Jo’s Place – A Spacious Lakeview Retreat at Lake Tarawera

Gather your favourite people and escape to Jo’s Place, a stylish and spacious 6-bedroom holiday home designed with group getaways in mind. Nestled above the shimmering waters of Lake Tarawera, this recently refurbished retreat combines breathtaking views, elegant comfort, and a layout that makes shared time easy – and private time possible.

Perfect for Groups & Families

From the moment you arrive, Jo’s Place invites you to relax and reconnect. The generous open-plan living area is the hub of the home – featuring a large, modern kitchen, dining for everyone, and a warm woodburner fireplace perfect for cosy evenings. It’s ideal for shared meals, games, laughter, and lakeside planning.

A Clever Layout with Space for Everyone

What makes Jo’s Place extra special is its versatile layout, ideal for multi-generational families or groups of friends. Downstairs, you’ll find a semi self-contained bedroom retreat – complete with its own external access, ensuite bathroom, and kitchenette – giving guests their own private haven within the home. It's perfect for grandparents, couples, or anyone who wants a little extra privacy.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

Step outside to a generous patio area with a barbecue and outdoor dining setting – perfect for long, relaxed meals with a view. Soak in the spa pool, take in the panoramic lake and volcano vistas, or wander down to the lakefront for a swim, paddle, or peaceful stroll.
