Perfectly positioned to capture sweeping rural views, this impressive lifestyle property blends timeless character with modern refinement. The 384 sq m residence is warm, inviting, and beautifully crafted, with native timbers adding natural richness and harmony with the land. The home spans two levels, offering five generous bedrooms and multiple living areas designed for both family life and entertaining. The master suite includes a stylish en-suite, while the main bathroom has been tastefully updated.

These flow effortlessly onto an expansive patio where panoramic views provide an ever-changing backdrop to daily life. Year-round comfort is assured with a log burner and two heat pumps. Practicality is equally well considered, with a three-car garage plus a new standalone single garage ideal for storage or workshop use. The 2.7773 ha (more or less) block is entered via a private tree enhanced driveway and offers gently rolling land with facilities including small loose boxes and a tack room, perfectly suited for ponies or calf rearing. Located in the welcoming Reporoa community, set within a picturesque valley equidistant to Rotorua and Taupo, this country home combines everyday comfort with lifestyle living in one superb package.

Originally designed and built in 1961 as architect Guy Natusch’s own Bach, this distinctive Lake Rotoiti retreat is a compelling example of enduring mid-century design in an extraordinary waterfront setting.

Positioned on the lake’s edge, the home has been tastefully refurbished, introducing contemporary comfort while carefully preserving the character and integrity of its origins. Thoughtfully selected period fixtures and furnishings complement the architecture, creating a home that feels authentic, considered and entirely at ease within its surroundings.

At its heart, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area draws the lake into everyday life. Beautiful water views form a natural backdrop, while doors open to the deck, lawn and lake beyond, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. A wood burner brings warmth and ambience through the cooler months.

Accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, complemented by the main bathroom and separate laundry. A later addition provides a wonderfully versatile third bedroom, bunkroom or rumpus, complete with a heat pump and offering an ideal retreat for children, teenagers or additional guests.

The west-facing position is a particular highlight, capturing afternoon and evening sun and creating an idyllic setting for long summer days that extend naturally into evenings by the lake. Situated within a peaceful bay shared with only two other lakefront properties, there is a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, removed from both road traffic and the lake’s main thoroughfare. The sheltered waters immediately in front of the property provide an inviting environment for swimming, paddling and family recreation.

Here, the quintessential Lake Rotoiti lifestyle begins quite literally at the lawn’s edge. The property offers true lawn-to-lake living, with the ability to launch directly from the lawn, a one-third share in a private jetty and exclusive use of a boatshed secured through a legal easement.

A nearby ski lane adds to the possibilities on the water, while the lake’s natural thermal waters and the renowned Manupirua Hot Pools are all part of the wider Rotoiti experience.

Architectural provenance, thoughtful refurbishment and an exceptional connection to the water combine to make this a particularly special Lake Rotoiti retreat. More than six decades after it was created, Guy Natusch’s original Bach remains a place designed around exactly what matters here, the lake, the sun and the simple pleasure of time spent at the water’s edge.

Mid-Century Design, Timeless Lakefront Living

Privately positioned beyond an elegant gated entrance, 159 Kawaha Point Road is an enchanting lake property where established gardens, character architecture and an exceptional lakeside setting come together across two titles.

A hot mix driveway and hand laid stone curbing winds beneath a canopy of mature trees and lush plantings, creating an immediate sense of seclusion. At its heart sits a beautifully cared for 1950's weatherboard and stone residence, elevated above Lake Rotorua and enjoying captivating views across the water to the city, Mount Tarawera and surrounding rural landscape.

Arranged over two levels, the home offers generous and versatile living while retaining the warmth and personality of its era. Upstairs, the spacious master suite opens to a balcony overlooking the lake, with a shared ensuite also serving the adjoining guest bedroom. A formal lounge with gas open fire, elegant dining room positioned to enjoy the sunset and sunny breakfast nook provide a collection of inviting spaces from which to relax, entertain and enjoy the outlook. The kitchen, finished with composite marble benchtops, is both practical and beautifully positioned within the home.

Downstairs provides excellent flexibility for family and guests. A large bedroom with ensuite and kitchenette creates the option of a private guest wing or self-contained retreat, complemented by a study or second living area, an additional bedroom and bathroom. An expansive laundry, built-in wine area and excellent storage add further practicality, while underfloor and central gas heating ensure year-round comfort.

It is outdoors, however, where the magic of this property becomes unmistakable. Mature specimen trees, flowering gardens and established planting create a wonderfully private, park-like environment, with pathways leading down through the grounds to the lake.

At the water’s edge, a flat lawn provides an idyllic place to sit and watch the changing light across the lake. Two jetties, an extensive boardwalk and a traditional boathouse with winch and haul-out facilities make the waterfront as functional as it is beautiful. From boating and swimming on summer days to quiet evenings beside the water as the city lights appear across the lake, this is a setting to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

Kawaha Point remains one of Rotorua’s most admired lakeside locations, valued for its established character, tranquillity and proximity to the city. Approximately six minutes from the CBD, the property is also conveniently placed for Rotorua's restaurants, Redwood Forest and renowned recreational attractions.

Private, established, and rich in character, this property presents a rare opportunity to secure an exceptional piece of Rotorua lakefront.

Timeless Lakeside Living at Kawaha Point

At the end of a private road, tucked into established native bush on a secluded Lake Rotoiti peninsula, this remarkable property feels wonderfully removed from the world around it. With no neighbouring homes visible and views of the lake through mature trees, it is a place defined by privacy, character and an enduring connection to its natural surroundings.

Originally built in the late 1950s, the Lockwood home was later extended by architect Bill Massey, creating a distinctive residence that has evolved over time while retaining the warmth and personality of its origins. Once an artist’s retreat, there is a sense of creativity and history woven throughout the home.

The original ground floor centres around an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with doors opening to a wrap-around deck and outdoor entertaining space amongst the native trees. A separate lounge provides a more intimate place to retreat, while a bedroom and adjoining wheelchair-friendly bathroom offer practical accommodation on this level. Timber joinery complements the Lockwood character, with a woodburner and heat pump providing year-round comfort.

The architectural addition above brings another dimension to the home. Reached via a striking stairwell framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing, the upper level draws the surrounding bush and lake outlook into the interior. A generous bedroom with adjoining lounge and walk-in robe opens to its own private deck, while an additional room provides flexibility as a single bedroom or office, complete with wardrobe and loft space.

A mezzanine overlooking the dining area below creates one of the home’s most memorable spaces and also houses the recently tuned grand piano.  Music can float to the dining and living area below. Leading from here is a further large double bedroom with its own toilet and hand basin. A bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet completes the upper level.

The substantial basement provides an impressive amount of additional space and has been used as a workshop area, making it ideal for projects, hobbies or practical lake-life pursuits. A workbench is already in place, with the basement also incorporating laundry facilities and a bathroom with separate shower and toilet. The home also incorporates a garden shed with magnificent lake views and a separate area for tool storage.

At the lake edge, the lifestyle becomes unmistakably Rotoiti, with it's own jetty for mooring fishing boats or yachts, and a platform for morning breakfasts.  A shared private boat ramp makes access to the water wonderfully convenient. Directly across the lake are the renowned Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools, one of the lake's most treasured destinations, almost on the door step.

Private, intriguing and rich in character and history, this is far more than a conventional lake house. It is a secluded Lake Rotoiti retreat where architecture, native bush and the water come together in a setting that feels genuinely unique.

A Hidden Retreat on Lake Rotoiti

Privately positioned across approximately 2.9 hectares, 379 Tauranga Direct Road presents an exceptionally versatile lifestyle opportunity where family living, income and business can comfortably coexist.

Elevated and nicely removed from the working areas of the property, the substantial four-bedroom main residence enjoys privacy amongst established planting and a wonderful sense of space. Generous living areas provide room for family life to unfold, while the decking creates an easy connection outdoors for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the rural surroundings.

Adding another dimension is the well appointed, standalone two-bedroom cottage currently utilised as Airbnb accommodation. Completely separate from the main home, it provides an attractive income opportunity while equally lending itself to extended family, guests or independent living.

A further standalone building is home to an operating beauty studio, with two treatment rooms and its own facilities. Well presented and established for its current purpose, it offers an excellent work-from-home environment with the valuable separation of business and private life. For future owners, the possibilities for this space extend well beyond its present use. 

The land itself is highly practical. Nine flat grazing paddocks are complemented by multiple farm buildings, extensive shedding, stock facilities and generous vehicle access, providing genuine functionality for those with animals, equipment, hobbies or simply a need for additional space.

Despite its rural setting, convenience is a real strength. Positioned on the Tauranga route, the property offers easy access towards the coast while Ngongotaha and Rotorua are both readily accessible for schooling, shopping and everyday amenities. 

This is a property that can adapt remarkably well to different stages of life, a family lifestyle, home and income, business base, multi-generational living, or a combination of them all.

With the owners transferring and committed to their next move, their instructions are clear: all offers are welcomed and will be seriously considered.

42 Fryer Road Hamurana Rotorua

There are places on Lake Rotoiti that are admired, and then there are those that are so tightly held they rarely become available.  Set within the tightly held waters of Hauparu Bay, this exceptional freehold lakeside property presents an increasingly scarce opportunity to secure a substantial piece of one of the lake’s most coveted settings.

Launch the boat from your own jetty, stroll from the deck for a morning swim or share an evening drink with family and friends as the sun sets. Sheltered, private and renowned for its deep water, Hauparu Bay has long been regarded as one of the lake’s most desirable enclaves.

At the heart of the property is a wonderfully authentic four-bedroom family bach, relaxed in character and designed around the lake. The main living level is open and generous, with a modern log burner creating a natural gathering point alongside the kitchen and dining areas. Expansive glazing and French doors draw the view inside and open to the renewed deck, lawn and water beyond, creating an effortless connection between the house and the lake.

A double bedroom, bathroom and laundry are also located on this level, with internal access to the garage. Upstairs, three further bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests, while a sun-filled conservatory offers a peaceful place to read, retreat or simply sit and watch life on the lake.

Native hardwood floors, well-stocked bookshelves and the easy informality of a true Kiwi bach give the home an enduring warmth. Outside, the practicalities of lake life are exceptionally well catered for. The boat garage features through-access doors directly to the slipway, while a separate shed provides storage for kayaks, water skis and all the essentials of summer.

The property has an equally special history. Purchased almost 40 years ago by Sir David Beattie, New Zealand’s 14th Governor-General, it has remained in the family ever since, enjoyed by successive generations as their much-loved Rotoiti retreat.

Comfortable and inviting exactly as it stands, there is also exciting potential and scope to renovate or enhance, in time. 

Days here are shaped by the water, an early morning ski, trout fishing, boating across the lake, children swimming from the jetty or long afternoons on the lawn as the sun moves across the bay.

After almost four decades in the same family, this remarkable Hauparu Bay property is ready for its next chapter. A rare holding, an extraordinary position, and the opportunity to create a Lake Rotoiti legacy of your own.
