The Space:

Mountain Bike Retreat is a roomy 5-bedroom home built for groups who are here to ride, relax and spread out. It's an honest, practical home - comfortable and well set up rather than fancy, with everything you need for an easy Rotorua stay and plenty of room for bikes and gear. Set over two levels, with the living area and master up top and more bedrooms down below.



HIGHLIGHTS

⭐️ Private spa pool in the ground-floor courtyard

⭐️ Internal double garage with bike racks - room for the whole group's bikes

⭐️ New sundeck off the living room with BBQ

⭐️ 346 Mbps WIFI

⭐️ Open-plan kitchen, living and dining upstairs

Ground floor

Sleeps 10 in total. All bedding and linen supplied.



- BATHROOMS -

Three bathrooms in total, including the master ensuite on the top floor. Simple, clean and practical, with showers. Towels supplied.



- LIVING AREA -

Upstairs is open-plan kitchen, living and dining - the hub of the house and an easy spot for the whole group to gather after a day on the trails. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking group meals, and the living area opens straight out onto the new deck. Bedroom five downstairs has its own small TV area for a quieter corner.



- OUTDOOR AREA -

The living room opens onto a new sundeck with a BBQ, looking out over the backyard - the spot for an evening drink or a weekend cook-up. Downstairs, a private spa pool sits in the ground-floor courtyard, ready for a soak to ease tired legs after the trails.



- PARKING & BIKE STORAGE -

Internal double garage with bike racks, so the whole group's bikes are locked away and out of the weather. Off-street parking on the driveway, plus plenty of room on the street.



Guest Access:

Guests have exclusive use of the whole home - both levels, all five bedrooms, the kitchen and living area, the new deck and BBQ, the spa pool, and the double garage with bike racks. Free parking on the driveway and the street. Make yourself at home. 🏡



The Neighborhood:

Springfield is a quiet, residential pocket on the south side of Rotorua, handy to just about everything. You're a couple of minutes from Te Puia and the edge of the Whakarewarewa Forest, home to some of New Zealand's best mountain biking, trail running and walking tracks - you can ride straight from the door, under the tunnel and across to the Waipa carpark trailhead. The Redwoods, Skyline Gondola and Luge, and the geothermal parks are all a short drive, and central Rotorua - with its lakefront, restaurants and hot pools, including the Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki - is about ten minutes away. Shops and essentials are just a few minutes from the door.



Getting Around:

A car is the easiest way to explore Rotorua, and there's off-street parking on the driveway plus room on the street. Central Rotorua is around 10 minutes, Rotorua Airport about 15, and the Redwoods, Skyline and geothermal parks all within a short drive. Keen riders can skip the car altogether and ride straight from the door, under the tunnel and across to the Waipa carpark trailhead.



Other Things to Note:

A LOCKWOOD HOME: The house is a classic New Zealand Lockwood, built from solid timber. Homes like this settle and can creak or make the odd noise as the temperature changes through the day and night - it's completely normal and simply part of the character of a Lockwood timber build.



A PRACTICAL, WELL-EQUIPPED HOME: This is a comfortable, functional home rather than a high-end one. It has everything you need for a relaxed group stay - it's just kept simple and unfussy.



WIFI: 346 Mbps.

The entrance stairs were uneven, making them tricky to navigate in the dark, especially when going down. There is an automatic light, but it doesn't sense movement when going down the stairs. There were bugs and cobwebs all over the main door entrance. The house itself constantly creaked. The water pressure was inadequate for multiple showers at the same time. Despite three bathrooms, only person could take a hot shower at a time. And the television remote was no where to be found.On the plus side, there were five rooms and parking for two cars. The price was reasonable. You get what you pay for.

Perfect Stay

We loved this house, a quiet area, clean property and suited us as an extended family. One thing it could have done with is a room with single beds, all the beds were queen, which meant our teenagers had to sleep together. We made it work though and would definitely recommend.

Hot tub, plenty of space, heaps of fun

The location is amazing if you want to mountain bike or walk, bike over to the Redwoods in 10 mins. Heaps of room here with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. We were extended family from UK and NZ, two families were easily able to combine for Christmas and have sufficient room. Kids age 5-15 all loved it (and their parents). PS guidoughs bakery down the road is awesome: pies, cakes and bread.

Good location, great space, parking, etc.

We traveled as a family of 4 through NZ. Stayed in Rotorua for 2 days. The home was just a few miles/KM from almost anywhere in the town. The home was spacious with more than enough room for the four of us and the kids had their own rooms with two additional rooms available. The kitchen and dining area worked well. The house took some time to cool down, but that worked out in the end. Also had great communication with the owner, which is great! We would stay there again and hope to have the opportunity to come back to NZ.

Getaway

. Having three bathrooms suited our three couples . Although through the eyes of an experienced builder , the back deck needs some serous attention . The bathroom down stairs also needs a spruce up , with the Shower mixers being seized due to the hardness of the water in Rotorushower mixers
