"I stayed at the Regent Rotorua with my two sons during a family trip. The hotel was clean with useful an amenities, including a kitchenette, two queen beds, and a sofa. Best of all was location: adjacent alleyway with a dozen restaurants and shops, dozens of downtown food and shopping options, and Lake Rotorua well within walking distance. This centrally located hotel is very convenient and family friendly."

Top Lake Tarawera Hotel Reviews

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Booked a lake-view room for two nights. The rooms are recently upgraded and very nicely fitted out. If you book a lake view room, request the higher floors. The restaurant meal we had was very nice. We had room service the second night for a small service fee. Only complaint is the doors slam shut which booms up and down the corridor and is quite intrusive. Either a better slow-close or some cushioning on the actual door frame would make it quieter. Car parking is always at a premium but certain street parking is free."

Lakes Lodge Okataina

8/10 Good

"Gorgeous view and location. Was unaware that the restaurant was closed due to flooding which was inconvenient as when we booked it said that the restaurant was still operational. Everything was a bit run down but clean and smelled great. Shower appeared to be a bit dirty around the edges and sink took a while to drain and toilet didn't flush well. The resort manager Clare was lovely. Loved the glow worms. Would've been nice to know that the restaurant and a huge majority of the bar area is rotted from flooding and not operational."
