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.

    Redwoods Forest is a fantastic mountain biking destination.

    Redwoods Forest is a fantastic mountain biking destination. Make sure you go and have a drink at the Secret Spot next door afterwards. A great place to soak your feet or indulge in a spa. The kids had a great time on the luge. You definitely need to get the 5 luge pass each.

    We are a family of four and had four nights in Rotarua.

    We are a family of four and had four nights in Rotarua. We loved it. We visited Hobbiton, many thermal geyser parks, Redwoods night walk and Secret Spot hot tubs. Plus the amazing Wai Ariki hot springs and spa. Need a car to travel here but it was fantastic.

    You will love the place.

    You will love the place. Don’t worry about the Sulphur smell in town as you do get used to it everywhere you go. There’s so much to see and do in the vicinity. Visited Hobbiton, Huka Fallls, the thermal areas around & outside of Rotorua. Māori Village and the lake areas of Rotorua. The desserts at PAKnSAVE are amazing especially the iced jam donuts.

    We had a short visit to Rotorua to bike in the forest and have a quick explore of the lakes. We were very impressed with the facilities, the Rotorua lake front is looking lovely with upgraded facilities since we were last here many years ago. We ate at Eat Streat one night . The main part of town is looking tired but parts are slowly getting facelifts, the lake perimeter and adventure tourism available is great. We biked the loop track at Whakarewarewa, walked around the Blue lake, visited Lake Okareka and walked to Jumping Rock, and walked along the Rotorua lakefront.

    Don't worry about going out of town to thermal sites when you can walk around the lakeside and park and see geothermal action for free. There's also a wealth of street art around town mixed in with a great range of shops and cafes. The iSITE staff were very helpful with planning trips and activities and talked me through using local buses: they also called a taxi for me at one point. DEFINITELY do go to Mitai Maori Village's cultural evening. You might think it sounds expensive. I promise you it's totally worth it. This experience was one of the highlights of my 3 week tour of NZ and one of the first things I tell people about.

    Nice clean spacious room. We booked this room specifically for the balcony which a lot of other Hotels do not have in Rotorua. The Spa was great and cleaned after every use.Great location within walking distance to a lot of great cafe's and restaurants. Lots of parking outside with a long stay carpark a couple of minutes away.

    Great facilities around the resort and activities for kids; free mini-golf, pool, tennis and table tennis. 5 mins drive to downtown, Redwoods, supermarket - a great base to explore Rotorua. Great space in the luxury one-bed apartment for a family of 4 (two young children). Very attentive staff.

    Great size room, nice and quiet with double glazing ( unlike a number of older Hotels on Fenton Street which can all be quite noisy ) Also location superb as right next to Eat Street and Lake. You can also use the Gym and Pool at the Novotel which was added bonus.

    Entrance to hotel is nice. Rooms are a little dated but clean and we booked last minute so it was nice for a 1 night stay. Pool facilities were used by all the family/whanau.
