About this Holiday House

Willowmere Cottage is located right on the shores of Lake Rotorua in Ngongotaha. Only 8kms from Rotorua City and it's attractions, but set in a lovely quiet spot. An acre of park like grounds provides plenty of off road secure parking and plenty of space for children to play. A safe sandy beach, kayaks, dinghies and fishing tackle make this an ideal holiday retreat. The cottage is older and basic, yet spacious. It has full kitchen facilities and looks straight out to Lake Rotorua. It's all about location here, so if 5 star accommodation is what you are after this may not suit. The master bedroom has a Queen Bed and Bedroom Two has two Single Beds. Professionally laundered, high quality linen. There is also a sleepout attached which provides additional bedding for 4 more people, however we do not advertise this fully as the sleepout can get damp when it has been raining. The sleepout is more of a bonus bunk room! Heating is by a log fire with plenty of wood supplied for the colder months. Absolute Lakefront. Kayaks and lifejackets. Wifi. Wanting to accommodate a larger group...3-4 families? (See our advertisement for'Willowwood Retreat' located in the same grounds. it sleeps 10 and is just behind Willowmere.

I went to the place mostly 4 years ago with my friends, after that I still remember the house until now. This time is the family trip, so Willowmere is the first choice for us to stay in Rotorua. Perfect lake view,fully functional. Had really nice four nights stay, thanks so much.

We rented both homes Willowmere and Willowood, great place for family gatherings , we had a wedding in Rotorua, so plenty of space for all family members to stay and relax , swim, use the kayaks. Thanks so much Lindsay. We had a wonderful stay, and hope to be back . Cheers Kartini, and Steve Martin.

Location! Location! Location.... Oh... lets not forget the fabulous hosts, amazing view, everything you need in the cute, interesting, real kiwi type bach. I recommend Willowmere to anyone, espcially in summer when you can sit on the lawn or deck, swim, kayak ar hang out in the very sunny, light bach. As a bonus you can row in the dinghy or take out the kayaks. And if you rent Willowmere and Willowwood together like we did you can comfortably fit a large group of people....
