Tamaki Lakehouse is located in a quiet residential street in the lakefront suburb of Ngongotaha. The neighbours are all long standing residents, so please be mindful of this when booking.
It's a short walk to the Ngongotaha township, where you'll find a supermarket, cafe, bottle store, post shop, several food outlets and other little shops. .
Tamaki Lakehouse is just 8 kms from Rotorua centre and walking distance from the local Ngongotaha village. There's a bus service which runs into town and Rotorua also has taxi and Uber services.
Although the house sleeps up to 12 guests, the bunk beds are suited to children only as the mattresses are a basic foam style rather than innersprung- so a maximum 8 adults per booking is advised.

Beautiful location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we wished we had planned to stay longer. Only a small drive away from most activities in Rotorua while also being well away from that famous sulfur smell. No fuss check in and not a long list of instructions for departure

Home away from home
Wow! Amazing property for all ages, safe and secure for our 2 year old and easily accesible for our 88 year old. Our teenagers enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks and so did the adults. Great time away from phones and spending quality family time and enjoying the beautiful view. Close to attractions. Thank you owners
