Award Winning Dream Escape - a stone's throw from Rotorua's major attractions
Whether you come for recreation, family holiday, executive retreat or thrill seeking excursion, Tūrama will shelter you. This recently-built, architecturally-designed home is located minutes from Rotorua's major attractions and city centre, yet is secluded enough to offer an escape. You will be amazed staying here! Spacious 'designer' living, large gardens and regenerating native bush are highlights. Luxurious bathrooms and beautiful bedrooms await you too. As for your four-legged family member/s: dogs will love roaming an acre of secured gardens while you cook up something in the kitchen or on the BBQ. Kids will delight in roasting marshmallows on the enclosed fire place in the porch. Big kids might join in too. https://www.maoriplus.co.nz/show/the-drawing-board/play/6321330200112

Spent a lovely couple of days in the house with family over Easter. The property is amazing - exactly as it appears in the listing. We especially enjoyed spending a couple of hours in the evening around the fire pit on the patio. Highly recommended!!!
