A Relaxing Stay at Hana Lodge We recently had the pleasure of spending a night at Hana Lodge in Rotorua. While our stay was brief, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the grand entrance and the beautiful natural surroundings. The presence of rabbits and alpacas (or llamas) added a charming touch to the property. The hotel itself offered excellent facilities, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was well-appointed and comfortable, with everything we needed for a restful night's sleep. The breakfast service was particularly noteworthy. I opted for the "big breakfast," which offered a wide selection of delicious and satisfying options. Overall, we were very impressed with Hana Lodge. Our short stay left us wanting more, and we would certainly consider returning in the future to explore the beautiful Rotorua region more extensively.

The breakfast was awesomeeeee! We liked it a lot. And also enjoyed a little walk in the Banboo zone. Was very good.

It had the whiff of a special hosted bed and breakfast but the personality of a commercial hotel.

The approach to the property felt like it was out of a novel. The home was classically old yet renovated... it felt special to be there. The hot tub and sauna were perfect and the pool acted as a cold plunge.

Too cold to use the pool.

Breakfast was lovely Staff made us feel very welcome, we will return soon. Was a very enjoyable and special weekend Thanks all

Breakfast was okay. We did not eat dinner as the menu was not very deep and they didn't have a liquor license. The hotel is a bit out of the way, so it's necessary to drive 15 minutes to Rotorua. I did hear that they are in the process of redoing their menu and resolving their license issue, which would be a huge plus in the future. We would still stay here again.

We had a large comfortable room with a balcony. Very new and well decorated. Nice bed. The grounds of the property are beautiful, and the staff is lovely and so helpful. I loved that they were displaying a local artist's work throughout the hotel.

First of all, it feels like you're pulling up to your own private mansion. When they say boutique, it's a very accurate description to be fair and in the best of ways. Being offered a drink and a cold towel upon checking in was a really nice touch as well :) Warm welcome indeed. From staff, the rooms, the hot tubs, service in the restaurant, everything was top-notch. The Hotel Managers Darsh, was absolutely outstanding and always made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough, so don't hesitate. It's worth it.

The room was lovely, it's all the little touches, the mini bar is complimentary which iv never had before, the bathroom was lovely, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was absolutely delicious I wish we had stayed another night.

Nothing comes to mind other than we wish we had more time there.

Fantastic property, from the grounds to the staff, all great. We must give a special thanks and mention to the Manager that greeted us and took the time to ensure we were all set and welcomed, Michele. She went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed, and additionally, she also took the time to answer our multitude of questions about what there was to see and do in the area. Michele did all this as she was pulling multiple duties on the property, but she was always happy to help, and even went as far as ensuring we had breakfast when we left at 6:45am one morning. Great place all around.

Nothing I can think of at this stage. Perhaps bathrooms need updating if I had to choose something.

Michelle in reception and the restaurant staff were very friendly and professional. The breakfasts and dinners on site were delicious. It was a very quiet and restful place to return to each day after sight seeing. It suited our age group.

Didn't stay long enough!!

Wonderful,hot and cold options made by a talented crew.

Stayed in February 2024

The evening menu needs reviewing for content and value. As they've just opened this may be teething issues.

We wish Michelle and her staff every success. They were keen to make our stay enjoyable.

Our shower was small and the fixtures (though beautiful) were leaking and there was painter’s tape still on the vent. The breakfast room needed blinds as the sun was blinding and made the room a little stuffy. We were not motivated to try the dinner as the menu offering did not make it seem like it was going to be something special. It’s too bad bc the setting is a great opportunity for a nice, special dinner.

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?

Needed still some up doing as it is a brand new hotel ( bathroom)

The hana lodge is immaculate, and great location by the lake. Beautiful and secluded property. Darsh is simply the best. He greets you upon arrival, offers you a drink, shows you around and makes your visit wonderful the moment you step in. The lodge is quiet and has everything you need. The rooms are beautiful and they made our honeymoon special with room flowers . They take the extra mile and takes care of us.

Management should consider relocating the gamesroom which adjoins the room.

A fabulous and very comfortable room downstairs looking on to the pool. A generous minibar selection at no cost was a pleasant surprise. The staff went out of their way to serve and make our stay memorable.
