The Neighborhood:
Cooper's Lakeside sits in peaceful Holdens Bay, right on the eastern shore of Lake Rotorua - a tranquil lakeside pocket with the airport just five minutes away and the city centre an easy drive around the bay. A stroll along the beach brings you to Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its huge children's playground and a boat ramp - great for families and anyone bringing a boat. You're also close to the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest for walking and mountain biking, with Te Puia's geysers, the lakefront hot pools at Polynesian Spa and Wai Ariki Spa, and Skyline's gondola and luge all within reach - the best of both worlds, lakeside calm with everything close by.
Getting Around:
You'll want your own vehicle here, with free parking on site and on the street. Hannah's Bay Lake Reserve, with its playground and boat ramp, is a short walk along the beach. Rotorua Airport is just 5 minutes by car, the Redwoods around 12, Te Puia and central Rotorua about 15, and Skyline, Canopy Tours and Zorb roughly 25 minutes over on the western side of the lake.
Other Things to Note:
WIFI runs at around 104 Mbps. There's a garage with a bike wash and racks for the mountain bikers. Being right on the lake, we do get lake flies, especially at dusk as the light changes - they don't bite and are more of an annoyance than anything (they're what feeds the lake's famous trout), but it pays to keep the windows closed at night, especially with the lights on inside.
This property has a Minut sensor in the living room that monitors noise and smoke. It never records audio - it only sends our property managers a decibel reading if noise stays above acceptable levels for a sustained period.

The house was a very peaceful place to stay! Beautiful views of the lake and a welcoming atmosphere. We loved having this house to come back to after our adventures!
An amazing location perfectly situated in a quiet location on the lake but a short drive from all major attractions. The property is clean and a perfect base whether its visiting the location attractions or staying ion and enjoying the views and access to the lake. Highly recommended and a potential revisit for us!
We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful lakeside cabin. It’s the perfect getaway spot quiet & tranquil. We were right at the lake for walks & sunshine. Beds were comfortable with amenities up to date. Plenty of hot water & soft towels.
The cabin is cozy and charming! It was a pleasure to wake up each morning to have coffee and watch the birds on the lake. The location is superb ! Close to all the key tourist spots without being inside of one yourself. Plenty of clean towels, comfy bedding and the kitchen has everything .
This property was a wonderful, calming respite. Right on the lake with great access and lovely views. The cabin feel was delightful, comfortable, and cozy. We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay and will return if in the area again. Convenient location for the activities we were interested in.
A fantastic spot beside the main lake. The property is clean and well maintained. The attractions of Rotorua can be enjoyed and then you can relax in a secluded spot by the lake. I highly recommend this property.
Nice place with a fabulous view of the lake and access to it. It was close to town and main tourist attractions like Te Puia and the pickup location for the Hobbiton Tour. Midge flies don’t bite but they’re a nuisance. If you’re in and around Rotorua there is the smell of sulphur which takes getting used to.
