Got an upgrade to a great room with awesome view on Whakarewarewa. However very thin windows so could hear everything from the swimming pool area.
Great block out curtains to sleep in in the morning :)
Comfy bed, good room layout, shower was fine.
Loved the hot pools. Good location for Whakarewarewa, Te Puia, Wai-o-Tapu, Redwoods, Blue/Green Lake, Tarawera...

The staff were welcoming and efficient from the moment I arrived. Check in was easy and organised. Friendly staff at every encounter from front desk through to the restaurant. The room was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. Love the chic bathrooms. It was quiet at night and the comfortable bed ensured a great sleep. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved this place! It was an incredible experience. Staff were amazing especially Michelle! My daughter and I weren't quite sure what to expect but we had such a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic and the facilities, from hot jacuzzis looking out to the lake, to the beautiful rooms and dining room/restaurant. The view is amazing with gorgeous black swans swimming on the lake

The property was clean, welcoming and the bedroom was a lovely size. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen was a really high standard, had everything you needed to cook, clean and we felt so comfortable here. The location is excellent if you are exploring the town. The staff member who checked us in was really friendly and helpful, couldn’t ask for more. Great value for money.

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.

So much to do.
So much to do. Something for everyone and options for all ages and abilities. The scenery is beautiful. I loved walking through the redwoods.
The tourist attractions are expensive and that is a shame as you need to choose and cannot do as much as you would like if you are on a budget.
However, it is a beautiful city and I will definitely return.

Rotorua is a great place to stay with plenty to see and do as long as the weather is fine. When wet there are not a lot of indoor activities to do other the Polynesian Pools, Government Gardens, and the Maori Village with the carving displays.
Many restaurants are available with a great variety of cuisines.
Accommodation is many and varied but it can be difficult to find one that meets all expectations as some of the advertising is not that clear.

This house is large and has everything needed but furniture...
This house is large and has everything needed but furniture and bedding are old. House could be cleaned a bit better as the room I stayed in had cobwebs in the corners. The furniture is old and stained from use. The sheets on my bed were stained and the bedding was old. All bedding was clean. This house is on the edge of Rotorua and takes about 7 minutes to drive to the CBD. It rates quite a bit above where it should but houses of this size are not that common. We only used two of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did not do any cooking. Both bathrooms were fully functional. Outside under the carport there are drying lines for clothing. There were towels and blankets hanging on the clotheslines the entire two days we stayed here.
We don’t stay anywhere else when in Rotorua! Where do I start…the geothermally heated pool (better than Polynesian Spa), spa pools, the buffet breakfast, the comfy beds!! Seriously cannot fault this place. The lobby is a quiet and relaxing place to hang out and have a coffee while the little ones play in the play area. Such a family friendly hotel but quiet and relaxing at the same time. Well equipped gym, guest laundry. Couldn’t ask for more really.
Very nice hotel at honest price. We were very happy. Large room. Strong air con. Good wifi. Everything clean and good repair. Great breakfast buffet with cappuccino machines. Excellent location on the lake.
Guest laundry is all free washer, dryer, and soap. Great opportunity to catch up with dirty clothes.
Rotorua is an amazing area with lots to see. We had 5 nights here and could have spent a week or more without running out of activities.
Beautiful property in a gorgeous setting with fantastic staff. The property was quite new and had good intentions but still needed to work out a few kinks. Loved the property, art works and grounds. So beautiful.
There is an opportunity for the hotel to offer guests to see the gorgeous stars in the sky but the front area is so brightly lit that it’s hard to see the stars. Perhaps they could set an area for guests to enjoy it comfortably?
This place was great... We had a large family room with two beds on a mezzanine level.. It was very clean, spacious, and well equipped. It's in a good location and had free parking for our rental car. The big hot tub in the room was awesome. It was great to relax in after a tiring day out.
I preferred this place to most of the 5 star city hotels I've been in recently.
I'd certainly go back and am happy to recommend it.
Very close to Rotorua lakefront, very walkable. Nice mineral soaking pools. Very eco-friendly practices - loved it! Best of all, the extremely, friendly, helpful and responsive staff. Shoutout to Chloe and Poppy who helped with early checkin, calling airport for lost water bottle, booking canopy tour, suggesting restaurants for vegetarians… they were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars and beyond!!
Loved the new units. Have stayed frequently in the past and the new units are family friendly with views to the paddock with alpacas, rabbits and chickens that visit the rooms. Playground and grass area within view of units. Amenities were great. Nice and quiet. I often stay in Rotorua and this motel is way superior to others of similar price. Parking outside unit.
My favourite hotel in Rotorua since i was a child. The facilties of the spa are still good. I like the beds and the view of the lake. This is always a draw card. I prefer this location because it’s more quiet and the hotel sits alone without so much traffic and noise. The rooms also have balconies. Something some of the other hotels don’t have.
Great facilities around the resort and activities for kids; free mini-golf, pool, tennis and table tennis. 5 mins drive to downtown, Redwoods, supermarket - a great base to explore Rotorua. Great space in the luxury one-bed apartment for a family of 4 (two young children). Very attentive staff.
My family and I loved our stay the Location was amazing and was so awesome with the lake/park within close walking distance. The beds are very comfy, and the pool/spa were a definite bonus. We would stay again without hesitation. Thanks Novotel Rotorua A+ from me and mine.
Everything! The building is unique and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. The staff among the friendliest on earth. A charming hotel that should be sold out night after night. Totally lovely and unique. One of rhe most special places we have ever stayed.
This Was A Beautiful And Caring Motel Lovely People To Get To Know Me And My Family We’re Very Overwhelmed With Our Stay And Enjoyed Our Time Would Recommended Staying At This Motel When Visiting Rotorua For Anything
Lakeside view from the room. So peaceful. And the suite was spacious with all the amenities. They even had toothbrushes, something I haven't seen in NZ hotels. And 11am checkout is a bonus when traveling with kids
Good hotel in rotorua for the strategic position betweeen the Centre and the main attractions like te puia and redwood walk.
Essential room, nice staff and very good service about the gym .
The hotel was very clean and well situated. We walked everywhere in town. We read several complaints about parking but had no issues finding a spot - and you only pay for part of the day.
Location was excellent. Hotel has a lovely small pool and a wonderful hot tub for private use. The manager was very kind and gave excellent customer service.
