Tarawera Ultra Trail Accommodation

Waikuta Lakeside Lodge was perfect for our large group of 12 people attending the Tarawera Ultra Trail event. The 6 bedroom and 4 bathrooms suited us just right. The large kitchen and a dining table big enough for us all to sit at and share stories after the race was just great. The outdoor spa went down a treat after the run as well. I would highly recommend the lakeside lodge for your next big group getaway.

Sensational stay!

This property is amazing!!! Location is wonderful and quiet. Lake front is spectacular! The house is equipped really well for large groups, really clean, cosy and all facilities were great. Use of the kayaks was an added bonus! Plenty of space for larger groups to have different zones to peel off to. The back deck was a highlight!! Fantastic view, lots of seating, BBQ was immaculate! We could not have been happier with our stay!!

Everything we wanted and more!

Great water pressure, endless hot water, fluffy towels and kitchen knives that actually cut... this place has all the little details that make a difference. Our extended family group of 9 found the lodge perfect as a home base to explore the region, but also spent some time in the lodge enjoying the morning sun on the deck and the kids canoeing out front. It didnt matter what activity we did, it was always great to come home to a house that felt cosy yet had so much space! Would recommend for larger groups and families, and will definitely book again if we come back to Rotorua.

Nice spot on the lake

Plenty of space, comfortable beds. Unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t get to use a lot of the facilities like kayaks or spa. The kitchen area smelt a little damp but that was probably the endless rain. Great living and outdoor area with views of the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Nicky Acton-Adams

I'm easy going, laid back and friendly. I was brought up in this house as my parents are the owners. I'm based 40 minutes away in Tauranga with my husband and 2 kids. However I am frequently in Rotorua as my parents still live there.

Please be assured that if you need anything while at the property someone is always around to help out.

Why they chose this property

The lodge is extremely family friendly. With the lake right on your doorstep. The lake is shallow near the shore making it ideal for families. There are plenty of kayaks on site as well for everyone to use.
