A Proud Family Legacy on Lake Tarawera:
Greg’s connection to Lake Tarawera runs deep — it’s a place rich with family history and fishing tradition. For generations, his grandfather and father were passionate anglers, spending countless hours on the lake in pursuit of the legendary rainbow trout that Tarawera is famous for. Their dedication paid off: two of their most impressive catches are proudly displayed at Trout Lodge, a testament to the lake’s incredible fishing and the family’s enduring love for it.

These trophy trout continue to inspire seasoned anglers and newcomers alike to cast a line and try their luck in these crystal-clear waters.

While you're relaxing in the lodge, don’t miss the family’s captivating fishing tale, "The One That Got Away". It's a must-read, full of adventure, humour, and heart — a true piece of local lore that captures the spirit of fishing on Lake Tarawera. You'll find it in the lounge, just waiting to be enjoyed.

With its stunning lake views, close proximity to Lake Tarawera, and just a short drive to the many attractions of Rotorua, Trout Lodge is the ideal place to unwind, explore, and create unforgettable holiday memories.

The lodge features modern décor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere — perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of nature’s magic.

Spectacular, Uninterrupted Views:
Few properties offer such panoramic views of Lake Tarawera, Mt Tarawera, and the surrounding native bush — visible from the deck, dining area, and lounge. Sunrises and sunsets here are breathtaking.

Rich Family History & Local Character:
Trout Lodge isn’t just a holiday home — it’s part of a generational story, with a strong connection to the lake through Greg’s family. The displayed trophy trout and the entertaining “One That Got Away” story add a personal, authentic charm you won’t find elsewhere.

Two Separate Living Areas:
Perfect for families or groups, the upstairs and downstairs lounges provide space to spread out, relax, or entertain — ideal for mixed age groups or those seeking a bit of privacy during their stay.

Lakeside Fun at Your Fingertips:
Guests enjoy easy walking access to the lake, excellent swimming, and use of two kayaks (with life jackets and a trolley). There’s also plenty of space for kids to play, pitch a tent, or park a boat — a bonus for active holidaymakers.

Pet-Friendly – With Thoughtful Guidelines:
Many properties don't allow pets — Trout Lodge is pet-considerate, welcoming furry family members (by prior approval), with clear expectations to ensure comfort for everyone.

Modern Comforts with a Natural Feel:
The lodge features modern décor and practical comforts like electric blankets, heaters, chrome cast, DVD collection, and a log fire — blending cozy, contemporary living with the serenity of a bush-and-lake setting.

Close to Rotorua, Yet Peacefully Removed:
