Arjan 
“Great home and the best place to stay near Rotorua.”
Close to Redwoods for some cycling, and of course the beautiful lake Okareka right in front of you. Fantastic roomy place to stay with friends / family.

- Arjan, May 2025Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and its fantastic location near the Redwoods and Lake Ōkāreka. It’s great to know it was a perfect spot for your group to relax and explore. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay in the future. Bachcare

Mandy “Absolutely lovely property… great for our mountain bike school group as we had privacy etc and lovely social spaces Garage access would have been usefully for all our bikes n kit.”
- Mandy, January 2025Dirk “There was no issue with the property.”
Clean and exactly as described. It started with no hot water in the morning. Although it was resolved (could have been avoided easily) it was annoying, considering the price of the house per night! At 10:30 the power was cut, I drove down the road and was told by neighbours and other locals that the powercut was notified, well in advance, for this area. The owner chose to not tell anyone!! We left the house for the day as it was useless to us. Returning late afternoon ,power was still cut. No one could tell us for how much longer. My brother and his wife , visiting from overseas left to find another hotel in town. That part of the holiday was ruined. I took a long time, numerous phone calls and emails to get a small amount of refund. Very disappointing experience.
- Dirk, March 2024Sarah “It was such a lovely place to stay.”
So many comfortable spaces to hang out in and relax. Thank you we absolutely loved staying in your lovely Bach. We will definitely be rebooking in the future. Thank you.
- Sarah, February 2024Alice “The booking process was confusing.”
I got a number of different emails that said different things about whether or not cleaning was included (even though we had paid extra for this); and whether or not linen was included. Not really the property owner's fault, but something bachcare needs to sharpen up on. It was also a bit of a surprise to find someone was living the downstairs of the Bach. Probably should have let us know to expect this. But the house itself was beautiful and superbly appointed .
- Alice, February 2024Nick “It was unclear what to do with the rubbish and recycling at the end of our stay, and we were baffled that the property manager suggested we drove to Tarawera to dump the rubbish and recycling.”
Other than that, the stay was perfect! Beautiful house and well-equipped, handy to the lake and a beautiful jetty that provided the perfect swimming spot. Will be back for sure
- Nick, January 2024Thalia “This house is beautiful, with plenty of space and ample kitchen facilities and equipment.”
The coffee machine was a bonus! The only downside was that the only heating in the living area is a wood burner, which none of our guests were comfortable lighting. Otherwise, the perfect spot to get ready for our wedding and with a lovely view of the lake. We would definitely stay again if the occasion arises.
- Thalia, November 2023Vicky “The property was amazing!”
we loved the view and the location. The house was neat and tidy and had plenty of comfortable seating and lots of kitchenware. We also enjoyed the fire place for the cold evenings.
- Vicky, September 2023Juan “Listen the place was lovely, even though we had a little hiccup re the BBQ the place still met all our needs and is stunning.”
- Juan, July 2023Nicola “Amazing location and such a wonderful set up and space inside.”
Our only comment, as we visited in winter, would be having somewhere to safely store the bikes etc out of the rain.
- Nicola, July 2023Rachel “We loved our stay, this property is beautiful!”
Great for groups with plenty of space and lots of great features throughout the house to use. We especially loved the outdoor areas including a sunny front deck and outdoor fire place for the evenings. Thanks for having us!
- Rachel, February 2023Alexander “Fantastic house with fantastic views.”
Very welcoming and we loved staying. However, felt that it was missing some information to help with check-in. There was one tiny bin which we filled within 10 minutes but no information on where to take the rubbish. No wheelie bins or larger bins was frustrating considering how large the house is and how many people it holds. We had to call bachcare to find out what to do with the rubbish (drive it to bins 10 minutes away). Also the internet was not working and did not work for the duration of the stay.
- Alexander, February 2023Michaela “The place was perfect for a nice holiday in Lake Okareka.”
We had everything we needed! The wifi seems to be a little weak but it may have been my device. We will definitely come back again.
- Michaela, January 2023John “Great bach!”
- John, December 2022Dynasty “An absolutely gorgeous home, perfect property to stay for our wedding weekend, great location to our venue Longfords Estate.”
Family friendly, plenty of space, very well equipped with games, toys books to keep kids happy. We Loved it,
- Dynasty, December 2022Sue “Great help from the team, before and after our stay”
- Sue, September 2022Rob “This is our new fav spot to stay in Rotorua.”
We were very pleasantly surprised. The house location is perfect for walks, swimming and MTB access and is very well presented. The fire was ready to be lit and the coffee machine is an auto professional grade machine. We had a few special requests re Linen, checkout and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again.
- Rob, August 2022Mandy “Beautiful property with a lot of rooms and a great view, but there were a few issues such as the dishwasher, aircon, wifi not working.”
- Mandy, March 2022Lisa “We are an extended family that enjoy holidaying together and this property worked well for us.”
It is equipped with everything we needed and is close to Rotorua. Would definitely stay again.

- Pip, December 2021claire “Great property for our groups getaway in fantastic surroundings, plenty of space for everyone.”
Nice bedding and very clean.
- claire, December 2021Sophie “Absolutely fantastic home, we visited with 2 families, (4 adults and 6 children ranging from 2-7) in July.”
This home has everything we needed and more, lots of space, view of the lake lovely. A nice and quiet area. Fireplace was lovely, and rooms warmed well with the heaters. Kitchen lovely and big. We will be back, and hope to come back in summer to enjoy the lake and surroundings! Stunning home.
- Sophie, July 2021Nick “Thank you for a great stay!”
The photos don't do the property justice - it is much bigger and luxurious than it appears on the website! Very close to the lake and great views! The only negative was that there wasn't enough firewood. We did raise this with the property manager who said he would look into it but never got back to us. At such a cold time of year with young children this wasn't ideal. We ended up collecting our own wood from home as we had to go back home to feed the cows anyway.
- Nick, July 2021sally “Great property for a large group, plenty of space to spread out and relax.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here and Joey the bachcare manager was fast and efficient in sending an electrician to sort out a minor fuse issue for us. Really lovely location.
- sally, July 2021Renata “This home is in a great location and the house is amazing it has everything you could possibly need and is so well laid out.”
Highly recommend! We will be going back.
- Renata, November 2020Brittany “This place is a really beautiful stay, the photos do not do justice!”
We had a lovely girls weekend away and really enjoyed all the luxuries that this property provided. A great place if you want to stay just out of Rotorua in a beautiful area, with the property being only 10 mins drive from town!
- Brittany, November 2020Lisa “Amazing property and great location for some down time with the family!”
- Lisa, October 2020Lionel “This is a fantastic place to stay, well catered for every ones needs, bathrooms to all bedrooms, lots of games and puzzles, heaps of space , inside and out.”

- Lionel, July 2020Symmone “Great property, plenty of room for three couples and kids, short track across the road with jetty at the end to jump into the beautiful lake - we loved it, thank you!”
- Symmone, March 2020Caitlin “We were lucky enough to find this property for my bridal party to stay at for our wedding on 7/3/20.”
We had an absolutely amazing stay here at this fantastic property. The location was incredible, an easy walking distance to lake okareka, and the views of the lake were stunning. There was plenty of room for all of us and we loved the outdoor living, with several decks and an outdoor fire. The place was modern and clean and very well stocked with kitchenware etc. which made our life easy. We were sad to leave and are hoping to come back again next year!
- Caitlin, March 2020Kate “Great place for extended family.”
Outdoor areas offered use of morning and evening sun. Plenty of bathrooms. Lots of parking. A variety of kids toys and games. Excellent fully equipped with kitchen.
- Kate, February 2020Anna “Amazing house, perfect outdoor spaces, all the kitchen and serving equipment you need and heaps of room for a long weekend away with extended family!”
- Anna, November 2019Alex “What an amazing bach!”
Modern, clean, spacious and a stunning view across the lake! We loved the large living areas - a space for the kids and a space for grown ups. The wood burner kept us toasty and warm in the evenings. The bach was incredibly well equipped. We lived our stay and will be back again without a doubt!

Surrounded by hills and native forest, Lake Okareka is one of the smaller of the Rotorua Lakes, and one less visited by tourists. Because of this, it is a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of life and refresh yourselves. Family activities close by include everything Rotorua has to offer such as the Skyline Luge, Fairy Springs and Zorb. All of our Lake Okareka holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
