Tranquil Retreat with Breathtaking Lake Views: Renowed for Trout Fishing
Located just 27 minutes away from Rotorua and its exciting attractions like the Redwood Forest, Gondola Luge, bike tracks, and jet boating, this place is a paradise for nature lovers. You'll find a hot natural local pool just 5 minutes away by car or 10 minutes by boat, making it a boatie's dream.
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby fishing spots, but a fishing license is required, which can be conveniently purchased at the local petrol station. If you're up for some kayaking, there's one available for use.
The surrounding natural beauty allows you to wake up to the delightful sounds of birds. If you need to grab a bite or refuel, the nearest cafe, takeaways, and petrol station are just a short 10-minute drive away.
Please note that the 1970's caravan is a 4 berth, suitable for up to 4 people, and guests are required to use the house's bathroom, toilet, shower, and laundry facilities, located close by. It has been thoughtfully renovated with comfortable furniture, including a queen and couch that can open out to be a double bed.
Linen is provided, and smoking is not allowed inside the caravan. Sorry no dogs.

Caravan was small, but tidy, right on the shore of Lake Roititi. Hosts were welcoming and full of good tips about the area. Kayaks were a bit small for me- I may be over large- but fun paddling about. Good value, but we might be getting a bit old for the caravan life, lol.
Amazing spot right on the lake, perfect little place to unwind with everything we needed. Hosts were super lovely highly recommend. Thank you

Excellent little stay in a Fairy Graden with amazing view and made very comfortably 👌 its magical! We loved it ❤️ kayaking, paddle boarding and bush walk, cafe and take aways near by. Tranquil retreat!,amazing hosts - Recommend!
Loved staying here. Had some peaceful time on my own. Great little caravan fir a couple. Pam even turned all the fairy lights on. So pretty. Even with the Labour weekend storm with the winds thrashing the water on the lake, it was so cosy. Bathroom is inside the house but is easily accessible throughout my stay. Great walk nearby as well. Pam and Neville are great host and supplied everything you'd need for a pleasant stay.

Very friendly hosts. Great being so near the water and having the use of kayaks. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of walks to enjoy in the area. A serene and restful place which we hope to return to with such good value for money.
My dad and I had a great stay here! Pam and Neville let us borrow their kayaks, so we got to do a sunset kayak of the lake. It was beautiful. We had a great time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this beautiful lakeside paradise. The hosts were lovely and welcoming and this was the most ideal location for visiting all of the must see tourist attractions of Rotorua. With close proximity to lake Rotoiti, and the local playground. This was an unforgettable stay.

The property was cute and cosy. Pam and Neville are lovely and welcoming. The scenery is beautiful as is the bush track/walk nearby.
This is my 3rd stay at this wonderful place and both me and my 8 year old boy loved it. Pam and Neville are just lovely hosts and everything is just so easy to enjoy. The garden is beautiful the location right by the lake and playground is perfect. We stayed in the caravan which is clean and has everything needed. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We love staying here with you

Pam and Neville are gems, so helpful and full of local knowledge. They even took us to see glow worms in the forest near them and Pam took us kayaking. Lovely people, lovely location!
Wonderful to stay in the garden caravan with my young son. Pam and Nev are wonderful hosts, the Caravan is spotless and perfect place to stay. Brilliant location right on the lakeside, playground, bush walks, golf and Rotorua just 20 minutes or so away. This was our second visit and we had such a good time. Thank you for having us.

The owners most importantly are so warm and kind .Thank you for our wonderful experience
Pam and Nev were amazing hosts, we arrived to some lovely home baking and a warm and cozy atmosphere. It was beautiful waking up and having our morning cuppas at the lake while my son played on the playground. Would highly recommend booking here if you are after some quite time away from the city with beautiful views.

The property is right beside the lake, with a beautiful view! perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, walking, and biking, via a forest track that links you to the next lake. The hosts are so nice, offering homemade baking upon your arrival and letting you borrow their kayaks.
Spent a lovely 4 nights at Hinehopu, winter fishing, bush walking and hot pool swimming in the surrounding area. Pam and Nev are superb hosts, always willing to help with information and home-baked cookies. I had a wonderful time. Thank you both.
Beautiful spot à few metres from the lake. Very peaceful. Lovely arrival with a wee cake waiting for us. Great communication from owner. (note:hot pools (5mins away) no longer open, other hot pools accessible by boat only)
What a lovely three nights my two kids and I had in this quaint caravan set right on the lake. Pam and Nev have created a peaceful and quaint environment which almost feels like camping but with all the home comforts. Awesome hosts and a fantastic location to explore the lake, bush and local spots which they will share with you. Thanks so much and will see you again soon!
I had a great 2 days stay. Love my surroundings and scenery . Wish could have stayed longer. It was raining on the final day and didn't manage to enjoy the lake and view. Tq Pam and hubby for being a great host!
Pam and Neville took care of all our needs, we were able to use the kayaks and they took us on a walk to see the glow worms in the bush. The caravan was neat and tidy with an induction cooker and fridge etc. It felt cozy and comfortable and a great view of the lake. I’m sure we will be back!
