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.

    We lived in Rotorua for almost 30 years.

    We lived in Rotorua for almost 30 years. We left a long time ago to retire by the sea. Since then many shops in the main streets have closed and new shopping areas have emerged nearby and along TeNgai road. The central city now looks somewhat depressed . Tourist attractions are expensive by our pensioner standards. The lakes and thermal areas remain outstanding.

    Rotorua was a fascinating place, if a bit stinky because of the sulphur. Our visit to Whakarewarewa, the living Māori village, was extremely interesting. The male guide was very informative and entertaining at the same time! We visited Kuirau Park to see the boiling mud and water, too. All thoroughly worthwhile.

    There are some great places to see in Rotorua. We walked alone a track around Lake Rotorua and it was a nice easy flat walk. There are also plenty of tourist attractions. Recommend EAT STREET. Some good restaurants and cafes to choose from. Scenery around Rotorua is magnificent.

    Loved the new units. Have stayed frequently in the past and the new units are family friendly with views to the paddock with alpacas, rabbits and chickens that visit the rooms. Playground and grass area within view of units. Amenities were great. Nice and quiet. I often stay in Rotorua and this motel is way superior to others of similar price. Parking outside unit.

    My favourite aspects of the Novotel Rotorua are the location and breakfast. Both are ideal I think. The room is good - nothing unusually good for a nice hotel, but good. Everything was there, it all worked and it was clean and tidy.

    Not much. Rented for emergency housing. Sad to see these older motels/hotels so dated and run down. The golden mile no longer.
