181 Okere Road, Rotoiti, Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Resting on the tranquil shores of Lake Rotoiti, this 270sqm retreat is a rare discovery, offering a lifestyle that weaves together lakeside adventure and the relaxed ease of a cherished family bach. Spanning two levels and carefully oriented to embrace views of the Okere Arm, it’s a home that encourages both unwinding and connecting with those who matter.

The upper floor forms the heart of daily living, where sunlit spaces and wide windows frame the ever-changing moods of the lake. A newly installed kitchen adds contemporary style and practicality, flowing naturally into the dining area and generous lounge. The master suite provides a serene sanctuary, complete with its own conservatory balcony – an idyllic spot for morning coffee overlooking the water or peaceful evenings as the lake glimmers at dusk. A full bathroom on this level enhances comfort and simplicity.

The lower level reveals impressive flexibility. A spacious self-contained area with a kitchenette, plus an additional bedroom, creates an ideal setup for hosting extended family, welcoming guests, or exploring an Airbnb opportunity. A large conservatory and adjoining outdoor living area draw the outdoors closer, with steps guiding the way to the boatshed and jetty. Here, the lake becomes a daily companion – whether launching a paddleboard at dawn, throwing a line in the water as the sun sets, or easing into the spa while the lake provides a serene backdrop.

The 1,012sqm section features an appealing mix of native and exotic plantings that attract abundant native birdlife. A detached double garage at the top of the property ensures practical storage for vehicles, boats and toys, complemented by convenient parking right at the entrance.

The beloved Okere Store is an easy stroll away, while Rotorua and Mount Maunganui remain within comfortable commuting distance from this Okere Falls location. Equally suited to permanent living or a treasured bach, this is more than a home – it is a lakeside haven where gatherings, adventure, and quiet moments all find their place.
