Relax, unwind and enjoy your time at Trout Lodge; a warm, comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 storied, fully self contained home that comfortably accommodates up to 6 people. Trout Lodge has two double bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a queen slat bed, a TV and a bush view. The second room has a double bed and views of the lake and mountain. A lovely log fire in the upstairs lounge quickly & effectively heats the whole house. We have a number of radiator heaters available also and fans for Summer. All beds in winter (except the sofa bed)have electric blankets on them. Downstairs you will find a second living area with a couch, a sofa bed (green) and dining table. In this area there is a TV which accesses Netflix and there's lots of DVD's available to entertain the children, a fridge, microwave plus a jug and toaster. A second bathroom is off this area as is the bunk room. Trout Lodge sits proudly on a large unfenced section, & there's plenty of room for the children to run around and play & lots of space to pitch a tent or park a boat. From the deck, dining and lounge, there are spectacular panoramic views of Mt Tarawera, Lake Tarawera and the surrounding bush. The sunrises and sunsets can be absolutely stunning. There's wonderful wildlife to keep you entertained - tui, kereru, fantail, quail & the odd rabbit that occasionally comes for a visit. There is a BBQ, table and chairs on the deck. If you are considering bringing your furry family member with you PLEASE LET US KNOW FIRST what you have. We reserve the right to decline your furry family member. If they do come to Trout Lodge, please don't allow them on the furniture (including the beds) please ensure all their toileting is outside and please pick up all their deposits before you leave. Thankyou! Trout Lodge is within easy walking distance to the lake where the swimming is wonderful and the fishing (license required) is great. We have 2 kayaks available with a trolley and of course the all important life jackets so please use. It's a short distance to Bay View or Rangiuru Bay to launch your boat. There's a great playground for the kids at Rangiuru Bay too! Getting into central Rotorua, where there is much to see and do, takes 20 minutes along a well sealed road. Between Trout Lodge and Rotorua there are some fantastic easy & more challenging local hikes. There are also numerous tracks for mountain biking. Google 'Whakarewarewa Mountain Bike Park Rotorua' to check out your choices. The Landing (super café/restaurant) is off Tarawera Rd and The Buried Village (another great café and museum) you can't miss as you come and go. The crystal clear Blue and Green Lakes are worth a stop and maybe a swim. The Redwood Forest is well known for its magnificent stand of Californian Coast Redwoods and make sure you visit the Redwoods at night as the lights are quite spectacular. Many guests also stay with us when attending a special function at The Black Barn, a spectacular venue again close to Trout Lodge. So much to see and do and Trout Lodge has all you'd need for a memorable holiday, we'd love to share our piece of paradise with you! Please note: For security purposes, one surveillance device is located outside on the roof which covers the main entrance/driveway to Trout Lodge.
