- BATHROOMS -
Four bathrooms plus a separate toilet, spread across all three wings. The main house has the master ensuite (freestanding bath, twin basins), a family bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower and heated towel rail, and a separate toilet. The games room wing and the Pool Room each have their own bathroom.
- LIVING AREA -
The main house is the hub: an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge with a corner sofa, sliding doors to the lawn and an island where you can pull up a stool and keep an eye on the pool. Over in the games room wing there's a second lounge with board games, a kitchenette and the washing machine - a handy spot for the teens to do their own thing.
- OUTDOOR AREA -
The tiled courtyard ties everything together. The saltwater pool is unheated, so it's at its best on warm days, while the heated spa is ready year-round. Covered outdoor dining and the BBQ sit just off the courtyard, with lawn on three sides and paddocks beyond.
- PARKING -
Off-street parking for several cars on the concrete forecourt, reached by a hedged driveway shared with one neighbour.
Guest Access:
The whole place is yours - the main house, games room wing, the Pool Room suite, saltwater pool, spa pool, courtyard and lawns. Self check-in is by lockbox, so you can settle in any time from 3pm.
The Neighborhood:
Airport Oasis sits on Te Ngae Road (State Highway 30) in Ōwhata, on the semi-rural eastern edge of Rotorua, with paddocks out the back and the neighbour's cows as your welcoming committee. Te Ngae Road is the main route past Rotorua Airport, about 1km away, and carries steady traffic including trucks - you'll hear it most from the two upstairs bedrooms in the games room wing. Central Rotorua and the Lake Rotorua lakefront are 12-15 minutes' drive, the Redwoods Forest about 12, and Te Puia, the Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa about 15. Skyline Gondola & Luge, Zorb and Canopy Tours on the western side of town are 20-25 minutes.
Getting Around:
You'll want a car in Rotorua, and there's room on the forecourt for several. From the door it's about 2 minutes to Rotorua Airport, 12 to the Redwoods, 12-15 to the city centre and lakefront, 15 to Te Puia, the Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa, and 20-25 to Skyline, Zorb and Canopy Tours. Flying in? The airport is just down the road - handy for families arriving by plane and for work crews on midweek jobs.
Other Things to Note:
Swimming pool: The saltwater pool is unheated - best on warm days. Children need to be supervised around the pool and spa.
Spa pool: Heated and ready year-round.
Road: Te Ngae Road (State Highway 30) is a main route into Rotorua and carries traffic, including trucks. You'll notice it most in the two upstairs bedrooms of the games room wing, so light sleepers may prefer the main house bedrooms or the Pool Room.
The Pool Room: This suite has its own entrance from the courtyard.
Parking: The hedged driveway is shared with one neighbouring property. Your vehicles have the concrete forecourt, with room for several cars.
WIFI: 131 Mbps, handy for anyone working midweek.
Noise monitoring: A Minut device monitors noise levels and smoke in the living area. It does not record conversations or audio.
