    The Space:

    Cooper's Lakeside is a charming lakefront cabin right on the shore of Lake Rotorua at Holdens Bay - breathtaking lake views from the windows, kayaks on hand to paddle straight out, and a cosy fireplace for the evenings. It's a peaceful, unwind-and-recharge spot that's still only a few minutes from the airport and an easy run into town.

    ⭐️ Right on the shores of Lake Rotorua - stunning lake views and sunsets

    ⭐️ Complimentary kayaks and life jackets - explore the lake from the doorstep

    ⭐️ Stroll along the beach to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve - a huge children's playground and boat ramp

    ⭐️ Sleeps 5 - ideal for a family or a couple of couples

    - BEDROOMS -

    Bedroom 1: Queen bed

    Bedroom 2: Double bed with a single bunk above

    Sleeps 5 in total. All bedding and linen supplied.



    - BATHROOMS -

    One full bathroom.



    - LIVING AREA -

    An inviting living room with an indoor fireplace (firewood provided), opening to the kitchen and dining area - all with lake views. Perfect for a cosy evening in after a day on the water.



    - OUTDOOR AREA & LAKE -

    The cabin sits right on the lake, with direct access to the water and complimentary kayaks (life jackets included) for exploring. A stroll along the beach brings you to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve with its huge playground and boat ramp. Settle in for the sunsets over Lake Rotorua.



    - PARKING & BIKE STORAGE -

    Free parking on the premises and on the street, plus a garage with a bike wash and bike racks - handy for the mountain bikers.



    Guest Access:

    You'll have the whole cabin to yourselves - both bedrooms, the full bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining area - along with lake access and the kayaks. Sheets, towels and the basics are all provided.



    The Neighborhood:

    Cooper's Lakeside sits in peaceful Holdens Bay, right on the eastern shore of Lake Rotorua - a tranquil lakeside pocket with the airport just five minutes away and the city centre an easy drive around the bay. A stroll along the beach brings you to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its huge children's playground and a boat ramp - great for families and anyone bringing a boat. You're also close to the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest for walking and mountain biking, with Te Puia's geysers, the lakefront hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa, and Skyline's gondola and luge all within reach - the best of both worlds, lakeside calm with everything close by.



    Getting Around:

    You'll want your own vehicle here, with free parking on site and on the street. Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its playground and boat ramp, is a short walk along the beach. Rotorua Airport is just 5 minutes by car, the Redwoods around 12, Te Puia and central Rotorua about 15, and Skyline, Canopy Tours and Zorb roughly 25 minutes over on the western side of the lake.



    Other Things to Note:

    WIFI runs at around 53 Mbps. There's a garage with a bike wash and racks for the mountain bikers. Being right on the lake, we do get lake flies, especially at dusk as the light changes - they don't bite and are more of an annoyance than anything (they're what feeds the lake's famous trout), but it pays to keep the windows closed at night, especially with the lights on inside.

Rotarua fun

We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful lakeside cabin. It’s the perfect getaway spot quiet & tranquil. We were right at the lake for walks & sunshine. Beds were comfortable with amenities up to date. Plenty of hot water & soft towels.

Could not have been better

The cabin is cozy and charming! It was a pleasure to wake up each morning to have coffee and watch the birds on the lake. The location is superb ! Close to all the key tourist spots without being inside of one yourself. Plenty of clean towels, comfy bedding and the kitchen has everything .

A fantastic spot beside the main lake. The property is clean and well maintained. The attractions of Rotorua can be enjoyed and then you can relax in a secluded spot by the lake. I highly recommend this property.
