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.

    The overall impression was of a somewhat dated historic hotel, but overall pleasant. Nice grounds. The bed was comfortable and the large window with the lake view was a plus. The insect screens on the windows were also helpful. The hot tubs were nice, as was the normal pool. It's a nice touch that there are specific towels down there to be used poolside, too.

    The full kitchen facilities were great. We used the BBQ outside also. The pool was well used by the kids, great to have it in full view of the room. The location was fantastic. Handy to everything...eat street, shops, amazing local park/playground - and of course with driving to local attractions. I would definitely stay here with my family again and highly recommend to anyone I know travelling to Rotorua. And the staff were SO friendly and lovely.

    The Cosy Retreat is a total gem and our family of 3 (mommy, daddy, 5-year-old) instantly felt at home. It’s a spacious and comfortable property that was perfect for us to explore the Rotorua area. The house was spotless clean and super well equipped. Iri was extremely responsive and helpful the entire stay, so we couldn’t recommend staying here more.

    The location was fantastic. It is so close to Eat Street where there were tons of lovely restaurants. The lake is only a few minutes away. There was a lot of parking free public parking spaces opposite the hotel even though you could pay $19 to park with the hotel parking spaces.
