FAQs about hotels in Rotorua

A Volcanic Land of Wonders

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.

    Beautiful blue lake with lots of birds and a coffee van and an excellent playground for all ages. Lots of great restaurants and things to do. Attractive shops. The Orakei Korako geothermal area was amazing. Also kiwi hatchery tour highly recommended in spring.

    My grandchildren played in a annual New Zealand Maori League Rugby Tournament held in Rotorua over the weekend from 27/9/2025 & 28/9/2025 with teams locally, nationally and Internationally participating in this tournament which would've generated much needed revenue and tourism to local business hotels and motels in the area. Almost all hotels and motels had been booked out months in advance so to find avaliable accomodation at Rotorua Hostel for my family was a god send BUT to have my reservation cancelled the day of Our booking in was A Big Disappointment and to find other accomodation within budget at last minute was impossible. Would I reccommend Rotorua Hostel NO DEFINATELY NOT

    Rotorua is an awesome place to visit for young and old. Allow time to experience all the activities on offer because you'll be spoilt for choice. Eating out in Rotorua amazing because of all the options available. Traveling around the city is easy and driving to the attractions easy to follow.

    Redwoods Forest is a fantastic mountain biking destination.

    Redwoods Forest is a fantastic mountain biking destination. Make sure you go and have a drink at the Secret Spot next door afterwards. A great place to soak your feet or indulge in a spa. The kids had a great time on the luge. You definitely need to get the 5 luge pass each.

    We are a family of four and had four nights in Rotarua.

    We are a family of four and had four nights in Rotarua. We loved it. We visited Hobbiton, many thermal geyser parks, Redwoods night walk and Secret Spot hot tubs. Plus the amazing Wai Ariki hot springs and spa. Need a car to travel here but it was fantastic.

    You will love the place.

    You will love the place. Don’t worry about the Sulphur smell in town as you do get used to it everywhere you go. There’s so much to see and do in the vicinity. Visited Hobbiton, Huka Fallls, the thermal areas around & outside of Rotorua. Māori Village and the lake areas of Rotorua. The desserts at PAKnSAVE are amazing especially the iced jam donuts.

    Sudima Hotel was perfect and the location was excellent as it was next to the lake and Polynesia spa and not too far from the city center. The rooms were alright but it met our expectations as a family. The lounge/ restaurant was excellent and when talking together at night sitting on the couch and drinking the drinks was excellent.

    Clean and tidy hotel, excellent customer service Room was roomy with plenty of room for my family group of 4. The children loved the Spa pool, I love that you fill the pool yourself so you are not bathing in someone else’s water. I will definitely come again.
