A different kind of stay in Rotorua.
Redwoods Oasis
exists because how we gather matters.

  • Not rushed gathering.

  • Not crowded gathering.

  • Intentional gathering where people feel held, unhurried, and free to be present.
     

Over years of hosting a high-quality short-term rentals, we’ve learned something simple and true: when space is designed with care, people soften into connection naturally. This home was created to make that easy.
 

Redwoods Oasis is designed for connection and choice 

Redwoods Oasis was intentionally designed around human behaviour, not floor plans.

At her heart is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space - our i-gather zone - where shared meals and conversations naturally unfold.

Thoughtfully crafted spaces and wellness-focused amenities flow into clearly defined i-zones that allow guests to:

  • come together with ease

  • step away when needed

  • reset and return
     

This balance supports connection for family holidays, group stays, and small retreat groups (leadership or wellness facilitators) seeking privacy and flow.

  • Connection here is never forced.

  • Solitude is equally honoured.
