About this hotel

Built in 2008, this Boutique Lodge offers quality Bed and Breakfast accommodation. It is set in two acres of grounds on the slopes of Mount Ngongotaha overlooking the beautiful city of Rotorua. It has spectacular views of the countryside and city but is only eight minutes drive (6km) from the city centre. Guests can enjoy free WiFi throughout the property and there is a large outdoor seating area, with a barbeque and hot tub, where guests can relax. If the weather is not suitable for sitting outside, guests can relax in the large lounge which has air conditioning or a real fire for the colder months. Breakfast is a buffet style continental breakfast which features homemade muesli, yoghurts and preserves. There are also two self-catering units available for people who prefer the flexibility this offers. Six friendly pet alpacas are an extra feature and guests are welcome to feed them.
