We had a great stay at on Lake Okareka. The apartment is very well equipped and easy accessible with the parking just outside and a ramp leading to the door. Traveling with a baby and a pram this was super useful.
The apartment is very sunny and has a nice little balcony with a bit of lake view. The curtains in both the living room and the bedroom ensure that it is nice and cool during the day and that you can sleep in the morning.
We particularly enjoyed the walk around the lake, which starts just 10m up from the apartment. It’s a pram friendly path, too.
There are no cafes or shops at Lake Okareka, but it’s a 10min drive to Rotorua and just 5min drive from Blue Lake for a swim.
We stayed 4 days and can warmly recommend the place.
