Lake Okareka Bush Hideaway

Nestled amongst a beautiful forest glade near the lake, this idyllic hideaway offers a perfectly private, scenic oasis, the like of which is a very rare find.

Cloaked in pristine bush, the location is simply incredible, right in the heart of adventure territory and bordering the Lake Okataina Scenic Reserve. Take time out to relax and recharge in the tranquil setting or leap into life out on the water, Lake Okareka is just minutes away with the promise of swimming, boating and other aquatic pursuits. World class mountain bike trails, scenic walks and longer hiking trails are also in the area with the dramatic Lake Tarawera an easy drive away.

The approach through native bush sets the scene as it leads you towards your first glimpse of 'Glade House' and its captivating garden that has so many highlights to explore. The secluded cabin is another wonderful surprise and children are sure to enjoy the wonderland that this large 1.5586ha (more or less) property provides.

Blending harmoniously with the setting, the home celebrates rich timber overtones and pitched, sarked ceilings that are timeless characteristics of a Lockwood home. Living flows easily from the lounge through to the dining space and the kitchen, the window seat is the ideal place to relax with a good book or a cozy chat. Windows showcase the bush setting and the glass doors invite outdoor drift to where you can spend time on the deck or in the garden. A large den at the opposite end of the home is ideal as a media room, second lounge or an office. The home also features three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC, plus the laundry.

The separate cabin is a wonderful bonus when it comes to accommodating visiting family or guests. It could also be your very own hobby hideaway complete with gorgeous views across to the lake.

Wake to birdsong serenades, enjoy the peaceful sunsets and seek out the glow worms after dark. Here is a phenomenal private paradise to inspire love at first sight.
