Wonderfully described by Peter Jackson, Director in New Zealand, “New Zealand is not a small Country but a large Village.” One of the reasons for this observation could be thanks to the rich and abundantly blessed landscape in New Zealand, together with the simple lifestyle of the people living there. One such natural beauty of New Zealand is Lake Tarawera, one of the largest of the series of lakes surrounding Mount Tarawera, a volcanic mountain in the North Island of New Zealand. Named by a visiting hunter who found his spear and hut burnt on his return, Tarawera means “burnt spear.” Home to eels and rainbow Trouts and a popular destination amongst tourists, the place is famous for camping by the hot water beaches. Offering a stunning view and conveniently located are these Bookabach holiday homes near Lake Tarawera, New Zealand. Check them out below.
