Situated in Rotorua, 15 km from Rotorua International Stadium, Hana Lodge features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden.

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!!

FAQ about holiday rentals 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.

    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.

    2 or 3 day stay is enough to see the most interesting sights. One of the hot pools is definitely worth a visit, probably Polynesian as they are the staple (or Wai Ariki but that's more expensive). We also loved the gondola and a buffet dinner on top of the hill in the Stratosphere restaurant. One of the maori villages is also a must, we did Whakarewarewa which was informative and the cultural dance was great to see. Waimangu valley is great.

    This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging. Lots of things to interest most if not everyone. Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat

    So much to do!

    So much to do! It's become the Queenstown of the north island - lots of adventure activities. We did spend a fair bit of money, but we also had a great time, they just need some more good quality restaurants, and better coffee in the township - the best we found was out in the suburbs. I loved our time there, especially the mountain biking - so fun. People were all friendly and helpful too. Def a gret place to visit, esp if you have tweens / bigger kids.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes . Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

    As we were only doing a two day stop over to catch up with family and friends, on our way to a wedding, it was just enough to get us time to do these visits and still have time for ourselves. As were not "exploring Rotorua" we did not need extra time. Would recommend at least 4 - 5 days if you are new to the place and want to do all those sights, that Rotorua has to offer.

    we had read mixed reviews about this place but thought we should check it out as this was the only place within our budget that offered 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a Private Spa! we were glad we made the decision to stay here as it was beyond what we had expected. Our suite was very cosy and clean to a 5 star standard. The hotel staff were exceptionally wonderful especially Sam who catered to our every need. we will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Rotorua

    Staff were very polite and helpful, especially the staff at breakfast! They were very busy but always smiling. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Options for hot and cold items- meats, eggs, cheeses, danishes, yogurts, juices and fresh fruit. Close location to the shops, Eat Street, Polynesian Spa. Great charm and character for a historic hotel. Our 2 bedroom suite was spacious and had upgraded bathrooms and kitchenette. Very nice toiletries provided.

    Really comfy, clean and good sized room (had a small couch which I wasn't expecting). Friendly, accommodating staff. Really liked the spa area. Great setting right on the lake. Excellent value for money especially during the school holidays. A very quiet, relaxing base to explore Rotorua. It's a little tired in areas around the hotel but I think this is reflective of the price and also how difficult the past few years have been for hotels in touristy areas.

    Very much recommended to stay here because the staff was very helpful and nice, I didn't need to come to the receptionist, the receptionist comes to you instead. The place had a sliding thing that tells the housekeeping if you want a full service, small service, or no service which is very neat. The room was very tidy, the beds were very comfy and the pools were nice and hot. Would come back here with my family next time to Rotorua.

    The room was very clean and had 2 queen beds, a kitchenette and a good bath/shower combo. The hotel has good parking and is close to lots of the key activities (eg, zip line base, gondola, luge) and only a short drive to the spas, Eat street and the city. There are laundromats close by and lots of fast food outlets. One of the key assets is that it’s walkable to Countdown/Woolworths just across the road.

    Such a big house, lots of space for the family to spread out and have their own space….important after sharing rooms in hotels before this stop on our holiday. It was close to everything. The host made check in seamless. The little things like heaps of dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent helped out too! The kitschy decor was adorable and the kids loved it!

    The hotel as a whole was fantastic. The room was spacious and clean. Service levels were on point and breakfast at the main restaurant was great! The hotel is perfectly located just off Fenton street so it was quiet and a perfect getaway for the family. All the main attractions are a short distance away which is extremely convenient. Will definitely be back.

    I loved that the host put the heat pump on for us before we arrived. We got to Rotorua late as we flown up from Dunedin. Everything went so smoothly no complicated situations. My mother passed away and our family home already had visitors from overseas. I was so happy with the Airbnb me and my family stayed in it was close to my mums house.

    It's quite n a good place to stay with family. Food wise it's the same everynight- if u go late for dinner you might miss out on dishes. It's better to eat out then having dinner at the hotel if you staying for more than a night.
