Surrounded by native bush and bird life, with breathtaking lake views inside and out- this is a true lake house retreat. With direct access to Lake Rotoiti and your own private jetty for kayaks, boats and swimming- Okere Oasis has it all. Okere Oasis offers privacy and space and is well suited for both small and large groups. All this and only 20 minutes to the heart of Rotorua city. This expansive home is split over three levels, offering 4 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 modern bathrooms, comfortably sleeping up to 14 guests (maximum 10 adults recommended). The mezzanine sitting room and open plan kitchen, dining and living areas are all cleverly designed to capture the breathtaking lake vista. These areas open on to a wraparound deck, complete with BBQ and outdoor furniture, just perfect for alfresco dining. The master bedroom on the top floor is generously sized and contains a kitchenette, office desk and ensuite bathroom with corner spa bath. Also on this level is a mezzanine floor with two fold out sofa beds and the most majestic lake views. On the main living level there are two king bedrooms, each with ensuite, and both opening out on to the elevated lake facing deck. On the lower level is an oversized open plan room with 4 single beds, a ping pong table, and bifold doors which lead out to a patio and grass area. Theres also a designer bathroom on this level complete with freestanding bathtub. A custom built staircase will lead you from the house to the lake via a short native bush track. Down here you’ll find a grassy reserve on the waters edge. So bring the boat or jet ski, or use the kayaks provided to explore and adventure on Lake Rotoiti. A must do in the area is the Manupirua Hot Spring Pools in the middle of the lake - - accessed only by boat or water taxi. For those needing to stay connected we have WIFI, Alexa, and multiple large screen smart TV’s. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances and there's even a basketball hoop in the front yard. For warmth in winter we have a wood burning fireplace in the living room, two heat pumps, several portable heaters, and extra blankets. Okere Falls is home to several nature walks and waterfalls, white water rafting, Rotorua Zip Lines and the ever popular Okere Falls Cafe and Store. The redwood forest (home to some of the worlds best mountain biking trails) is only 15 minutes away, and Rotorua city is an easy 20 minute drive. The house can sleep up to 14, but we recommend a maximum of 10 adults. The house configuration is as follows: Top floor: \- King bed in the master bedroom. Ensuite off master bedroom. \- 2x sofa beds in the open mezannine area (note this area can't be closed off- please refer to listing photos). The sofa beds are more suited to children than adults.

We were inside a lot because of the very wet weather and there was plenty of room and comfort. The only down side was that the painted decks were extremely slippery in the wet and a few of us slipped over on them. ##### Linda G.

Each room came with its own private bathroom, which added a layer of convenience and privacy. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, and every corner of the house was well-maintained. Additionally, the views from the property were impressive, offering a serene and beautiful backdrop to our stay.
