Laze by the Lake
Nestled in lush bush, Laze by the Lake is your dream escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
The minimalist and trendy open plan living faces the main attraction - the panoramic view of sparkling Lake Rotoiti will take your breath away!
Living and dining at Laze by the Lake is a free-flowing area with huge bi-fold doors opening out to the expansive deck overlooking the lake - a magic place for sundowners. You'll love having your very own picnic table for summer breakfasts, lunches and dinners, before heading out for hours of fun on the water.
There's plenty of room to park the boat, as well as 3 kayaks onsite (2x adult and 1x child size) to take out for a paddle across the tranquil lake. Laze by the Lake has an outdoor shower for a quick rinse off, before heading to the games room!
A true holiday highlight, the games room features a pool table, Space Invaders arcade machine, TV with SKY and plenty of board games and puzzles. This is the ultimate hangout zone for kids big and small!
Leave your worries behind and Laze by the Lake today!

Quiet getaway
Love the remote location and the beautiful view from inside and outside the bach. The kids had fun with the games and pool table. Heat is mostly from a wood burning stove.

Beautiful Lake House
Amazing property with an amazing view, we went for a boating weekend and this house is the perfect location. Boat ramp just down the road, ski lane right out in front of the house and hot springs so close to the house. We loved our trip and can't wait to come back.
