VR Rotorua Lake Resort, hotel in Rotorua

VR Rotorua is enriched in ethnic history. It is at this location where the First Māori settlement was established in the region by Ihunga and his dog.

We stayed for 1 night, it was excellent value for money. The rooms were very well sized and clean. It is outside of Rotorua town so you would need a car to travel in but the bonus is it is very peaceful and has an excellent view of the lake. The decor is a little tired but there is an on-site gym which, though basic, was a nice plus! I would stay again at the price paid.

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.

    Every time we are in Rotorua with kids, we go to the Luge.

    Every time we are in Rotorua with kids, we go to the Luge. Redwood forest is very beautiful. We were planning to go for a night walk but you have to book in advance and we missed out last time as it was booked out the week prior. Wai-O-Tapu is the must but on a hot day it is pretty unbearable as there is no cover from the sun, the whole place is exposed. Mexican place on Tutanekai Street has amazing food and cocktails. The Fainting Goat next door has delicious seafood platter and my kids love their Margarita pizza.

    Our plan was to see all in Rotorua, therefore we booked 3 nights. Two nights would have been enough to experience all. Best experiences are related to Maori and geothermal wonders. We visited Te Puia (Maori + geotermal) and Te Pa Tu (Maori + Hangi dinner) in separate days. Better plan is to book them for same day: morning Te Puia and evening Te Pa Tu. This would leave 13-17 to see the rest of Rotorua (for example Kairou park, Sulphur point, Redwood forest, Lake Tikitapu or Okere falls). The area around St Faiths church in the lakeside is worth of visiting - so many places where smoke is coming from street side or single house cardens - we also learned that it was the original place of the Maori village

    It smells.

    It smells. Maybe we're more sensitive but it made us nauseous after a few days. You can even taste it in their faucet water. Did some fun white water rafting. Hiked in the red woods. The zorps. But this canne done in one day.

    We were here for the Tarawera Ultra-trail Marathon.

    We were here for the Tarawera Ultra-trail Marathon. A fantastic event which the whole community supports. On our last night I had dropped my wallet getting out of the car and some wonderful person took it to the police station after leaving a note on the car. Very grateful.

    Total surprise at how great this hotel was! It's attractively done out and very warm and welcoming. The staff are simply lovely so helpful and smiley. Our room was perfect for our small family and the food!!! My gosh. One of the best meals I've had in months in the dinner restuarant and breakfast offered a wide ranging buffet that was really fresh and had something for everyone. It is also very child-friendly. Couldn't ask for more.

    Great hotel for a family vacation, we loved the heated pool and the playroom, having an option of buffet meals meant we never had to worry about where to eat. Having an EV changer on-site was also a great bonus.
