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.

Te Puia is well worth visiting for the natural Geysers and the tour of the education centre/College as well as very tasty Hāngī/buffet we had as part of the tour. Worth going round Waitapu thermal Park to see the hot mud pools, a great walk around them to view the different colour pools. and a visit to Waitomo glow worm Caves. these are fascinating and beautiful.

Hell's gate geothermal pools was fascinating.

Hell's gate geothermal pools was fascinating. Mud bath and spa pools gave us unique experience. Worth a try. It was very crowded but staff managed everyone well. Matai Maori experience including Maori singing and dancing was very good. Got to know more of Maori culture and food prepared in Hangi.

If you don’t want to pay a for the big thermal attractions, go for a walk in Kuirau Park, which has plenty of steam and bubbles! We loved the majesty and silence of the Redwood Forest. You can walk around Ohinemutu Village, a functioning Māori village, and see the intersection of white and Māori cultures in the architecture. Also enjoyed Mitai Māori Village.u

Great things to do either indoors if raining and outside when fine. Cafes and restaurants reasonably priced. Some main street shops need a tidy up to keep attracting people there. Looking a bit run down now. Parks and public amenities looking good. Business staff where we visited very friendly and helpful ☺️

Visit to the Kiwi Hatchery was such a highlight.

Visit to the Kiwi Hatchery was such a highlight. We were fortunate enough to see three newly hatched kiwis. Musical Theatre in Rotorua is alive and well. If you get a chance to get last minute tickets like we did you won't be disappointed. Well done Rotorua. Rock of Ages was 5 star!

This was by far the best accommodation on our trip so far (hotels, apartments, B & Bs). The home is five minutes outside of central Rotorua, so you need your car, but that is the case everywhere in Rotorua. There is parking on the property the room was very comfortable, the beds were the bed was excellent, the bathroom very light and spacious. The best thing was it was so clean I felt like I was in my own home. In the morning we had breakfast in the dining room, finely presented and very good espresso. Our hosts were friendly.

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.

My favourite aspects of the Novotel Rotorua are the location and breakfast. Both are ideal I think. The room is good - nothing unusually good for a nice hotel, but good. Everything was there, it all worked and it was clean and tidy.

Well-equipped for an older motel. We just booked a double room but got a family room with kitchen, including oven. Very central to Rotorua attractions, particularly Kuirau Park.
