The Village Villa | Beautifully Restored Villa
Summary: The Village Villa is your cosy, stylish getaway in unique Ngongotahā. The Villa is just a stone’s throw from the lakefront and world-class trout fishing, 8km from the CBD and a short ride to the cycle trail. The 100-year old Villa is now ageing gracefully after a careful renovation to ensure she is user friendly for all. Whether you’re a family group enjoying everything Rotorua has to offer, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or friends reconnecting, the Village Villa has everything you need.
The Space: The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where you’ll find a cozy wood-burner fire alongside a convenient heat pump—so you’re covered whatever the season. Bedrooms one and two both offer comfortable queen beds, while bedroom three features two single beds to give you added flexibility. Step outside to discover a small, sunlit courtyard complete with BBQ, and don’t miss the outdoor games room with table tennis for a bit of friendly competition.
Guest Access: You'll have full access to the entire Village Villa during your stay. This includes the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, complete with a cozy wood burner and heat pump for your comfort. Each of the three bedrooms is exclusively yours, with queen beds in two rooms and two single beds in the third, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Step outside to enjoy the small courtyard featuring a BBQ, perfect for outdoor dining. For some added fun, you'll also have access to the outdoor games room, equipped with a table tennis table. Secure parking is available within the fully fenced section, and you can utilise the garage to safely store bikes, kayaks, or other recreational items.
