Find Hotels in Rotorua, New Zealand

I stayed in a family of four, a couple aged 9 and 14. I came to Rotorua by car from Auckland Airport.It was exciting for couples in NZ after 23 years. 8 / 5-7 Stayed 3 days and 2 nights.The first floor was a living room, the second floor was a two-room bedroom, bath and toilet. I was worried about cold because it was NZ in winter, but the heaters were also very comfortable in each room. The kitchen utensils were perfect and I enjoyed cooking every day. There is a hot pool on site. Pool towels can be rented at the reception. There are games and DVDs available at the reception. The receptionist will also tell you kindly. Although it is a bit away from the city of Rotorua, you can spend it without any problems if you have a car. There was a river in the site and there were swings so the kids were happy. I also want to use it when I go to Rotorua. thank you for helping me.

sudima lake rotorua hotel is convenient to just about everything in rotorua. situated next to the lake and the polynesian baths i found i could eat at night and explore the town and gardens on foot. i would happily return to the sudima on my next trip to rotorua.

I'm very very very satisfied staying in this hotel in Rotorua ! This Hotel is near to everything , food , shopping , everything . The breakfast is ok , room is clean and staffs are helpful !

We stayed here for two nights. One of the best accommodation we have stayed in New Zealand! A Spa in our private house. Room was nice and clean with kitchen facilities for us. Owner was friendly and gave us recommendations to places to go, he also showed us around the room, nice extra touch. Highly recommended!

This was our first 2 nights in New Zealand and the bar was definitely raised! We were greeted by very lovely and charismatic hosts who gave a great overview of Rotorua with tips of what to do and what to see. The lodge is very cosy and perfect for resting, the very good variety of TV channels are an added bonus. Thermal pool was very relaxing and a good touch. Overall, very happy campers we were!

Rotorua has many attractions to fill the day, but decent, value-for-money accommodation puts the icing on the cake. And this comes in leaps and bounds at the Rotorua Motel! The economy room with kitchenette is spacious and everything works. The free internet was super fast, too. The owner, Dawn, is friendly and full of tips on where to go. One great piece of advice she gave was to eat at the Capers Restaurant, which we did twice. The food was simply excellent - wish we had something like this in Canberra! The room was always promptly serviced and anything we needed was quickly provided. The motel is within comfortable walking distance of the Rotorua Museum, 'downtown', and numerous restaurants. Many of the geothermal attractions are also close by. Yes, this motel is a real winner!

Upon check in, we were warmly greeted by the hotel staff who seems very nice. We were given a bottle of milk together with the room key. The room is spacious, and all the beds are equipped with the bed warmer. The kitchen and bathroom are clean, and for the price we paid, I really think it is worth the money. The motel is very close to Whakarewarewa Maori Village, and Rotorua Lake is around 5 minutes drive from the hotel.

The hotel is a bit further from the town..about 15 minutes from the town and within the Ramada Resort compound. The unit is owned by a private owner and we were entertained by Sherene, a friendly lady. The venue was awesome where it is fronting a lake..very cooling and with beautiful scenery. I love the apartment and it was a comfy stay that made us happy to come again. The facilities provided were great with washing machine and kitchen inside the unit. The fall back is only the internet connection which is pretty slow. Otherwise..i highly recommended this apartment!

toni and glen were very friendly and helpful, we could only stay two nights and asked their advice on what to see etc. when we had chosen the activities toni booked the tours for us. the rooms and bedding were spotless. the spa bath, set in our own private courtyard was great, filling it from the tap meant the temperature was ones own choice, a great way to relax after travelling for 5 hours.

This is a charming motel and you can tell the owner gives it alot of thought and care. Very clean and nice little touches in the room. We were kindly upgraded when we checked in. Lovely trout stream on the property. Good location away from motel strip but close to activities. Recommend Mount Ngongotaha walk which is close by and also the Redwoods. Will definitely come back if we come back to Rotorua.

I found the hotel very good as the owners run the hotel well, you tell it was privately owned as they went above and beyond. They even offered transport into the city if you wanted to go out for a drink. The bathroom had a nice big spa in it which was good to relax in after a day of walking around.

Located centrally, this place is ideal for families seeking accomodation. The kichenette and other facilities were very good and the staff too are helpful. With other conveniences like supermarket etc. in close proximity this is a very good place to stay in Rotorua.

the receptionist was nice. hotel was clean and tidy. Everything was organized well. there is a bar nearby where you could enjoy discount if you chose Base Rotorua. some noise at night but tolerable when you close the windows. Free parking. Wifi a bit expensive, though first 50mb is free.

It was an awesome stay at Distinction Rotorua Hotel with free WIFI and also large bedroom with 2 large bed , 1 bed is enough for 2 highly recommended for couples with young kiddos.

We stayed at Bella Vista Motel in Rotorua. Hotel is within walking distance of Kuirau Park that had some cool foot baths and sulfur pools. Public pool at the park. Easy walk to Eat street and basically across the street from Lake Rotorua, we also had a bakery across the street that had great meat pies, award winning. Room was nice, clean, comfortable, frig, microwave. Liquor store within walking distance. Did not see a grocery store but I also didn't look for one. There are washer and dryers. We did do laundry there, reasonably priced and clothes line so don't have to pay for dryer if you don't want to .Staff very nice and helpful.

Pros: Jay was very welcoming from the moment we checked in. He recommended activities for us and answered all of our questions. The facilities were big with events each night, big living room with a big DVD selection. We had a private room and it was one of the best we’ve stayed in New Zealand so far. We extended our stay for two additional nights! Cons: facilities are a little outdated. No oven . Limited kitchen ware. Pool table needs to be replaced

We spent 3 nights at Chris and Dave’s place and could not have been more pleased. We stayed at the Mokoia Room, and the view is to die for. It has floor to ceiling windows that overlook the beautiful Lake Rotorua. The room also opens to a lovely patio where you can just sit, relax, and enjoy the beautiful view. Chris and Dave are the most gracious hosts that we have ever met. Not only did they invite us to have a glass of wine with them before dinner, Chris also has a cup of tea ready for us when we return. She even came out to meet us with an umbrella one evening when we returned “home”. We enjoyed having the wonderful breakfast with them each morning. We will definitely return. Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay.

Very nice room, full of zen, clean, modern minimalist, pretty much what you see on the picture is exactly what you get, even more. Heated towel rail, heater in room, bathroom, even heated blanket! Greeted by a warm n lovely host, Vivian. We only stayed for one night, we wished we stayed longer though, simply because the cozy room n friendly host. There's a lounge/ breakfast room where we sit down n had full breakfast (cold such as cereal n fresh fruits as well as warm breakfast: bacon and eggs!) all my fave! ;)) We chat during breakfast, and Vivian is a very lovely host indeed, feel like we've been friends for a long time already.. I've done this review on my last night in Auckland, but for some reason it didn't came through, perhaps the wi-fi connection was not very good back then. Vivian is a very detailed and attentive host, she mentioned places to visit in Rotorua, we went for a hot bath at the Polynesian bath place, it was nice and relaxing. This b&b is definitely worth every penny, compared to those cheap hotels on the main street of Rotorua.

We had a private double, NOT ensuite. Our room was on second floor but there is a ramp, no stairs. We travel with small carry-ons. It was not a problem for us to roll these to our room. One backpacker complained that too many keys are too difficult for a backpacker to handle. Really? This person really gives bad names to all backpackers. This hostel gives you three keys to use: one for the front door in case you are coming back really late. Other two are for your room and for the entrance to the hostel area. Rotorua is not the safest place in the country and we felt actually good about the fact that one has to have a key to get into the hostel part. Bathrooms were clean, plenty of hot water. The mess was made by the people who are using the bathrooms carelessly. Wifi actually worked in our room, albeit a bit slow. In the reception, wifi worked fine. Our room was basic but clean. I asked the owner later to put some hooks on the wall and he wrote down the suggestion with gratitude. Staff were incredibly friendly, kind and helpful. The best p[art was their kitchen. Everything is in working order and every pot and pan had its own lid in its place. Once again, it is the responsibility of the users to keep a communal kitchen clean. This trip is teaching me that time is different. Now a days people are raising spoil brats who are selfish and do not care for or respect others at all. We were probably lucky because the noise level was very minimum and we slept well. After checking out we had to return and wait for about two hours to be picked up again by KE bus. The owner was very kind to let us use the lobby, the bathroom, etc. It was fun to watch children getting trained in rock climbing downstairs. I will recommend this place to anyone wanting to find a private room with kitchen access who is however willing to share the bathroom. Location is very central.

the host : christine - lovely lovely lady (thoroughly enjoyed her company, and not forgetting her gf lorissa she is equally lovely) the house: beautiful house in a picturesque setting the donkeys: otis, shania twain, - adorable the quail : nice meeting them (make me think twice now if quail in on the menu) the breakfast : yummy home cook, beautifully set up breakfast table we stayed in doolan's for two nights during our stay in rotorua - beautiful place, its going to be a beautiful memory for a long time....will definitely recommend to anyone going to rotorua.

Very great view. Stayed in the best view at Rotorua! The owner Mr. Hwang is so nice and helpful.. he has a German Shepard, Max. I miss Max already! Like people who loves dog. Definitely will go back and stay there next time.

Overall was Pretty Satisfied , Staff was very Friendly with accomodate of private Spa Pool at the backyard. Laundry service provided was Free. Kitchen utilitliez , TV , Bedroom with Heater are all provided. Location to the city Rotorua just within minutes.

Pros: Clean, friendly, basic room, nice pool. Cons: a long way from town. I was a bit surprised at the cost especially mid winter when it was nearly empty, paid $144 per night and can get a 4-5 star good hotel in town for around $90 per night, I should have shopped around! Thats my only gripe, otherwise a nice place.

we planned originally to stay only one night in Rotorua, but this place was so well located and so quite. No one to bother you, that we decided to stay another day. It was way more than what we though. We stayed in the deluxe queen room and loved it, the only detail was that the place was under refurbishment so some things were not working properly but the place itself was so enchanting, quiet and well locate that it didnt affect our stay at all. When we go back well be looking forward to stay again with you guys, thank you for making it so enjoyable. Oh and the lady that does the cleaning (I can't recall her name) was so lovely and polite and friendly. Thank you =)

Situated on main road into town but within easy driving distance of shops, restaurants and thermal parks. Very friendly welcome on arrival, well appointed room with spa tub, ideal for relaxation after long drive. Laundry facilities excellent.Plenty of parking on site. We were very grateful for advice about how best to spend our time in Rotorua, eg which thermal park etc.

This was in a good location with good facilities in the room. My only small negative comment would be that the heater was way too small for the size of the room. It was only a tiny oil filled radiator and it only really took the chill from the room. It was a particularly cold night in Rotorua though and there was an electric blanket and extra blankets so I was still quite warm in bed.

Our stay was in a cabin where we provided our own sheets towels etc... there was a shared bathroom facility kitchen, toilets and laundry all very clean.. There was a problem with one of the clothes driers which did not dry clothes because there was a partial blockage with air flow... the mangers were notified. At $80:00 per night it is not cheap... we had a view of the gardens not the lake.... I would recommend if you are a family but only a couple nights at most if solo or a couple..

Awesome would stay there again. There is a huge selection of great Restaurants in Rotorua to satisfy all taste sensations. We went to a lovely little Italian Restaurant called Zanellies - the menu had a lot of wonderful choices of Mains & Desserts. Shopping is also great in Rotoura with a wide selection of clothes and Gifts to buy for friends and family. There is lots to see and do - especially the New Rainbow Springs Park has lots of new attractions and the Gondola ride up to the Luge, bungie Swing and Cafe/ Restaurant was great also. We had an awesome time with lots of fun and adventure as well as relaxation and comforts back at the Hotel - the Spa bath was a great end to a couple of busy days. We look forward to our next visit to Rotorua.

We arrived and the manager greeted us,told us about the highlights and was interested in what we wanted to see. Made bookings for us at the 'Mattai" Village for the evening dinner and show. We were picked up at the Hotel, the Maoris showed us how it used to be they sang, joked and gave us a lot of information in the form of stories. Then we were escorted to the Hangi and told how it was prepared.On return from the show to the dining area the food was very plentiful and tasty. then we went to the sacred well which is a spring with glow worms, truly amazing, the water is so clear and pure, we drank it with our meal. the cost of $106 was very cheap, the value was much higher. After the show we were driven back to the Hotel and we swam in the pool which is blood warm. then back to our rooms to a spa at the back of the room with its own little area. Truly heaven leaving you wishing that you had longer to stay. Could not recommend this hotel more highly, it is excellent in every respect. Next day we went white water rafting with Raft It which was arranged at the information centre. I am an older person and I can tell you it is an awesome experience, The crew at Raft It were extremely attentive to ur safety in a fun way, going over a 7 metre waterfall is something every body should do at least once in their life and Raft It at Rororua is the place to go. Unfortunately life is short and we had to move on, but we will go back next year to that hotel and to the Mittai Village and Raft It but we will bring our friends with us. the weekend gave us the taste of New Zealand that we had been looking for.

The room was large and all facilities were tidy. I loved the spa. One of the best thing about this place is the manager- very friendly and willing to help me. So I could enjoy my stay in Rotorua much more than I expected. I will stay here again if I visit Rotorua again.
