodations. Our tour of the dairy farm with Angela and Joe was such a great extra pleasure and all of us enjoyed meeting both the managers and herd!!! We are so happy that our New Zealand experience started at Greg’s and we hope to return for a much longer stay in the future because it was a “piece of heaven!” Thank you Greg!!!

This was the perfect glamping getaway spot for my best friend and I! We loved how clean and cozy everything was, especially the bed with its draped canopy!

What a fabulous place to relax. Loved watching the river, the stars from the hot tub and the leaves rustling. The river is cold! But plenty of firewood to warm up and a quirky, well-maintained space to enjoy. Would definitely come again and recommend to others.
