Airport Oasis | Pool, Heated Spa & Games Room

Summary:

A pool, a heated spa, a games room, and three wings of space - this is the Rotorua group house that works for kids and adults at the same time. Set on a peaceful semi-rural block 10 minutes from town and 800m from the airport, Airport Oasis comfortably hosts 11 guests across six bedrooms, with a central courtyard that lets everyone spread out and come back together.



The Space:

The property is built around a tiled courtyard with three distinct wings, so big groups never feel on top of each other.



Main House - the everyday hub. Open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge flowing out to the courtyard and pool. Shared bathroom and laundry on this side.

- Master Bedroom - Queen Bed (with ensuite bathroom)

- Bedroom Two - Double Bed

- Bedroom Three - Single Bed



Games Room wing - kids' and teens' favourite, attached to the main house but lockable when you want it quiet. Pool table, table tennis, separate lounge and a kitchenette with washing machine.

- Bedroom Four - Queen Bed (upstairs)

- Bedroom Five - Queen Bed (upstairs)



Pool Room - a self-contained suite straight off the courtyard with its own external entrance. King bed with poolside outlook, ensuite, and a kitchenette with mini-fridge. Often used by grandparents or the couple in the group who want a bit more privacy.



Outdoor living

- Saltwater swimming pool (unheated) for summer days

- Heated spa pool, ready year-round

- BBQ and outdoor dining under the covered courtyard

- Fairy-lit patio for evenings



Best for

- Multi-generational family holidays (the three-wing layout earns its keep here)

- Group getaways with friends

- School holiday breaks - the games room runs itself

- Winter wellness stays - heated spa under the stars after a day at Hells Gate or the Polynesian Spa

- Wedding parties and event groups in town

- Work groups travelling together



Guest Access:

The whole property is yours. Main house, Games Room wing, Pool Room, pool, spa and outdoor areas - just for your group. The driveway is shared with a neighbouring property about 100m away; the garage is locked and unavailable.



The Neighborhood:

Ōwhata sits on the eastern edge of Rotorua - rural enough to feel like a retreat, close enough that you're never more than a short drive from what you came for.

- 800m to Rotorua Airport

- 10 minutes to Rotorua CBD - restaurants, shops, the lakefront

- 15 minutes to the Redwoods Forest and mountain bike trails

- 20 minutes to the Polynesian Spa and the main thermal attractions



The setting is paddocks, fences and quiet - past guests have particularly liked the cows on the neighbouring property as a welcoming committee.



Getting Around:

On-site parking is included. A car gives you the most freedom in Rotorua - geothermal parks, lake walks, Redwoods, and the airport are all within a short drive.



Other Things to Note:

- The swimming pool is saltwater and not heated - best for sunny days.

- The spa pool is heated and ready to soak in year-round - ideal after a day exploring Rotorua.

- The Pool Room is a separate building accessed from the courtyard, not from inside the main house.

- Te Ngae Road runs in front of the property and carries some heavy traffic including logging trucks. The house itself is set back, but light sleepers in the upstairs Games Room bedrooms may notice it - downstairs and the Pool Room are quiet.

- This is a semi-rural location so although pest control measures are in place, the occasional field mouse or insect is normal here.



Interaction with Guests:

The InnList team are based in Rotorua and reachable by phone, message or email throughout your stay. If something needs sorting in person we'll come round - guests consistently rate this as one of the strongest parts of staying here.
