I'm not entirely sure where to start... Our experience at Hana Lodge was absolutely incredible, from the fabulous staff and personalised customer service they offer to our gorgeous room and facilities available to us. The cleanliness was impeccable throughout and the in house dining experience was divine. The grounds are stunning and along with the Lodge there is such an enchanting feel about the place. We will be back in September and can't wait!!

FAQs about hotels in Rotorua









A Volcanic Land of Wonders

Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.

This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.

Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.

More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange. 

Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.

    This house is large and has everything needed but furniture and bedding are old. House could be cleaned a bit better as the room I stayed in had cobwebs in the corners. The furniture is old and stained from use. The sheets on my bed were stained and the bedding was old. All bedding was clean. This house is on the edge of Rotorua and takes about 7 minutes to drive to the CBD. It rates quite a bit above where it should but houses of this size are not that common. We only used two of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did not do any cooking. Both bathrooms were fully functional. Outside under the carport there are drying lines for clothing. There were towels and blankets hanging on the clotheslines the entire two days we stayed here.

    2 or 3 day stay is enough to see the most interesting sights. One of the hot pools is definitely worth a visit, probably Polynesian as they are the staple (or Wai Ariki but that's more expensive). We also loved the gondola and a buffet dinner on top of the hill in the Stratosphere restaurant. One of the maori villages is also a must, we did Whakarewarewa which was informative and the cultural dance was great to see. Waimangu valley is great.

    This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging. Lots of things to interest most if not everyone. Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat

    So much to do!

    So much to do! It's become the Queenstown of the north island - lots of adventure activities. We did spend a fair bit of money, but we also had a great time, they just need some more good quality restaurants, and better coffee in the township - the best we found was out in the suburbs. I loved our time there, especially the mountain biking - so fun. People were all friendly and helpful too. Def a gret place to visit, esp if you have tweens / bigger kids.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes . Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

    As we were only doing a two day stop over to catch up with family and friends, on our way to a wedding, it was just enough to get us time to do these visits and still have time for ourselves. As were not "exploring Rotorua" we did not need extra time. Would recommend at least 4 - 5 days if you are new to the place and want to do all those sights, that Rotorua has to offer.

    Loved our 3 day stay with our family - plenty of facilities for everyone and reception team were happy to offer advice for local activities and attractions. Room was perfect size for family of 4, having a private spa bath & courtyard was an added bonus. We highly recommend this hotel for traveling families. Staff were exceptional including the cleaning staff who were always very friendly despite being super busy (we visited during peak holiday time)

    We don’t stay anywhere else when in Rotorua! Where do I start…the geothermally heated pool (better than Polynesian Spa), spa pools, the buffet breakfast, the comfy beds!! Seriously cannot fault this place. The lobby is a quiet and relaxing place to hang out and have a coffee while the little ones play in the play area. Such a family friendly hotel but quiet and relaxing at the same time. Well equipped gym, guest laundry. Couldn’t ask for more really.

    I liked some of the staff, it’s a pity that the staff that actually had great customer service happened to be of Māori decent! The bed was comfortable has a great sleep. Mini bar had nothing but milk in it. Weird how the shower and toilet were setup. For a 5 star hotel I’ve seen better, especially having bath robes in less than 5 star hotels, this definitely lacked the special touches of what you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

    Nothing, it’s suppose to be 5 star but the place was old, tired looking. The vanity and toilet were rusty. There was no shampoo or conditioner provided just body soap. The wardrobe didn’t have door. The carpet was dirty and old. This was definitely not 5 star as stated on the website. We have stayed in a lot of 5 star hotels/motel and we know what to expect. Very disappointing.

    Such a big house, lots of space for the family to spread out and have their own space….important after sharing rooms in hotels before this stop on our holiday. It was close to everything. The host made check in seamless. The little things like heaps of dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent helped out too! The kitschy decor was adorable and the kids loved it!
