Vacation rentals in Lake Okataina

What a spot!! absolute beachfront, high up on the hill overlooking the beach. We booked for our wedding night, but hosts were flexible with an early check in so the bridal party could get ready. Don't book if you don't like listening to the roar of the ocean when it's windy, but if you find it soothing like us, then it's perfect! Nice stairs down to the sand, perfect for a walk, and a nice deck area. The undercover area with fire is so nice for that bad weather but wanting a cosy spot to relax. I have zero complaints, place was spotless, nicely laid out and great parking. We are local to the Pukehina area, but if we ever need to book somewhere there again, this will be first on this list! Thank you Merilyn for your amazing communication and flexibility. We really appreciate it and your cosy place.

Can’t say anything bad about this house. It’s was the best place we had stayed in while visiting nz from Australia. My son booked his own place and when he visited us he was so disappointed in what he got and they paid more than our place. Believe what you read about the description on this home.

Excellent location. Spacious house with everything we needed.

Delwyn and Sara were quick to respond to any communication. They obviously understood families as they supplied extra linen and towels. We appreciated being able to have our family dogs with us, and they had a great time too. We appreciated the offer of a late check out to enjoy the sunshine after an otherwise very wet and blustery stay.

Paul's haven is a quiet and quaint little cottage. One is welcomed by the local bunny and kitty both of whom were big hits with my preschooler. The house is a cozy 20's style with a homely feel. The home is clean and generously appointed and the master bedroom has a beautiful mural! We slept well and just lived spending time there and enjoyed a couple of slow mornings. Paul graciously allowed us early check-in and late check-out which were greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Our family absolutely loved this place, and we will definitely be back! The views are better than the photos and we had tons to do!

Well appointed place to stay with loads of space and everything you needed for a comfortable vacation!

Thank you Nathan for one of the best stays we have experienced in over 10 years of being in New Zealand. This location was super good and Nathan is an extremely responsive and kind host. We had to book and check in on the same day due to our previous accomodation being very dirty. Nathan’s great hospitality and willingness to make sure our stay at his property rescued what was otherwise a bleak weekend for us. Instead, we had the most fun weekend off in our many trips around New Zealand. While the location is a little further from Rotorua Central, everything else makes up for it. We had a clean and comfortable stay and all the extra amenities and hospitality really made us feel extremely cosy and comfortable. A big thank you to one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this property!
