Tranquil Retreat with Breathtaking Lake Views: Renowed for Trout Fishing
Located just 27 minutes away from Rotorua and its exciting attractions like the Redwood Forest, Gondola Luge, bike tracks, and jet boating, this place is a paradise for nature lovers. You'll find a hot natural local pool just 5 minutes away by car or 10 minutes by boat, making it a boatie's dream.

Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby fishing spots, but a fishing license is required, which can be conveniently purchased at the local petrol station. If you're up for some kayaking, there's one available for use.

The surrounding natural beauty allows you to wake up to the delightful sounds of birds. If you need to grab a bite or refuel, the nearest cafe, takeaways, and petrol station are just a short 10-minute drive away.
This is a Tiny House with 2 lofts, 1 with double bed and 1 two seater couch that can open up for a child. There is also a couch which will open downstairs. Because of the ladder and stairs this is not suitable for people with mobility issues and children under 5 yrs of age.
Linen is provided, and smoking is not allowed inside. Sorry no dogs.
The cabin is heated and features a separate bedroom. The cabin also includes a washing machine.

Accommodation tiny as described, not safe and nowhere to put a suit case. Not very clean. Steep ladder to bed located on the floor at the top of ladder. A child’s cubby house is all it is good for. Definitely not accommodation suitable, definitely would not recommend to anyone!

A cozy little fort right near Rotorua

The tiny home has everything you need to explore the Rotorua area. The kitchen has a sink and full cooking capabilities. The bathroom has a toilet, mini little sink, and shower head. The bathroom does get rather wet when you shower but it’s built for that. There is a very secure ladder to the main sleeping area and a pull out ladder for another miniature sitting area that’s more for little ones then adults. It is tiny but very cozy. The view from the tiny house is stunning and looks onto the lake (we saw so many swans!). We visited in the winter and it was great for exploring the area but it would be amazing for a summer trip! Pam and Neville were very sweet and welcoming. Pam even brought us soup on our first chilly day.

The perfect spot

This gorgeous tiny home had everything we needed. Heater for winter, all cooking facilities and the most incredible view! It's quiet, but close enough to Rotorua. Pam and Neville are fantastic. So warming and welcoming. If we needed anything, they were happy to help. If you're wanting to escape for a weekend or longer, this is the place to do it. A coffee on the lake front in the morning... it's just bliss. Thank you for having us, we will definitely be back!

Little house adventure

What an amazing place. The position is perfect. Just a few metres from the lake. The house is compact and cosy but has everything you could need. And if it hasn’t then Pam your host will help you. We stayed 3 nights and hope to visit again before our return to the UK. One of the best places we have stayed in. Photos don’t do it justice.
