Boat Shed Bay - Stunning Lake Tarawera Views

Summary:
Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of birdsong, stepping outside, and seeing the morning sun glitter across the glassy waters of Lake Tarawera. At Boat Shed Bay, that dream becomes your everyday reality. This beautiful lakefront holiday home is all about space, comfort, and connection with nature. Large windows capture sweeping views of the lake and Mount Tarawera, while the open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly outdoors.

The Space:
This is the kind of place where time slows down. Start your morning with a dip in the crystal-clear lake, spend lazy afternoons fishing or reading in the sun, and end the day with dinner on the deck as the sunset paints the water gold. When the evening cools, gather inside for board games, movies, or a glass of wine while the lake settles into stillness.

With four bedrooms spread across two levels, the home comfortably sleeps up to eight guests, making it perfect for families or groups. Two bedrooms are located upstairs and two downstairs, providing space and privacy for everyone. There are also two modern, well-appointed bathrooms, ensuring convenience for larger groups. The heart of the home is its open-plan lounge and dining area, where wide windows frame uninterrupted views of Lake Tarawera. A fully equipped kitchen means you’ll have everything you need to prepare meals together, whether it’s a big family breakfast or a relaxed dinner with friends.

Life flows easily outdoors, where you can step outside and unwind with a drink on the deck, or head straight down to the water. With your own private jetty, swimming, kayaking, and fishing are always just a few steps away.

Guest Access:
You'll have access to the whole property. The garage is reserved for the owners belongings.
