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.

The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. Had the disability room which is perfectly located by restaurant, reception, carpark etc. So peaceful and relaxing with stunning view over lake. But the absolute highlight is the amazingly attentive and friendly staff who were welcoming and friendly. Make sure to book the inclusive breakfast - divine.

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.

    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

    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.

    We originally booked a small cabin alongside our daughter and family who were travelling in a campervan. We appreciated the picnic table placed between the two sites. Because it was pouring with rain the small cabin was a bit small for the second night. The management were very helpful in finding a motel booking which was large enough for all of us. It had great facilities and made our stay much more pleasurable in spite of the weather. The family really enjoyed their time in the thermal pool. Thanks a million Top 10 Rotorua.

    I had a wonderful time at VR Rotorua Lake Resort. The hotel is located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Rotoiti, which offers stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the lake. I loved the deep bath, the luxury amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant served delicious food with a variety of options. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for scenic and comfortable accommodation in Rotorua.

    We really enjoyed this accommodation & loved the story behind the family that turned a run down hotel into what you see today (due to retrenchment) all the while nursing a child with an illness. You can read about them in a book located in the apartment. We were warmly welcomed & delighted with the amenities. Excellent location, only 15-25 minutes from all major tourist attractions with free car parking. Highly recommend. Travelled with 3 adults & 3 teenage children.

    Staff were very polite and helpful, especially the staff at breakfast! They were very busy but always smiling. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Options for hot and cold items- meats, eggs, cheeses, danishes, yogurts, juices and fresh fruit. Close location to the shops, Eat Street, Polynesian Spa. Great charm and character for a historic hotel. Our 2 bedroom suite was spacious and had upgraded bathrooms and kitchenette. Very nice toiletries provided.

    Very much recommended to stay here because the staff was very helpful and nice, I didn't need to come to the receptionist, the receptionist comes to you instead. The place had a sliding thing that tells the housekeeping if you want a full service, small service, or no service which is very neat. The room was very tidy, the beds were very comfy and the pools were nice and hot. Would come back here with my family next time to Rotorua.

    I loved that the host put the heat pump on for us before we arrived. We got to Rotorua late as we flown up from Dunedin. Everything went so smoothly no complicated situations. My mother passed away and our family home already had visitors from overseas. I was so happy with the Airbnb me and my family stayed in it was close to my mums house.
