The Shepherds Legacy hut with lake and mountain views/pet friendly

This beautifully appointed, fully self-contained hut features a luxurious queen bed, cosy sofa, a well-equipped kitchen, and a stylish bathroom with a shower, vanity, and flushing cartridge toilet. There is an easy to use wireless projector if you want to watch a movie.
Step out onto your private deck to enjoy the Weber BBQ, a fire pit for stargazing evenings, and a romantic outdoor claw foot bath with a privacy screen—perfect for soaking while taking in the stunning views.

The setting is truly special—overlooking paddocks where sheep and fallow deer graze, just a short stroll to the shores of Lake Tarawera at Stoney Point. Guests are welcome to use our kayaks or Canadian canoe to explore the lake, and breakfast packs or platters can be ordered to make your stay even more relaxing.

With so much to see and do nearby—discover the Buried Village, enjoy trout fishing, walk to Tarawera Falls or hike the scenic Tarawera Trail. The sparkling Blue Lake and towering Redwoods Forest are just a short drive away, as is horse trekking at Lake Okareka and world-class mountain biking. You can also take a lake taxi to the natural hot pools and Hot Water Beach, or visit Rotorua’s many geothermal attractions—only 20 minutes by car.

Whether you're looking for adventure or tranquility, Shepherds Legacy offers a unique and unforgettable glamping experience in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful lake districts.
