The Neighborhood:

Ngongotahā is a relaxed lakeside village on the western shore of Lake Rotorua, just north of the city and a world away from the bustle. Stillwater Residence looks northeast over the water to Mokoia Island, with a park-like lawn running down to a private walkway at the water's edge. Skyline Rotorua's gondola and luge, Rotorua Canopy Tours and the Zorb are all within about seven minutes, while central Rotorua, Eat Streat and the lakefront boardwalk, Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Hot Springs are a short drive around the lake. Te Puia's geysers and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest are an easy run the other way. It's an easygoing, lakefront base for a Rotorua holiday.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended for exploring wider Rotorua, and there's ample on-site and off-street parking. Zorb, Skyline and Canopy Tours are around 5 to 7 minutes away, central Rotorua about 12, Te Puia 15, the Redwoods roughly 20, and Rotorua Airport about 23 minutes around the eastern side of the lake. A bus stop just down the road offers a public transport option too.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI: Starlink high-speed WIFI.



SPA POOL: 34 jets with five hydro-massage seats.



VENTILATION: O2VENT home ventilation system for a comfortable living environment all year round.
