Glampers can explore the lake by kayak, visit the glowworm caves at night, get a closer view of native wildlife, or just enjoy the peace and quiet that comes from being out on the water. Those who own a small boat can launch it nearby and park it on the beach. The trampoline, lawn games, tennis court, and nearby hiking trails add to the well-rounded options for those who love to explore the outdoors.

Nearby Rotorua, the seat of Maori culture, is known for geothermal natural wonders including bubbling mud pools, shooting geysers and natural hot springs, lush forests, and a pristine lake. Glampers should be sure to check out the Redwood Forest, Kuirau Park, Government Gardens, mountain bike trails, and forest walks, which are all free to visitors! To experience Maori culture, attending a full Hangi, a traditional Maori meal, is recommended.
