The property was perfect for our group with mixed age group from 70, 50, 20s, & teenagers. Having so much to entertain the younger members - spa, pool table, swimming pool, table tennis, bbq meant we didn't have to go out to entertain younger members all day. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. All spaces had such generous appliances. Directly across the road from the airport for those flying in and out of there. If looking for a property in Rotorua you must stay here! I note they can lock doors off to make smaller spaces for smaller groups but we had whole property for large group & we loved it. Beautiful views out to the lake & was cool to watch planes coming in & out of the tarmac. Although on highway & across from airport, house well soundproofed so noise not an issue.

    Koura Lodge was located in such a gorgeous, peaceful spot on the lake. We were lucky to have perfect weather to enjoy the setting - plus having a sunset spa and sauna right by the lake was a big bonus. Our host was the most sweet and helpful lady, I adored her. The rooms were great, all the different breakfast options provided were simple and yet really tasty. My partner and I felt very well looked after.

    Beautiful location overlooking Lake Rotorua. We really enjoyed our breakfasts and wandering the lovely garden. The big bonus was the fire in our room which made the property so cosy, and we loved the hot tub after a busy and freezing day doing activities in Rotorua. Rowena and her team are doing a fantastic job of managing this property.

    We stayed in the ensuite cabin and it was surprisingly warm for winter!! We ended up turning the heating off throughout the night. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable staying here. Lovely game/tv area and the hot tub was really nice too. Our daughter loved using the map to find our way around. We even saw trout in the stream. Such a neat spot.
