Description from owner
Description
We welcome you along a wonderful tree-lined drive to enter the peace and tranquillity of our 11-acre rural retreat. Just 10-12 minutes drive (14kms) from Taupo with its wide range of shopping, cafes and restaurants, and 45 minutes from Rotorua.
Nestled in the Oruanui Valley amid picturesque countryside, Minarapa Lodge is ideally located for an easy drive to many local attractions.
The Rooms
Our two guestrooms are located upstairs and offer tranquil vistas of our park-like grounds and the surrounding countryside. Their high chapel ceilings add an extra dimension of space. With a view to guest comfort and convenience, the rooms have tea or coffee making facilities, tv/dvd, bathroom amenities, heaters, as well as the use of a small fridge. Beds are complete with electric blankets and smooth cotton sheets.
The Pheasant Room
A smaller room with either two single beds or one super king bed. TV-DVD, private bathroom.
The pheasant and pukeko rooms can be booked as an entire suite, comfortably sleeping four people with an interconnecting bathroom- perfectly designed for families with children.
A cot and highchair are available for your use. Please be aware that the Pukeko room has no room to fit the portacot, so if you are wanting to book only one room and you are travelling with a young child, please book the Pheasant room.
