Located in Rotorua, 6.1 km from Paradise Valley Springs and 15 km from Rotorua International Stadium, Paradise Valley Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi, a garden with a terrace, and access to a hot tub.

The house is so beautifully designed with the windows overlooking garden and pasture. It was also very serene and quiet - just what we needed. I would definitely recommend it to stay!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    This was our 2nd stay here as we were so happy with the lodge before. We love the quiet location. It’s very relaxing being right on the lake. Even on very cold, frosty nights, it was extremely cozy. It’s also lovely having the sauna there. The hosts Arun and Cheryl are very kind, friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

    Shami and Dave made me feel very welcome in their home from the moment I arrived. They were always open for a chat and helpful with advice on things to do and see in Rotorua. I would like to thank them for having me as a guest over the course of my stay and for their warm hospitality. The lodge itself is conveniently situated on the No. 12 bus line and within walking distance from Te Puia and Whakarewarewa. As a solo traveller without a car, I had no issues finding my way around by public transport.

    I'm not entirely sure where to start... Our experience at Hana Lodge was absolutely incredible, from the fabulous staff and personalised customer service they offer to our gorgeous room and facilities available to us. The cleanliness was impeccable throughout and the in house dining experience was divine. The grounds are stunning and along with the Lodge there is such an enchanting feel about the place. We will be back in September and can't wait!!

    Koura Lodge was located in such a gorgeous, peaceful spot on the lake. We were lucky to have perfect weather to enjoy the setting - plus having a sunset spa and sauna right by the lake was a big bonus. Our host was the most sweet and helpful lady, I adored her. The rooms were great, all the different breakfast options provided were simple and yet really tasty. My partner and I felt very well looked after.

    Staying at Parkside Boutique Lodge was an absolute pleasure. The host went above and beyond, catering to my dietary needs with a delicious breakfast that even included gluten-free options! The peaceful ambiance, coupled with stunning views, made for a truly rejuvenating experience. Plus, the added bonus of being able to use the red sauna was the cherry on top. Highly recommended for a serene getaway.

    We enjoyed that just across the road from the Lodge was the best park ever, also views that u would never see staying in the other hotels. We were a 5min walk from the shops, everything was so close and accessible it was amazing, definitely recommend and will definitely stay again x

    One of the best lodges we've stayed in. The hosts are very friendly and informal which made us feel at home. The lodge is brand new, very clean, and well-thought-out. The location is also very good, quiet yet close to many attractions by car. The small private area outside for you to enjoy. Nice common kitchen, great breakfast prepared by the host. Good value for money

    We came here as our holiday home accomadation we'd booked several months before let us down. Within moments of walking in the reception we knew we'd have a nice stay. The rooms were great, the reveptiom and house keeping staff went to great lengths to be welcoming and friendly. The Christmas decorations throughout were beautiful. The bar had a lovely ski lodge feel to it. The bar staff were also lovely. The free laundry was really helpful. A magical Christmas stay, and we would love to come back!
