Accommodations

PANORAMA is aptly named for its magnificent views of Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island, Mt. Tarawera and the surrounding countryside. The architecturally designed cedar and brick home with large picture windows on all sides, takes full advantage of the surrounding views and landscaped gardens. Furnished to a luxury standard, Panorama features cathedral ceilings, spacious rooms, private guest entrance, and plenty of off street parking. Dinner can be served on request at the large Rimu table in the formal dining room. The Homestay is situated on 4 acres of farmland, with friendly sheep just waiting for a pat and something to eat from your hand.
You can be as formal or relaxed as you wish. The more energetic can play tennis on the championship sized court, or go for many local walks, one being Hamurana Springs, where one million gallons of cold water comes out of the ground per hour. Or you can relax in the heated massage spa pool, or in front of the open fires in winter or in the garden in summer.
