Located in Holdens Bay within a 5-minute walk of Lake Rotorua, this vacation home is within a 15-minute stroll of Te Amorangi Museum. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a refrigerator.
Summary: Escape to Cooper's Lakeside Cabin, a delightful 2-bedroom holiday home on the shores of Lake Rotorua, New Zealand. This charming retreat comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests and boasts breathtaking lake views, complimentary kayaks for exploring the waters, and a cozy indoor fireplace. Enjoy easy access to Rotorua CBD (just 10 minutes away) and nearby attractions. Families and couples alike will adore the stunning sunsets and tranquil atmosphere.
The Space: The house features two cozy bedrooms, each designed for a restful night's sleep. The first bedroom offers a queen bed, while the second bedroom includes a double bed and a single bunk bed (over the double), accommodating up to five guests comfortably. Enjoy breathtaking scenic lake views of Lake Rotorua from the windows, creating a relaxing atmosphere. For those who love water activities, kayaks are available on site for exploring the lake. Life jackets are included. The inviting living room includes an indoor fireplace, with firewood provided for your convenience.
Guest Access: You'll have the whole place to yourself when you stay here. That means both bedrooms, the full bathroom, kitchen, living room, and dining area are all yours. We'll also provide the basics: sheets, towels, and cleaning supplies. Plus, there's access to the lake, and you're welcome to use the kayaks!
The Neighborhood: Discover the tranquility of Holdens Bay, with our cabin perfectly situated on the edge of Lake Rotorua. You're just a short 10-minute drive from Rotorua's vibrant city center, where you can explore a variety of shops, dine at local restaurants, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural attractions. Embrace the best of both worlds – the peace of a lakeside escape and the convenience of nearby amenities.
Getting Around: While public transport is accessible, we recommend using your own vehicle to explore Rotorua's attractions. Free parking is available on the premises and on the street at 9A Cooper Avenue, Holdens Bay, Rotorua. This accommodation offers a garage for your convenience.
Other Things to Note: A bike wash and bike racks are available (inside the garage). Being lakeside, we do get the lake flies, especially at dusk as the light is changing. They're pesky but they don't bite, they're more of an annoyance than anything. They are the food for our amazing trout out in the lake so they're not all bad! You'll just need to keep windows closed at night, especially if the lights are on inside the house.
Interaction with Guests: We're available by phone, message or email during your stay. If you need personal assistance, we can stop in so just let us know.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

A fantastic spot beside the main lake. The property is clean and well maintained. The attractions of Rotorua can be enjoyed and then you can relax in a secluded spot by the lake. I highly recommend this property.

Rotarua fun
We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful lakeside cabin. It’s the perfect getaway spot quiet & tranquil. We were right at the lake for walks & sunshine. Beds were comfortable with amenities up to date. Plenty of hot water & soft towels.

Could not have been better
The cabin is cozy and charming! It was a pleasure to wake up each morning to have coffee and watch the birds on the lake. The location is superb ! Close to all the key tourist spots without being inside of one yourself. Plenty of clean towels, comfy bedding and the kitchen has everything .
