Surrounded by Lake Rotorua, On The Point -Lake Rotorua is a luxury retreat featuring spectacular views to Mokoia Island. Guests can enjoy fine dining in the restaurant or indulge in a massage or treatment at the day spa.

Exceptional location, service, with friendly welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in New Zealand. Everything was immaculate and so well done. Getting to pet the ponies and sheep and donkeys while enjoying the beautiful view of the lake was a bonus!

Guests can enjoy a relaxing massage and sauna in the resort's award-winning Wai Ora Day Spa. The outdoor pool overlooks the lake. There is also an indoor hot tub.

The Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort is only a 7-minute drive from the city centre of Rotorua and is a short drive from Whakarewarewa Hot Springs and the Tikitere Hell’s Gate Thermal Pools.

It was well off the busy road and quiet. Locatipn was nice, right off the lake.

    Everything! So spotlessly clean, beautifully fitted out, great location, luxurious and comfortable. It’s the third time I’ve stayed in three months! Perfect for adult family and friends, where three bedroom & three bathroom adds privacy and luxury.

    Does not look like the pictures, it's more like a run down motel. I booked a spa day for me and my partner and confirmed this with them although it took 3 attempts for them to respond. They had not booked this so we drove 3 hours to this resort for nothing. Very disappointing. The staff are nice, they are just clearly understaffed. The spa pool didn't look clean and one of the pools was empty with tape around it. I felt very mislead.

    To be quite honest, the only thing good about our stay at this “spa resort” was the bed.

    Great facilities around the resort and activities for kids; free mini-golf, pool, tennis and table tennis. 5 mins drive to downtown, Redwoods, supermarket - a great base to explore Rotorua. Great space in the luxury one-bed apartment for a family of 4 (two young children). Very attentive staff.

    I had a wonderful time at VR Rotorua Lake Resort. The hotel is located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Rotoiti, which offers stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the lake. I loved the deep bath, the luxury amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant served delicious food with a variety of options. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for scenic and comfortable accommodation in Rotorua.

    the location is always a positive when staying at Wai Ora Lakeside spa resort. I’ve stayed here before in 2021 and had a good experience hence why I have booked again recently. The cleaning service lady was very friendly and checked in to see whether we needed anything and if we wanted to restock any amenities.
