Jack's Hut is set only minutes away from the edge of Lake Tarawera and 24 minutes from Rotorua.

Jack's Hut is an original South Island shepherd's hut from the 1930s. With imagination and love, it's been transformed into an atmospheric getaway, perfect for two.

The interior of the hut is quaint and cosy, with just enough room for a double bed, table, and chairs. Double doors open out to the spacious, covered deck.

Just next door, you'll find the kitchen hut with everything you need to cook a hot delicious meal, with a Weber BBQ on the undercover deck. There's also an adjoining toilet unit and an al-fresco-style shower. To top it off, there's a luxurious outdoor hot tub, big enough for two, where you can soak your worries away. For a unique movie night under the stars, turn on the projector screen and enjoy your favourite film from the comfort of the hot tub.

Sip your morning coffee on the delightful swinging seat on the porch and appreciate the gorgeous lake and mountain views. You may even spot the herd of fallow deer playing in the paddock below.

As the day draws to a close, you can toast marshmallows over the outdoor fire pit and gaze up at the crystal-clear, starlit skies. It doesn't get more restful than this...
