Kārearea Nest
Nestled high in the Rotorua hills, Kārearea Nest offers a truly exceptional escape. Just a brief 5-minute drive from Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty, this hidden gem is perched above the Te Pūtake O Tawa Whakarewarewa Mountain Bike Park (you'll see and hear people biking the trails during your stay). Accessed via the mountain bike car park, getting to the cabin requires a 20-minute uphill ride, a 30-minute walk, or opt for a convenient vehicle transfer for your arrival and departure times.
With sweeping vistas of Rotorua city, Lake Rotorua, Lake Okareka, and the majestic Mt Tarawera, this glassy retreat is tailor-made for couples, especially those with a passion for mountain biking. Inside, you'll find all the amenities for a cosy stay – a well-equipped kitchen, a snug bedroom, and a small but relaxing lounge with a wood burner. Outside, a deck beckons with a hammock and an inviting outdoor bath. Immerse yourself in the warmth and witness nature's captivating spectacles, from the ethereal dance of fog over the lakes to the breathtaking sunrise painting the hills. The air resonates with the calls of the Kārearea, our native falcon, and the gentle rustle of leaves. Here, you have the freedom to unwind and recharge or embark on a thrilling mountain biking escapade. The choice is entirely yours.
