At Rotorua Rafting and Ziplines, we're passionate about providing epic experiences and ensuring your entire stay within our community is unforgettable. If you're planning a visit, we highly recommend Okere Falls as your ideal base camp. Here's why Okere Falls is an epic place to stay:
Okere Falls is a mere 20-minute drive from Rotorua’s CBD, placing you close to all the activities and restaurants the city has to offer while providing a wealth of entertainment right on your doorstep. Whether you're into white-water rafting, kayaking, or hiking, Okere Falls caters to all your adventurous needs. Additionally, you can enjoy house-roasted coffee, incredible food, and choose from over 200 beers at the Okere Falls Store.
Nestled along the Kaituna River, Okere Falls boasts lush native forests, stunning waterfalls, and serene lake views. It's a haven for nature lovers and a perfect spot for unwinding amidst breathtaking landscapes.
Despite its adventurous offerings, Okere Falls remains a peaceful and secluded spot. Relax by the water, enjoy the birdlife, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere after an action-packed day. It's the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Start your day with a refreshing dip in Lake Rotoiti, followed by one of Gregg’s coffees at the Okere Falls Store. Dive into one of our many adventures, and top off your day with a relaxing soak at the Manupirua Hot Pools. It's the ultimate way to experience all that Okere Falls has to offer.
We've curated a list of some of the best stays in the area, hosted by our local mates who provide epic Kiwi hospitality in spots you won’t want to leave.
Our mate Andi, the previous owner of the Okere Falls Store, has created an epic Tiny House perfect for a solo or couple's weekend away. This private spot allows you to park the car for the weekend and explore on foot. Just across the road, you can take a dip in Lake Rotoiti. In five minutes, you can be at the Okere Falls Store or Rotorua Rafting and Ziplines. A short stroll further, and you’ll reach the majestic Tutea Falls.
Imagine off-the-grid meets luxury at Kokako Retreat. This retreat features three individual units for your bedroom, lounge, and kitchen/bathroom, all connected by boardwalks on a hill with stunning views for sunsets and starry nights. Relax on hammocks and bean bags, or soak in your outdoor tub with a glass in hand, surrounded by native bush and the sounds of the endangered kokako bird. Hosts Jo and Dean are passionate about their creation and the neighbouring DOC reserve, so be sure to chat with them during your stay.
Amy’s Tiny House offers a bit more space for extra guests and a full kitchen, making it perfect for a group or family weekend. With space to park your boat and stash your bikes, it's an excellent base for your adventures, whether you're taking on Tutea Falls in a raft or zipping above it.
