"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...

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lake Okareka?
The best time to go to Lake Okareka is during the warmer months, from November to April, to fully enjoy the outdoor activities and scenery.

During this period, the weather is generally sunny and warm, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This makes it ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the lake, as well as hiking or cycling around the Lake Okareka Walkway. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to explore the area.

For those interested in fishing, particularly for trout, December to March is often considered prime time due to the warmer waters and active fish. It's also a popular time for families seeking a relaxing lakeside holiday with plenty of opportunities for outdoor play.

While the winter months (May to October) are cooler and wetter, they can still offer a peaceful retreat with fewer crowds, and the surrounding geothermal attractions in Rotorua are still easily accessible.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Lake Okareka hotel for you.
