483 Spencer Road, Lake Tarawera, Rotorua

Rainbows Return

Welcome to the kind of property that tells stories… fishing stories, family stories, and lake stories that last generations.

Set proudly on the waterfront at beautiful Lake Tarawera, this superb property captures everything that makes this location so tightly held and so rarely offered.

Along the boundary, a crystal-clear rainbow trout spawning stream gently winds its way to the lake - a natural treasure that sets the tone for a true angler's retreat - one of only two properties on the lake.

The home itself embraces a rustic fishing lodge charm - warm, welcoming, and designed for gathering. Open plan living, dining and kitchen areas are anchored by breathtaking lake views, with the water always front and centre. Large windows frame the ever-changing blues of the lake and sky, ensuring the outlook is never far from sight.

The stream mouth fishes well for the fly fisherman over winter, virtually a private fishing secret.

Three generous bedrooms plus a dedicated bunkroom provide ample accommodation for extended family and friends. The master suite enjoys its own ensuite, while two additional full bathrooms make hosting effortless after long summer swims or successful days on the water.

Step outside and you'll find flat lawn stretching to the lakefront - ideal for backyard cricket, lazy afternoon picnics, or simply soaking in the serenity. A shared jetty at the water's edge makes lake access seamless - launch the boat and an easy tie up after an evening cruise.

This is more than a waterfront home. It's a place where trout run, boats glide, laughter carries across the lawn, and memories are made season after season.

If you've been waiting for the ultimate lakeside fishing lodge - this is your moment.
