Best Lake Okataina Hotels

The lake view room is very good, the sparsely populated water is very clear, suitable for emptying. When it rains, the lake is dark, and the sky is blue without filters when the sun is out.

Solitaire is the top three luxury homestay in Rutua. On the shore of Lake Tarawera, the scenery is beautiful and the food is delicious. It is suitable for couples or couples to relax, not very suitable for children. The price is expensive and the price is not high.

Outward appearance is good, but on closer Inspection it is shabby, once was high class accommodation but now cushions and curtains dirty. Unidentified scraps on bed linen and bathroom had very visible mould. The bath is a great size with headrest, heated floor and good water pressure. Our room had a great view of the lake, but people walking past windows, no real privacy. Good size room interesting room layout.

A very clean hotel with a very welcoming front desk, which made us feel at home in a foreign country. Facilities: Very stylish Hygiene: clean nice environment Service: warm The location is very good. I will stay here again next time. Recommended to everyone.

Such a beautiful location and clean house. You have your own backyard and you can enjoy the view. This resort is surrounded with the lake which makes it more beautiful. We found issue with the dryer as its not working properly. Spa water temperature is cozy but its ok as it will remove all your tiredness. Other than that its really nice. Good for families and should take at least 2 to 3 night stay to enjoy and feel the nature. We will be back again❤️❤️❤️

The room is tidy The Chinese ones are different, they have Chinese service, there is a laundry room, everything is very convenient, and the room can see the lake.

The accommodation is great. The kitchen is fully equipped with tableware and cooking utensils, which is great! You can also watch Netflix for free, which is great! Next to it is Lake Rototua. The scenery is super beautiful during the day. Don’t open food by the lake, seagulls will come and grab the food from you😆

Many people come to the Blue Lake in RVs and yachts. Needless to say, the scenery of the Blue Lake is so beautiful. Sitting by the lake relaxes your teeth and scalp. The resort has separate toilets and shared toilets/bathrooms. Mostly locals come for water sports and swimming/camping, very few Chinese tourists. It is recommended to bring a swimming ring or surfboard from January to March. There are no restaurants around, so we brought instant noodles and tomatoes on our backs. After eating a few days later, we took a 10-minute taxi to the Landing Cafe next to Terawera Lake to eat. The beach was very lively on a sunny day, filled with children and adults with dogs🐶 Come and play in the water. The lake is crystal clear and opposite is a volcano. You can talk to local people with yachts and let them drive to the hot water beach at the foot of the volcano for a hot spring♨️.

To be honest nothing bad about this hotel as others mentioned. The staff manager at the front desk is super nice and helped with all sorts of request. Room is in good but not luxury condition which is kind of expected. Pool is closed.

The hotel that Rotorua will still choose for the second time is in a good location, close to supermarkets and attractions. The rooms are spacious and have full kitchen facilities to cook for themselves. The hotel has its own hot spring pool and you don’t have to go out for a hot spring.
