What a lovely find. Right on lake Rotorua with a private beach and jetty, this was an exceptional, though short, stay. Our host was charming. Fantastic breakfast and a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. In places, the property looked a little tired but overall, a real treat. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1CF9EDBB2BECCAEF9D6C45F7F46B346BEB15DAC41706375630838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E75B8353D889ADEFA1B090D1C29BD864A474B761706375638330.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E4245869CD3D2A6A6FAB1917CAC13D0B082A5C8A1706375642543.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E68D9D1789B5CBC2B2533D477391B9C6AD75A82A1706375645661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gorgeous Lakeside Retreat This place was spectacular! 2 sets of sliding glass doors in our room opened onto a deck just steps from the lake. There were kayaks available for guests to use. There was a pretty lawn with lounge chairs and beautiful landscaping. We didn’t have an opportunity to use them, but there was a hot tub and a sauna next to the lake. Breakfast was very good, and it could be eaten outdoors on the deck overlooking the lake or in a lovely room with a cozy fireplace and cathedral ceiling and wall of glass with amazing views. The manager was wonderful and very accommodating. Breakfast started at 7:00, but when we told him we had to check out at 6:00, he got up early and made breakfast available for us at 5:30 a.m. It was a comfortable, beautiful place, and I couldn’t rate it any higher! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/405D522A23F3DA84597B8A7248A4F046E2372C181743306641272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A03310747785DC78AFDC3425306AE22634FBE9461743306633972.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F0F4072B498F2F826BBD00ABDF0766BB851BCC8D1743306640994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81AC8B1BB7CCF868BB395B031B5D4F2733C519A81743306641282.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Douglas Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities They had a water problem and placed us in an upgraded hotel called the Black Swan. Staff was wonderful and cooked me breakfast while waiting to accompany us to the Black Swan. Felt bad for them but the were wonderful and paid the $300 difference in the hotels. ##### Douglas Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet and peaceful Very quiet, no sulfur smell. It's right on the lake and you can watch the sun rise every morning. Be aware some of the rooms are actually 2 rooms joined together! They don't advertise this well. I was unpleasantly surprised to find I (traveling solo) had booked 2 hotel rooms! The manager seemed really reluctant to do anything until I escalated my complaints to the owner. He fed me lines of BS about the 2nd room "It's the ensuite" "it's the sitting room" "all our rooms are like this". It was very frustrating to deal with. Eventually they put me in a more suitable single room next door. It had cobwebs but was generally clean and comfortable. They have a sauna/hottub and kayaks you can borrow. It's a little far from the city center so have a car or don't mind paying for Uber. The breakfast is really good ##### Ross Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful stay! ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Selena Dec 23, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness The outside of the lodge is beautiful and well manicured but the rooms leave a lot to be desired. The beds are incredibly hard and uncomfortable, and the sheets are super hard and almost made of plastic. The shower in our room had mold and there was no antibacterial soap in the bathrooms. The towels are cheap and it was honestly disappointing considering that upon check in the man who works there said we got a “good price” because they just renovated. I expected luxury and it was honestly very average. The breakfast was decent and the views are great. It’s not worth the “good price” (already insanely expensive) in my opinion. There are other resorts around there that have better amenities and nicer rooms for a similar price. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b96bcf8-4f13-4b9d-bd1d-d4c64cd5b427-1766531706443.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1306c9ca-061e-4c20-9529-cc62b15af710-1766531710168.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Selena Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Catalonia-Riviera-Maya-Resort-And-Spa-All-Inclusive.h659775.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Schlitterbahn](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Braunfels-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Schlitterbahn.h5121475.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d4051-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Houseboats Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Houseboats.d6266635-aaHouseboats.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Lloydminster](https://www.expedia.ca/Lloydminster-Hotels.d3995.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Goa Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Panaji-Hotels-Goa-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h522986.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cabins.d11178-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Oahu-At-Ko-Olina.h6910.Hotel-Information) > > [Zel Punta Cana, All Suites - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Zel-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h3487003.Hotel-Information) > > [Scottsdale Plaza Resort & Villas (soon to be Kimpton)](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Scottsdale-Plaza-Resort.h240.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h447258.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hollywood/Aventura](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-HollywoodAventura.h421810.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Brossard](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Brossard.h21751.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from South Burlington (BTV) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/btv/phx/burlington-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Kincheloe (CIU) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ciu/tpa/sault-ste-marie-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Sudbury (YSB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/ysb/toronto-to-sudbury) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/yxe/comox-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/mex/ottawa-to-mexico-city) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Halifax Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax.d602873.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Sharm El Sheikh](https://www.expedia.ca/Sharm-El-Sheikh.dx3274)
