Lake Okareka is quiet and secluded, however a quick 10 minute drive to the Redwoods at Rotorua. The town centre is only 15 minutes away. We had the best of both worlds where we could relax in the hot tub and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Win is a wonderful host and her little touches, especially with breakfast items was very much appreciated. We also had the added bonus of going on lovely walks around Lake Okareka which we would not have known about if we had not stayed here.
