The Neighborhood:
Okere Lake House sits just a short drive from the charming settlement of Okere Falls, nestled at the inlet of Lake Rotoiti on the Kaituna River. This scenic location offers a 3 km bushwalk through native forest with four waterfalls, including the historic Okere Falls and Tutea Falls—the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall at 7 m. Thrill-seekers can kayak or raft grade‑3/4 rapids, while others enjoy fishing in trout pools, picnicking at the reserve, or relaxing by the historic hydro‑power station ruins. The local store serves great coffee, hosts community events like beer festivals, and has a beer garden perfect for unwinding.
