The Space:

A relaxed, easygoing Kiwi bach at Gisborne Point on Lake Rotoiti - the kind of spot made for lazy summers on the water. There's a great deck and an enormous lawn with plenty of room for the boat and a game of backyard cricket, and it's just a short stroll through the front gate to the lake for a swim or to launch the boat. The main house has two bedrooms, and a separate sleep-out gives the group a bit of extra space and privacy. It's all about kicking back and enjoying lake life.

There's plenty of room to park the boat, and boat ramps at either end of Wharetoroa Drive.



The Neighborhood:

Rad Little Pad sits at Gisborne Point on Lake Rotoiti, in a relaxed neighbourhood of lake houses - some holiday homes, some permanent - popular with anyone who loves getting out on the water. There are boat ramps at either end of Wharetoroa Drive, and Emery's Store is just 3 minutes up the road for supplies, snacks and the essentials. It's a peaceful, rural lakeside spot, with central Rotorua and its restaurants and attractions about a 30-minute drive away.

A car is essential out here, and there's free parking on the property with room for the boat. Emery's Store is about 3 minutes away for supplies, and Rotorua Airport is around 17 minutes. Central Rotorua and the big attractions - the city, the Redwoods, Te Puia and the geothermal spas - are all roughly a 29 to 33 minute drive.



Other Things to Note:

The bach has direct access to Lake Rotoiti - a short stroll through the front gate - with boat ramps at either end of Wharetoroa Drive, so it's a great base for boaties and anglers. There's a separate sleep-out accessed from outside, a BBQ and a big lawn, and a cot is available for a baby. Emery's Store is just up the road for supplies.
