There is a large jetty on the property and it is just minutes to the Ohau Channel where fantastic fish are caught; or travel through the Ohau Channel to fish Lake Rotoiti.

Testimonials
  • Adrienne and Clarrie are superb hosts. They can be as entertaining or as invisible as you would like them to be! The morning hampers were a lifesaver.
    Cori Barkle, Auckland, New Zealand
  • Thanks for a wonderful stay, the place is just so relaxing, I did not want to leave. It was gorgeous waking up to the sound of the lapping waves and the feel of the morning breeze off Lake Rotorua. Vanessa Yeo, Auckland, New Zealand
  • An absolutely great spot. The lake is made for kayaking and windsurfing and was very close to the Okere river rafting. A great spot to unwind after a crazy day.
    Dave Ellis, Toronto, Canada
  • Hi Adrienne, just a note to say thank you for looking after us during our stay at the cottage. The cottage was one of the highlights of our visit to New Zealand, we are missing the views already. We had a wonderful time in Rotorua, we also took your recommendation and spent 4 sun drenched days in Napier. Now back in the cold UK. Oh, well done on the lucky victory last Saturday! (All Blacks vs Lions). Kind Regards Darren, Jane & Max, England
