Cottage vacation rentals in Rotorua

Very professional management. Cottage is in the front yard of a private residence, but very private. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood so definitely need a car to get to other parts of town. Hot tub was a bonus!

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!

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

We absolutely loved our stay at Kearu’s Nest. The beds were so comfortable, and the linen was beautiful. After a magical day on the lake, it was amazing to come home to an outdoor fire and relax in the spa. The birdlife was incredible, and the tūī birdsong made it even more special. With just a short walk to the lake, we made the most of early morning swims. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Ange and Dave!

The cottage is private, spacious and homey, over looking a pretty valley. We felt good being there and sad to leave. The location is 30 minutes or less from Rotorua and maybe 50 minutes from Huka falls. Watching the Milky Way from the hot tub was a special treat!

Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage with spacious bedrooms and lovely lake views. We really enjoyed learning the story of the area, and exploring Rotorua and the wider region. The cottage is ideally placed for travel in any direction. We would be happy to 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!

Dan's place is just a piece of paradise! Right in front of the lake, with private jetty and private ramp, away from the main road, totally safe for children. Highly recommend! Dan is very responsive and welcoming, makes you feel like home. Looking forward to return again!

Great stay in unique cozy home. Full of character and charm that you’d expect of a place like this. Comfortable beds. The washing machine was great to have. Nadia is very responsive and thoughtful. Left a little Easter treat for us! Walkable to grocery store. It’s a fair walk to Eat Streat etc, but we either ubered or drove. We recommend it for a cottage-like unique stay.

Really lovely, clean, peaceful place to stay, whilst being handy for many attractions and the city centre. We would definitely be happy to return.

Rob’s lakeside retreat was wonderful!! It was clean and beautiful and perfect for our family! It was larger than we expected… plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out. And the view was even better than we hoped! There was everything we could have wanted at our fingertips… robes, extra pillows, tea! Rob is extremely organized and helpful! We felt very lucky to stay at this property!

We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Great place to stay in Rotorua! Alison and Marc are great hosts that made us feel welcome and provide lots of great advice for things to see and do!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. It had everything you'd expect in a comfortable home, making us feel right at ease. The highlight was definitely the spa and the stunning lake view—especially when we caught a rainbow stretching across the water. Just breathtaking. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

The love shack was a gorgeous secluded spot that is perfect for any type of getaway! The hosts were so delightful and had no hesitation with allowing us to charge our EV ,which was so helpful! The love shack itself is beautiful, a very modern decor and it is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need! We will definitely return!

We loved our stay! Was wonderful to be able to tie up our boat at the jetty and visit the hot pools. A very comfortable stay, and the kitchen was very well fitted out for cooking. Was also a great little walk to the cafe. Beautiful views and native birds. Alec was a great host and really appreaciate his great proactive communications. Would love to stay again.
