Lake Rotokakahi Hotels

"Pretty run down to be honest, when you book places like rydges you expect the standards to be the same across NZ, was just really old like the whole place a referb is much needed"

"No TV. Yes the listing said games. Never had a hotel, B&B, VRBO that didn’t have a TV. Put that in listing. No chairs for dining. Only metal stools. Shower way too cold: 30-31, not 37-41."

"The property was clean. We didn't get to meet the owners, but the property mgr was friendly and helpful. It seemed nice family-friendly place, nestled amongst beautiful scenery, with good access to shops and amenities nearby. We would definitely visiting the property in future."

"The property was rustic as described by the host but suited our needs well. Plenty of beds for our large group. Great location. Could do with some mirrors in the bedrooms, as it was difficult for our group of 8 to do hair/makeup for the wedding we were attending with just the 2 mirrors in the bathrooms. "

"Responsive hosts at a great, private location. Very comfortable and relaxing stay.Will book again when visiting Rotorua next."

"Appreciated the garage, especially for rainy times. Great layout for 2 guests with wonderful views. Two minor issues were that the oven/stove control dials were unreadable so we were not sure what temperatures were being set; and Kleenex tissues were not supplied. We would definitely recommend to others or return ourselves to this charming location!"

"Excellent communication and a beautiful view that just can’t be beat!"

"Perfect spot for our family to stay for a long weekend. The view was amazing, and I loved how the house was actually big enough to cater for the amount of guests able to sleep there. The hosts were incredible accomodating with adding people for a few extra nights. Highly recommend! "

"The tiny house is pretty cool but it was pretty gross. The house and all of the upholstery- futon, pillows, mattress, duvets, drapes- REEKED of patchouli. It was so strong that even after a few days of airing it out it was still strong. None of the windows had screens either so the offset to getting some fresh air was a bunch of bugs. There was a giant dead moth under the pillow on the bed, spiderwebs everywhere, and a few of the window coverings were broken. The shower drain was also broken. This place needs a deep clean and some maintenance.We ended up both sleeping on the futon and just spent as much time away from it as possible. I asked the property manager to drop off new linens and they told me there were extras in the downstairs bedroom (which we didn’t have access to) and I mentioned that and then they ghosted me. If you like patchouli and bugs…. this place is fine, but otherwise keep looking. It’s too bad because the location was rad and it was a place we were really excited about. "
