The Enclave - Lake Tarawera Views, Sleeps 6

Summary:

A simple, comfortable older lakeside house at Lake Tarawera - nothing fancy, but a relaxed, good-value base with lake and Mt Tarawera views, a walk down to the water and a deck. Sleeps 6, pet-friendly.



📍 Short drive » Stoney Point boat ramp

📍 11 min » Blue Lake (Tikitapu)

📍 20 min » Redwoods Forest

📍 24-26 min » city centre & airport



✅ Lake Tarawera & Mt Tarawera views

✅ Walk to the lake - great for fishing & boating

✅ Sleeps 6 - two queens & a twin room

✅ 38 Mbps WIFI



The Space:

A simple, comfortable older lakeside house at Lake Tarawera - honest and unpretentious, but a relaxed, good-value base for a lake getaway. It's set up over two floors. Downstairs, the kitchen, dining and living area are open-plan and open onto a deck, handy for a barbecue in the evening, and there are two bedrooms on this level (a queen and a twin) plus the bathroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a queen bed and its own deck with views over Lake Tarawera to Mt Tarawera. It's a peaceful, no-frills spot, just a walk from the lake and a short drive from the Stoney Point boat ramp - well suited to fishing, boating and easy lake days.

⭐️ Views over Lake Tarawera to Mt Tarawera

⭐️ Just a walk down to the lake, and a short drive to the boat ramp

Guest Access:

You'll have the whole house and grounds to yourselves - all three bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, dining and living areas, and the deck with its BBQ. Upstairs, the master has its own deck with views over Lake Tarawera to Mt Tarawera. There's free parking on-site.



The Neighborhood:

Lake Tarawera is a peaceful lake southeast of Rotorua, a favourite for fishing, boating and swimming. The Stoney Point boat ramp is a short drive away for easy access to the water, and it's a quiet, mostly-residential pocket that feels a world away. Central Rotorua, with its restaurants, shops and geothermal attractions, is about 24 minutes' drive, and Blue Lake (Tikitapu) is around 11.



Getting Around:

A car is essential out here, with free parking on-site including a garage. By car, Blue Lake is about 11 minutes away, the Redwoods around 20, and central Rotorua and the airport roughly 24 to 26. The Stoney Point boat ramp is just a short drive for getting out on the lake.



Other Things to Note:

A quick, honest heads-up: this is a simple, older lakeside house rather than a flash one - clean and comfortable, and good value for a relaxed lake stay. It's pet-friendly (additional charges may apply), so just let us know in advance if you're bringing a furry friend. The lake is a short walk away, with the Stoney Point boat ramp a short drive for boaties. WiFi runs at around 38 Mbps, fine for browsing and streaming.

We had such an amazing stay here! There was everything we needed plus more. They had an awesome stereo system and the music they provided was amazing, our kids would keep it on and dance all night if allowed. We had a couple issues with rain coming in one window and the WiFi going out but they were so communicative with us while we worked together to get it resolved quickly. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The Enclave is an older batch but clean and tidy inside. The section is getting overgrown and plants are growing in the gutter. A pleasant place to stay with lots of bird life.

Good Location

This house was perfect for what we required while attending a family wedding. We did find that the toilet and floor in that room were not very clean and also there was a musty smell in the kitchen cupboards. We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at this property.

Long weekend

There was a distinct smell of rodents by the staircase leading up to the bedroom. Ground floor double bed had slat missing and others loose so couldn’t sleep in it without falling through.Strong musty smell in some kitchen cupboards and the garden needs some TLC.

The Enclave

Fantastic location and plenty of space, nice linen. Downsides were the oven wouldn't work (as had been switched off at wall and needed to be reset. Emailed property manager a number of times who failed to provide instructions. Outdoor bin was full of very stinky rubbish when we arrived.

Great location and homely accommodation away from it all!

Homely, relaxing accommodation that suited our 2 couples for a winter getaway. Fire was great and well used. Place was tidy, but a little tired and run down. Needs some TLC, inside and out. We found a rodent problem and was a musty damp smell in the kitchen.
