About this property
The Shepherds Legacy hut with lake and mountain views/pet friendly
This beautifully appointed, fully self-contained hut features a luxurious queen bed, cosy sofa, a well-equipped kitchen, and a stylish bathroom with a shower, vanity, and flushing cartridge toilet. There is an easy to use wireless projector if you want to watch a movie. Step out onto your private deck to enjoy the Weber BBQ, a fire pit for stargazing evenings, and a romantic outdoor claw foot bath with a privacy screen—perfect for soaking while taking in the stunning views.
The setting is truly special—overlooking paddocks where sheep and fallow deer graze, just a short stroll to the shores of Lake Tarawera at Stoney Point. Guests are welcome to use our kayaks or Canadian canoe to explore the lake, and breakfast packs or platters can be ordered to make your stay even more relaxing.
With so much to see and do nearby—discover the Buried Village, enjoy trout fishing, walk to Tarawera Falls or hike the scenic Tarawera Trail. The sparkling Blue Lake and towering Redwoods Forest are just a short drive away, as is horse trekking at Lake Okareka and world-class mountain biking. You can also take a lake taxi to the natural hot pools and Hot Water Beach, or visit Rotorua’s many geothermal attractions—only 20 minutes by car.
Whether you're looking for adventure or tranquility, Shepherds Legacy offers a unique and unforgettable glamping experience in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful lake districts.
Located in Lake Tarawera, this cabin is in the mountains. Polynesian Spa and Buried Village are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Rotorua Arts Village and Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre.

Beautiful hut and location! Wonderful fit out, super cosy and spectacular views from the hut/deck. Owners super accommodating. Would be epic in the winter with all the blankets and pillows. We will be back
Just what I needed to get away on my own. Was beautiful and enjoyed the tuis feeding on the flax arms length away. I felt very safe as was in a secured locked area. The views were amazing. Would love to go again

Jacks hut was next level! Beautiful set up, outdoor bath, brazier, everything you need for a romantic getaway. Optional extras were amazing, platter and food hampers made it extra special. Will definitely be booking again 💫
We absolutely loved this place, right from when we walked in. The hut and set up is so cool! The hosts have thought of everything you might need! The photos do not do this place justice!! We will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone! Only thing is the bed is short, which could be a problem for taller people
