Loved this place! It was an incredible experience. Staff were amazing especially Michelle! My daughter and I weren't quite sure what to expect but we had such a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic and the facilities, from hot jacuzzis looking out to the lake, to the beautiful rooms and dining room/restaurant. The view is amazing with gorgeous black swans swimming on the lake

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.
So much to do. Something for everyone and options for all ages and abilities. The scenery is beautiful. I loved walking through the redwoods.
The tourist attractions are expensive and that is a shame as you need to choose and cannot do as much as you would like if you are on a budget.
However, it is a beautiful city and I will definitely return.

Rotorua is a great place to stay with plenty to see and do as long as the weather is fine. When wet there are not a lot of indoor activities to do other the Polynesian Pools, Government Gardens, and the Maori Village with the carving displays.
Many restaurants are available with a great variety of cuisines.
Accommodation is many and varied but it can be difficult to find one that meets all expectations as some of the advertising is not that clear.

This house is large and has everything needed but furniture and bedding are old. House could be cleaned a bit better as the room I stayed in had cobwebs in the corners. The furniture is old and stained from use. The sheets on my bed were stained and the bedding was old. All bedding was clean. This house is on the edge of Rotorua and takes about 7 minutes to drive to the CBD. It rates quite a bit above where it should but houses of this size are not that common. We only used two of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did not do any cooking. Both bathrooms were fully functional. Outside under the carport there are drying lines for clothing. There were towels and blankets hanging on the clotheslines the entire two days we stayed here.

2 or 3 day stay is enough to see the most interesting sights. One of the hot pools is definitely worth a visit, probably Polynesian as they are the staple (or Wai Ariki but that's more expensive). We also loved the gondola and a buffet dinner on top of the hill in the Stratosphere restaurant. One of the maori villages is also a must, we did Whakarewarewa which was informative and the cultural dance was great to see. Waimangu valley is great.

This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging.
Lots of things to interest most if not everyone.
Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat
Very close to Rotorua lakefront, very walkable. Nice mineral soaking pools. Very eco-friendly practices - loved it! Best of all, the extremely, friendly, helpful and responsive staff. Shoutout to Chloe and Poppy who helped with early checkin, calling airport for lost water bottle, booking canopy tour, suggesting restaurants for vegetarians… they were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars and beyond!!
the property was perfect, clean and had everything you would need! nice big cozy bed, kitchen had lots of complementary hot drink options, and bathroom was perfectly clean.
The man working the front desk went above and beyond to make sure we were well set up for our stay. I will definitely be recommending this place to any of my friends and family that come to visit New Zealand.
Loved the new units. Have stayed frequently in the past and the new units are family friendly with views to the paddock with alpacas, rabbits and chickens that visit the rooms. Playground and grass area within view of units. Amenities were great. Nice and quiet. I often stay in Rotorua and this motel is way superior to others of similar price. Parking outside unit.
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.
Great family getaway destination in Rotorua (although the facility is quite aged, there is very nice outdoor heated swimming pool for children to play). We stayed across two executive suite rooms the rooms were clean and cosy. Very friendly staffs especially Aditya’s assistance was noticeable.
My family and I loved our stay the Location was amazing and was so awesome with the lake/park within close walking distance. The beds are very comfy, and the pool/spa were a definite bonus. We would stay again without hesitation. Thanks Novotel Rotorua A+ from me and mine.
We had to make a change of plans due to an injury and one of our party was in a w/c.
Richard was really good about working with us to make the changes that we needed.
We would highly recommend this hotel.
They treated us very kindly and professionally.
It was very spacious, clean and had all that we required - a lot more freedom compared to a motel or hotel.
Check in and out were easy.
Located opposite a reserve and only 5-10 minutes drive from central Rotorua. Hoping to book there again.
Pity about the front desk staff! They shouldn’t be in hospitality business! I had stayed in many millennium hotels in London many years ago…staff there always friendly & helpful unlike the Rotorua ones!
The location is good with plenty or nearby parking if the main hotel carpark is full. Beds were comfortable. Free wifi was very fast and easy to connect to. Breakfast was okay but had decent selection.
Rooms were superb, better than a number of motels and hotels we've stayed in. Proprietor was friendly and helpful. Grounds were well kept and the bed comfortable, the room warm and spacious.
Pool and location. The hotel is suitable for people on the budget. It has everything you need. Parking is off street with plenty of parking available. Great receptionist, very welcoming.
The hotel was located near the lake and walking distance to many wonderful restaurants. The hotel staff was very friendly and provided excellent customer service.
staff was easy to communicate with; location was close to most everything in Rotorua (given you have a car); the rooms were honest and nice for a motel status
Beautiful Motel Unit spacious clean ideal for a
family.
Spa Pool.
Great Location.
Great Laundry Facilities.
The Arista of Rotorua exceeds the rating of 10!
Buffet dinner and breakfast was amazing especially with kids eating free! Heated pool and spas a favourite for us all. Great family hotel. Lovely staff!
