Cottage vacation rentals in Rotorua District

This is a fantastic place to stay with all you need. Great indoor, outdoor living. Beautiful lake and easy home for all to enjoy. Lynley was very responsive and accommodating and we’d happily recommend and stay again.

Very professional management. Cottage is in the front yard of a private residence, but very private. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood so definitely need a car to get to other parts of town. Hot tub was a bonus!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kearu’s Nest. The beds were so comfortable, and the linen was beautiful. After a magical day on the lake, it was amazing to come home to an outdoor fire and relax in the spa. The birdlife was incredible, and the tūī birdsong made it even more special. With just a short walk to the lake, we made the most of early morning swims. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Ange and Dave!

The cottage is private, spacious and homey, over looking a pretty valley. We felt good being there and sad to leave. The location is 30 minutes or less from Rotorua and maybe 50 minutes from Huka falls. Watching the Milky Way from the hot tub was a special treat!

This was an amazing accommodation. We loved the view of the lake. And The fire place kept the place cozy and overall so relaxing and peaceful (even with a screaming baby). That plus all the amenities (full kitchen, an office area), it was perfect our family!

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

The most caring host I’ve ever dealt with on Airbnb, very understanding and kind, this will be the only place I’ll come back to stay at when I’m back with my family in Rotorua, next time my wife will do all the booking ;) lol

Really great cottage in amazing surroundings. It was fabulous to be able to take the dog and wander around the farm and see the animals. The cottage is comfortable and functionable rather than luxurious. This suited exactly what I was looking for. Very nicely located near the airport and supermarket, while still a short drive to town and the MTB park.

Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

Great old school batch that felt very chill. Awesome to get to use the kayaks and lovely walks nearby. Added bonus was the toy box and the box of duplo which made the stay so much easier with the kids!

Dan's place is just a piece of paradise! Right in front of the lake, with private jetty and private ramp, away from the main road, totally safe for children. Highly recommend! Dan is very responsive and welcoming, makes you feel like home. Looking forward to return again!

Nadia’s cottage was charming and felt very homey. The neighborhood seemed quiet and walkable. Off street parking and 2 individual bedrooms with three beds in total would make it a great place for a larger group. Beatiful, lush vegetation surround the cottage. This was a very enjoyable and comfortable place to spend the night. The location was easy to find and Nadia was very responsive.

Great spot! Driving there for the first time feels like it's quite far out of town but, once you drive back into town, you realise you're very close. The bathroom setup was odd to begin with (shower in a separate room and basin etc as part of the laundry setup) but it actually worked really well :-) My friend and I were in town to run the Rotorua Half Marathon and we'll be staying here again next year. I highly recommend!

What a find!!!! Incredible space. Rob clearly loves his home and was thorough in his instructions, which made our stay AMAZING. Thank you, Rob. Top fella

We loved staying at Alison and Marc's place. The house was very comfortable and in such a truly beautiful location by the lake. What made made it very special though was how kind and hospitable Alison and Marc were, over and above what we have experienced before. They were also very quick to respond when we needed help. We had been given all the information in the first place but were having a simple moment and they sorted us out!

Thank you Rachel. The stay was wonderful and peaceful. You have a lovely space and I would recommend.

The love shack was a gorgeous secluded spot that is perfect for any type of getaway! The hosts were so delightful and had no hesitation with allowing us to charge our EV ,which was so helpful! The love shack itself is beautiful, a very modern decor and it is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need! We will definitely return!

We loved our stay! Was wonderful to be able to tie up our boat at the jetty and visit the hot pools. A very comfortable stay, and the kitchen was very well fitted out for cooking. Was also a great little walk to the cafe. Beautiful views and native birds. Alec was a great host and really appreaciate his great proactive communications. Would love to stay again.

We loved this place and wish we could have stayed longer. It was peaceful, comfortable, and private. A great place to relax, but also close to things to do. We got caught in some nasty weather while we were there, and the home was cozy throughout. Our hosts very helpfully allowed us to stay a few hours late on our last day to avoid the roads in a downpour and gale-force winds as the storm passed, which was their suggestion and very kind of them to offer.
