The Neighborhood:
Koutu sits on its own quiet peninsula on the western shore of Lake Rotorua - lakeside living, but five minutes from the middle of town. Walk down to the shoreline and the Koutu lakefront, or over to Karenga Park Reserve, with local shops, a dairy and a café close by for your morning flat white. Central Rotorua, the lakefront and the restaurants of Eat Streat are a five-minute drive one way; Skyline Rotorua, Zorb and Rotorua Canopy Tours a few minutes the other. Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Hot Springs are around seven minutes, Te Puia's geysers and Maori cultural experience about ten, and the Redwoods Forest mountain-bike and walking trails around twelve. It is a relaxed, established suburb - the sort of place you sleep well in and still get everywhere fast.
Getting Around:
A car is the easiest way to see wider Rotorua. There is a single garage plus room for a second car in the gated driveway in front of it. Central Rotorua is about 5 minutes, Rotorua Airport around 15, and Skyline, Zorb and Canopy Tours all within about 7. There is also a bus stop on Koutu Road with connections into town.
Other Things to Note:
WIFI: 470 Mbps.
TRAVELLING WITH A BIGGER GROUP: The Bluebird sits right next door. The two homes can be booked together as one property - search for The Old Datsun, our combined listing, and you have both houses side by side for a larger family or two households. ♥️
PARKING: Off-street parking for two vehicles - one in the single garage, one in the driveway in front of it. The driveway can be closed off with the front gates.
