Nestled on the very edge of Lake Rotoiti, this charming lakeside retreat captures everything we love about classic New Zealand holiday living. From the moment you arrive, the sparkling water sets the scene, so close it feels like an extension of the home itself. Designed for relaxed days and long summer evenings, the heart of the bach is its open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. These spaces flow seamlessly onto a covered veranda and expansive decking, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Whether you’re cooking up a feast, unwinding with a book, or gathering around the table for cards, the lake is always front and centre. Accommodation includes two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and two bonus snugs perfect for extra bunks comfortably hosting up to nine guests. Outside, the sweeping lawn adds even more flexibility, with space for tents, campervans, and friends or family keen to join the holiday fun. Set on a generous 2,402 sqm leasehold section shared with just one other sublessor, the property benefits from a rare 50/50 lease split, an appealing and affordable opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Lake Rotoiti’s most sought-after locations. Picture early-morning paddles, children splashing at the water’s edge, and evenings spent under the veranda as the sun slips behind the hills. And when you’re ready for a treat, the iconic Okere Store, renowned for great coffee and its laid-back craft beer garden, is just a short swim or paddle away. Leasehold: $24,500 per annum for a ½ share. ($12,250 each)
