Really nice location and home setup for our group - we had four adults and five kids (four are teens) and we fit fairly comfortably around the space. Lounge setup is great for movie watching or for teens to sprawl around with their individual...

Guests love the relaxed vibe of the Zodiac Bay neighborhood. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac with direct access to Lake Rotorua from our backyard (just a 30-second walk!), it’s the perfect spot to unwind, with peaceful lakefront walks and beautiful views right at your doorstep. But when adventure calls, you're only 5 minutes from the Skyline Gondola and luge, where you can take in the views from above or race down the hillside on a luge track! Mini Golf with Giant Flemish bunnies or Zorbing are also just a short drive away from us too. Rotorua town center is also just a short 8 minute drive away, offering great cafes, shops, and local gems to explore. For ultimate relaxation, unwind in the thermal pools at Polynesian Spa or Wai-Ariki Hot Pools and Spa. And if you're interested in local culture, the Mitai Maori Village is just a 5-minute drive from us offering a deep dive into Maori heritage. It’s easy to explore the best of Rotorua while enjoying a peaceful lakeside retreat to return to.
