We had the most wonderful Christmas stay, thank you for making our holiday so special! Our families had such an amazing time here. The accommodation was spacious, spotless, and incredibly kid-friendly, giving everyone room to relax and play. The water sports and play areas made it an unforgettable experience for both the adults and the children.The host was absolutely outstanding ,so kind, responsive, and attentive, even during the busy Christmas period. We truly felt welcomed and cared for. We would have loved to extend our stay if it weren’t for our families needing to catch their flights home. This stay exceeded all our expectations and made our Christmas one to remember. Highly recommended!

Family Weekend

Fabulous weekend with wider whanau and kids to celebrate a (low key) 70th birthday. The property was great everything you need was there and plenty of room for us all. The kids had alot of fun on kayaks and dinghy it was great watching from the deck. A cricket game on the lawn and a few passes of a rugby ball Close to Rotorua with all its activities but also comfortable if you want to stay in. The weather was perfect. Thankyou Rotoiti Lakeside Lodge

Thanks for a great stay

Fabulous spot! We noticed it is a house that accommodates for children, so would be great to have one high chair available. The oven and dishwasher need replacing - they aren’t in very good condition. Other than that a great place, would definitely recommend to others.

Rotoiti Lakeside Lodge

We were a group of five friends staying in the main house of Rotoiti Lakeside Lodge. The water front location was great and the house is very spacious. There were some misunderstandings due to the owners replacing the key with an electronic numbers lock. This caused some issues with our check in. But I am sure this is sorted for future guests at the lodge. I would definitely go there again.

Stunning outside grounds

The jewel of this property is the outside, it’s stunning. Inside the house is a good size, but it is a bit dated - particularly the kitchen and downstairs. But it has all that you need for your time away. My gripe is that the property is advertised as 6 rooms - but it is in fact 4 rooms, the remaining rooms are seperate and it requires additional payment. I think this needs to be clearer- not threaded in the later paragraphs. But nevertheless an enjoyable stay.

Amazing Birthday Weekend at the Lodge!

I booked the Rotoiti Lakeside Lodge for myself and a group of friends for my 40th Birthday. We stayed 3 nights, and couldn’t have asked for a better place to book! The outlook as soon as you come down the driveway and see the lake was amazing. The house itself was nice and big, with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs - all already made up into our bedding configuration. The kitchen was great, with so much already there…cups,plates,cutlery etc. And the outside deck off the lounge was just perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate a milestone birthday. It is about a 15-20 min drive from Rotorua, but that didn’t bother us at all, as we spent all of our time at the property. Also - the Okere Falls Store and Beer Garden are a must visit!! Especially Burger night on Fridays, and the legendary Briskit Toasted Sandwich. A 5 min drive from the Property.
