Stunning Location
We had a wonderful stay at Pohutukawa Lake House. We found the area by accident and had no idea that Lake Tarawera was such a beautiful location. The house overlooks the lake with stunning views from the deck. The house is very pleasant and well-appointed. It is quiet and private. We loved the busy bird-life and extensive gardens. There is plenty of room so it would be well-suited to couples or families.

Great house in a gorgeous location
The house was lovely, just as described, and very clean and comfortable. The views of the lake and surrounding area are amazing! If the weather is nice and you leave the windows and doors open you hear nothing but birdsong. The kitchen was large and well-furnished with all the equipment we needed to cook our own meals. The washer and dryer worked great (the dryer is in the garage, which surprised these two Americans, but it was perfect once we realized where it was). Would highly recommend!

Long weekend
Down for Garden Festival + decided to stay out at this lovely spot at the lake. Kitchen big enough for 3 women to prepare and cook! Fire being set for our arrival was much appreciated. Good instruction + recommendations booklet. Great views, sunny living areas, amazing deck off the master bedroom. Easy walks in the area and by the lake.
