Set 5 mins walk from the pristine waters of Lake Tarawera, just 20 mins from Rotorua, The Cheeky Tui is a fully self contained house in a private garden setting. We even provide a couple of Kayaks and bikes to enable you to fully enjoy the beautiful lake and surroundings.

The accommodation features 3 bedrooms, sleeping up to 8 people.

There are 3 bedrooms; one with a king bed, a twin room & one with two sets of bunks - great for the kids!

The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave oven etc. The dining room opens onto a cobblestoned courtyard with an outdoor eating area with a bbq. There is also a kent fire & heat pump for winter so is lovely & warm.

If you have children a portacot and high chair are available, along with plenty of board games etc to keep them entertained. The property has a large fenced area for safety for children (& dogs).

Located next to a reserve, with a playground & close to boat ramp and a good swimming beach, this is the perfect location for your next family holiday. Well behaved & house-trained dogs are welcome and there is even room for a boat!

The 4 bedroom, Fidgety Fantail holiday cottage,(also owned by us) is located at the bottom of the driveway, making it perfect for 2 families or friends to rent one each. Please contact us if you are interested in this option.
