Lake Days - Large family Lake Escape
4 bedrooms (4 x queen size beds and 1 x single bed) sleeps 9
2.5 bathrooms
Welcome to Lake Days, a spacious four-bedroom family retreat near Lake Maraetai, designed for families and friends who want plenty of room to relax, reconnect and enjoy everything a lake getaway has to offer.
Lake Days is especially well suited to two families, extended families or groups of friends holidaying together.
With two full bathrooms, three toilets, two generous kitchen benches each with their own sink, and plenty of indoor and outdoor living space, there’s no need to feel on top of one another — even with a full house.
With two full bathrooms and three toilets, busy mornings are considerably easier when everyone is getting ready for a day at the lake. The kitchen provides another unusual advantage for a large group, with two separate kitchen benches, each with its own sink — plenty of room for preparing meals, drinks and snacks without everyone competing for the same space.
Two separate outdoor dining areas mean there’s plenty of choice for long lunches, relaxed BBQ dinners or an evening drink outside.
Fire up the BBQ after a day on the water, spread out and enjoy having the space that you simply don't get in a hotel or smaller holiday home.
There's off-street boat parking, making Lake Days a great base for boating, fishing and days out on Lake Maraetai.
Come home, park the boat and settle in for a BBQ while you plan tomorrow's adventure.
