Location and Transport

On The Point - Lake Rotorua is 15 km from Rotorua Regional. It is 10 minutes from the city center. A private path leads to the lake and private beach. Nearby landmarks include OGO Rotorua (2 km), The National Kiwi Hatchery (2 km), and Lake Rotorua (2.5 km).

The retreat offers two equipped conference rooms. VIP guests receive a complimentary bottle of wine and local food. The property provides Wi-Fi, and parking. Staff can arrange scenic helicopter or floatplane flights over the geothermal region of Rotorua and Mt Tarawera. The friendly staff can provide guided tours of the property. The grounds feature international paintings by artists such as Luca Bellandi.

“This lakeside retreat strikes me as both grand and intimate, a rare combination. The setting is ideal, near enough to Rotorua's attractions, yet peacefully removed on the shores of the lake. From what I've gathered, its appeal lies in its ability to host both significant events and quiet getaways with equal grace.”
