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.

There are plenty of places to eat that's what I like about Rotorua, easy to navigate around to different places or events, I was there for the annual Aotearoa Māori Rugby League Tuākana Tournament.

A shithole.

A shithole. Street people, shitty shops, poor-to-basic food outlets using boosted resort pricing. Very obvious nobody comes to Rotovegas for the shopping. Perfect for backpackers who know what they like and what they want to see/do while there, I used to come for the mountainbiking back in the days when it was a niche pastime; one thing the place does pretty well is the biking.

We loved Rotorua, there are so many cool things to do solo or with a family. The National kiwi hatchery was wonderful and the kids favourite, we also loved the forest sky walk and glow worm tunnel, and the buried village. Top place to eat - the Fainting Goat pub in town, favourite place for Dad was Hobiton, favorite pick by mum The Secret Spot hot tubs (I recommend you leave the kids at home with dad and enjoy this place solo). It's a good idea to hire a car, we stayed a little out of town and also had fun just driving around the beautiful NZ countryside :)

We loved North Island, particularly Rotorua with many options around our main interests: Maori Culture and Nature. There is So much to see. Visit and Dinner at Mitai Village, also our Visit to Te Puia Thermal Park, the Maori Arts & Crafts Institute and Kiwi Conservation Centre were Fantastic! Also the Buried Village (june 1886) and a number of Beautiful Waterfalls! Also worth paying a visit to Patrick's Pies, absolutelly great pies that received many prizes! Hobbiton visit was also very interesting.

Beautiful blue lake with lots of birds and a coffee van and an excellent playground for all ages. Lots of great restaurants and things to do. Attractive shops. The Orakei Korako geothermal area was amazing. Also kiwi hatchery tour highly recommended in spring.

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!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and tidy. It's a very family friendly hotel but I didn't find it overly noisy. My teenager enjoyed the pool area. We had breakfast at Jet park too and it was lovely. Plenty of variety and well stocked. Highly recommended. We will stay again next time we are in Rotorua.

The family event was at the hotel. Also it was handy to have after hours security who assisted us with parking close to the hotel, when the carpark was full.
