Our Treasure Cottage Retreat at the lake

Located in a quiet grove, our home has a modern open plan living area which flows out to a large outdoor living area, featuring a private back yard with all day sun.
Within walking distance there is a large lakefront reserve, cafe, tennis courts, kids playground and bush walks to explore.
The general store is a 5 minute drive and 2 boat ramps just a minute away.

A modern take on kiwi Bach with the 3 bedrooms and bathroom located off the perfectly sized open plan living area, a double ranch slider leads out to the deck, patio and bbq area featuring year round sun and privacy.
Cozy yet surprisingly spacious with plenty of warmth and light coming from the high up north facing windows, while during the cooler months the gas fire quickly warms the whole house.
Fully equiped entertainers kitchen with island bench.
Family sized bathroom with full laundry alcove.

Two bedrooms have queen beds and the third bedroom has king single and a set of single bunks, all made up with linen ready to go.
We also have a Porta cot and high chair for the little ones.

Kids will love the back lawn for games and quiet grove with gentle slope for bikes and scootering.
Off street parking for 2 cars or car and a boat.

Perfect base for Whakapapa ski field, Tongariro crossing and various mountain biking or walking tracks.

Arrive, unpack and relax. No need to worry about making beds as
your beds are made up for you, with your towels at the end of each bed. Wifi is unavailable, but there is excellent mobile coverage at the house.

2 week Family summer holiday
Really great location - close to lots of lovely tracks and walking distance to the boat ramp and river mouth and the cafe/winery at Kuratau. Compact, modern and very tidy property. Has everything you need for a relaxing break. Owners are great communicators. We had a fantastic summer holiday with our 17 and 20 year old kids. We got lots of use of the BBQ and great deck and outdoor area. Ideal for a summer vacation.

We had another incredible stay at Little Treasure - Kuratau. The property is so well appointed & comfortable. The standard of cleanliness is excellent - it really feels like a home away from home. Ideal location for our family pre-Christmas holiday. We look forward to returning already!
