Our holiday home is at Okawa Bay, on the edge of Lake Rotoiti, close to Rotorua. It has simply the most incredible view over the lake and surrounding hills. It is on two levels with upstairs comprising very large open plan living/dining/kitchen area with high quality furniture and a brand new granite kitchen. Phone fax and fast satellite Internet for your notebook computer. On this level also is the master bedroom with queen size bed, dressing room and TV. The fully tiled en suite bathroom has a walk in shower with a great lake view. Lounge has gas fire, stereo, Video, "Sky" satellite TV and lots of books and games, and Kitchen has stove, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, as well as all usual minor appliances. Dining table seats eight. Both living area and upstairs bedroom have floor to ceiling, wall to wall glass so that you can watch the sun rise over the lake and hills from your bed, and both open through sliding doors onto a large patio deck with outdoor furniture and BBQ. Also on this level is a fifth bedroom/second living room complex with study and en suite bathroom- sleeps three in one single bed plus a folding double bed settee. TY and Sky TV with 30 channels.
Downstairs there are three further bedrooms and the main bathroom (includes a double indoor/outdoor jacuzzi bath with a great lake view plus a shower, handbasin and toilet) Bathroom plus main large downstairs bedroom (two single beds) look out over lake. One other bedroom has two single beds, and the fourth bedroom has one bed plus study desk. If needed there is also plenty of room for the two camp beds in the lounge. The house has a huge parking area and a big garage/workshop with table tennis, and it is set in a quarter acre fully landscaped garden of trees and lawns to the lake edge, where there is a jetty, private sandy beach and big BBQ area. On the beach are a 12 foot sailing catamaran and a 13 foot dinghy with oars and outboard motor for your use. Life jackets and trout fishing gear are included- Lake Rotoiti is said to hold the biggest trophy trout in NZ (although my best so far was tiny at only 8lbs!)
