Situated in a primo location at this favoured lake "Crawfords" offers everything for that one or 2 family holiday! Boatshed Bay is directly over the road with its 2 launching ramps plus good parking for vehicles with boat trailers, but guests please note: WHEN PARKING CARS OR TRAILERS PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ON THE NEIGHBOURS AREA TO THE LEFT OF THE DOTTED YELLOW LINE THANKS.

Rangiuru Bay with the best swimming beach is barely a stone’s throw away, this bay is a great place for families and swimming, with jetties to dive off plus a shallow beach ideal for small children. There is a tennis court which can be used with appropriate footwear as long as no one has booked a game or is currently playing. There is "The Landing Cafe" at the Tarawera Landing to the right and down the hill at the beginning of Spencer Road. There is a water taxi to take people across to Hot Water Beach for a trip or for the day, and it collects people from the Landing or the boat ramp jetty over the road and in front of “Crawfords.” The water taxi to those fantastic Tarawera walks departs and returns to Boatshed Bay and includes Hot Water Beach, Humphries Bay, the Outlet or Lake Okataina, and also a ride back from Hot Water Beach for those who have walked the Tarawera Trail.

All of this then you have a home that is geared for people! There are plenty of beds to sleep at least twelve, good car parking and comfort all round to make for a memorable stay!

This home is yours to enjoy whilst you are visiting. It is a loved family home and we do ask guests to please respect this and look after the place as if it were theirs!

We prefer guests to bring their own linen.....This is sheets, pillowcases, towels and tea towels. However linen can be supplied at cost.

Our booking platform does not require you to create a profile like other booking platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo) do, therefore we do not have any visibility on profile reviews. As a responsible host, may we please ask you to provide us with some more detailed information on yourself, your colleagues and your intentions for your stay? This may include a screenshot of your Airbnb, Vrbo or other booking platform's reviews. Our primary concerns involve the cleanliness of the rental after use and any potential damage to the property. Past feedback has often helped us and brought these issues to our attention where needed. Upon submitting your booking request on this page, you will be given a change to provide this additional information.
As the representative of the owner of this highly-rated holiday home, we hold the responsibility for managing this property. Your assistance with this will be appreciated and helps us to make a positive decision for you.
