Escape to the Lake - Lake Rotoiti Bach
For a quintessential Kiwi bach with room for the whole family and a Lake Rotoiti waterfront position to boast about, you simply must check out Escape to the Lake!
Comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests, Escape to the Lake has more than enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably across it’s five bedrooms, each with an exquisite lake view. With a combination of double, queen, and bunk beds, you’ll have no trouble finding a configuration to suit your group. This home also boasts three full bathrooms, including one with a tub to soak in to activate holiday relaxation mode.
The top floor of this two-storey home features a spacious living room with a long day bed stretching the length of the lakeside wall, inviting you to lay back with a book and be drenched in sunshine. There’s certainly plenty of seating for everyone in this space, perfectly designed for the whole family to enjoy. There’s a Smart TV with Netflix and Chromecast, games and toys for the kids, WIFI for those who want to stay connected, and to top it all off, a heat pump to keep it just the right temperature all year round.
Pet owners will be pleased to know that their furry family members are welcome to come on holiday to Escape to the Lake, and they can even curl up and relax inside with you.
Keeping with the theme of spacious and well-equipped, the kitchen truly is the heart of the home here at Escape to the Lake. Packed with everything you’ll need to self-cater your holiday, and even a dishwasher to make clean-up a breeze, you can choose to dine at the large table, or take your meal alfresco out on the balcony with views across the lake.
When you choose a lakeside bach to call your home away from home, you’re either in it for the views, or for the adventure that awaits on the water. Boat owners should definitely bring their vessel with them to Escape to the Lake, the generous sized yard and shared driveway provides parking, or you can simply launch it at your very own boat ramp and leave it in the water!
Lake Rotoiti is an ideal spot to holiday if you want to enjoy the family and adventure activities of Rotorua, without the city feel. With a lakefront location offering a safe, shallow swimming spot, we think you’ll be spending most of your time in or on the water, but there’s also plenty to keep you occupied nearby, such as the Okere Falls Park and Hamurana Springs. And, if the need arises for some modern convenience, you’re just 25-30 minutes from Rotorua and Papamoa for restaurants, cafes and shops.
There’s only a few steps between you and the water here at Escape to the Lake! Please note that the property is supplied with tank water, which is safe for drinking. However, guests are welcome to bring their own water if they prefer.As the property has unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children and pets while outside to ensure they are safe around water.The depth of the water at the boat ramp is dependent on lake levels and may not always be suitable to launch a boat. Another boat ramp into deeper water is available 50m away.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a private yard, and a coffee maker.

A great family space to relax
This house was built by family for family, and it shows. It had everything we could ask for a fun holiday for an extended family. The view is great too.
