A private timber deck with cast-iron bistro chairs and a bench - made for slow mornings and paddock views. The cabin sits in a gravel courtyard with native plantings and classic black post-and-rail fencing. Beyond the fence, rolling pasture climbs the hill and the farm animals roam - you're welcome to walk the boundary, say hello and enjoy genuine New Zealand farm life from a respectful distance.

The Neighborhood:

Hamurana is a quiet farming village on the northern shore of Lake Rotorua - one of the most peaceful corners of the region, all rolling green hills, grazing stock and clean country air. The Hamurana Springs Recreation Reserve is just up the road (around 10 minutes), home to one of New Zealand's largest natural springs, a grove of towering California redwoods and gentle walking tracks, and the lake shoreline is close by for views, summer swims and quiet sunsets. Ngongotaha village is about 10 minutes south with a grocery store, cafes and takeaways, and the much-loved Okere Falls Store, with its craft beer garden, is a short drive the other way.



Getting Around:

A car makes the most of the area, with off-street parking on site. Skyline's gondola and luge, Canopy Tours and Zorb are around 10 minutes away, the lakefront hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa and Te Puia's geysers about 20, and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest and Rotorua Airport roughly 25. Rotorua's city centre and Eat Streat are around 15-18 minutes south. Hobbiton is about an hour's drive, and the beaches of Tauranga and Mount Maunganui around 50 minutes.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI runs at around 250 Mbps. This is a genuine working farm - the resident animals (Kunekune pigs, a calf and a goat) live just beyond the fence, and you're welcome to walk the boundary and say hello from a respectful distance. The kitchenette is set up for simple, self-contained cooking rather than large-scale catering.
