My wife and I have a lovely home thats located close to Lake Rotoiti.  Now that we have returned from one of the best vacations I have ever been on I wonder how in the world we managed to miss out on all the lake has to offer.  We rented one of the lovely Lake Rotoiti Holiday Homes that was situated right on the lake shore.  We were able to swim and water ski anytime we felt like it.  We spent several days hiking and every evening relaxing in front of the fireplace.  It only took us two hours to reach the lake house by car so I am sure we will do this again and again.
