Hana Lodge, hotel in Rotorua

Situated in Rotorua, 15 km from Rotorua International Stadium, Hana Lodge features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

A Relaxing Stay at Hana Lodge We recently had the pleasure of spending a night at Hana Lodge in Rotorua. While our stay was brief, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the grand entrance and the beautiful natural surroundings. The presence of rabbits and alpacas (or llamas) added a charming touch to the property. The hotel itself offered excellent facilities, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was well-appointed and comfortable, with everything we needed for a restful night's sleep. The breakfast service was particularly noteworthy. I opted for the "big breakfast," which offered a wide selection of delicious and satisfying options. Overall, we were very impressed with Hana Lodge. Our short stay left us wanting more, and we would certainly consider returning in the future to explore the beautiful Rotorua region more extensively.

JetPark Hotel Rotorua, hotel in Rotorua

JetPark Hotel Rotorua is a New Zealand owned and operated hotel which is ideally located just a short 5-minute walk from Rotorua town center.

We booked 2 nights in the family suite, which is a very small room, no space for kids to run, no wardrobe or closet to organize our clothes, bathroom with mold and hairs found in the shower. Linen didn’t look clean, carpets with dirty, I found a pill medication from previous guest, and a rubbish receipt under the bed. I needed to move the beds to place them together so my 2 little kids could sleep with more space. Horrible parking space, carpark is so narrow. I had to park in a disable place which was the only space available. Bad communication between staff, we organised late check out @ 10:30 am at the moment of our check in, and I got a call at 10.03 am asking us to leave the room. The pool is cold, they offer better clean of the rooms we booked, but next day they forgot a big cleaning spray in the room, maybe for me to clean !!! 24hrs front desk is a joke, We went to Mac Donald’s at 11 pm to grab some food and at the time of coming back was nobody in the main door to open it for us, the swipe cards didn’t work!! We needed to walk around to the back door. Lastly, the free breakfast they provide has very limited offers. No hot dishes like eggs or sausages. Maybe those are extra price in la carta. For a 4.5 star hotel this is horrible, I went to Rotorua dozen of times and hotels with less star level are much better than this, and the price OMG!!! We spend more than 1.2K for 2 nights for a horrible stay in Rotorua ever! Won’t recommend this to nobody!!!

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.

    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

    So much to do!

    So much to do! It's become the Queenstown of the north island - lots of adventure activities. We did spend a fair bit of money, but we also had a great time, they just need some more good quality restaurants, and better coffee in the township - the best we found was out in the suburbs. I loved our time there, especially the mountain biking - so fun. People were all friendly and helpful too. Def a gret place to visit, esp if you have tweens / bigger kids.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes . Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

    As we were only doing a two day stop over to catch up with family and friends, on our way to a wedding, it was just enough to get us time to do these visits and still have time for ourselves. As were not "exploring Rotorua" we did not need extra time. Would recommend at least 4 - 5 days if you are new to the place and want to do all those sights, that Rotorua has to offer.

    Rotorua is a nice clean town with plenty of general shopping available. I felt that the tourist attraction were overpriced, but everything was well organized. The vulcanic activities are quite varied and unique.

    The accommodation ideal for 3 adults with separate bedrooms: 1 with a double and a single bed - the other with a double bed, extremely comfortable. staff welcoming, 3 tv's. Room service breakfast which we liked and a the restaurant had a good evening menu selection. we had a jacuzzi and use of the spa bath and whilst the swimming pool was a bit limited for size and depth it was very relaxing. the Pitch and putt was fun and the games room ample size, cooling / relaxing 10 minute walk around the stream was refreshing. the staff are brilliant and i could not fault them - well done

    Really comfy, clean and good sized room (had a small couch which I wasn't expecting). Friendly, accommodating staff. Really liked the spa area. Great setting right on the lake. Excellent value for money especially during the school holidays. A very quiet, relaxing base to explore Rotorua. It's a little tired in areas around the hotel but I think this is reflective of the price and also how difficult the past few years have been for hotels in touristy areas.

    The full kitchen facilities were great. We used the BBQ outside also. The pool was well used by the kids, great to have it in full view of the room. The location was fantastic. Handy to everything...eat street, shops, amazing local park/playground - and of course with driving to local attractions. I would definitely stay here with my family again and highly recommend to anyone I know travelling to Rotorua. And the staff were SO friendly and lovely.

    The hot pool and thermal Pools were great for the adults to relax as well as for entertaining the kids. The beds were extremely comfortable with extra pillows and blankets. The room was warm with replacement towels every day. Management were extra friendly and welcoming. The room was great for hosting a family on a budget etc. Stove and fridge provided. Overall the stay exceeded my expectations and we had a great time staying.

    The check-in process was smooth. The hotel was centrally located and close to everything. Our room was nice and clean. We had the 1 BR unit with the hot tub on the balcony. We liked having the kitchen and washer/dryer. The in house movies on tv were an added bonus. Since we stayed over a weekend, the street parking was free and located right in front of the property.

    I was very happy to discover that the hotel rooms were new and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I decided to have dinner at their restaurant and I was glad that I did, my dinner was excellent! The reception area also has a large gathering / game room. It turned into a fun evening with most of the guest socializing after dinner.

    Sudima Hotel was perfect and the location was excellent as it was next to the lake and Polynesia spa and not too far from the city center. The rooms were alright but it met our expectations as a family. The lounge/ restaurant was excellent and when talking together at night sitting on the couch and drinking the drinks was excellent.
