Regent of Rotorua Boutique Hotel, hotel in Rotorua

The Regent of Rotorua Boutique Hotel features a heated outdoor pool, indoor mineral pool, restaurant and unlimited free Wi-Fi for guests to enjoy.

The room was nicely furnished but was stiflingly hot when we arrived and had no opening windows. we then turned on the air conditioner and it was quite clear that the filters had not been cleaned and there was a strong odour of mould. we told the manager we could not breath, let alone stay in that room, so she offered us another room that was not as nice for $50 more a night. We checked out.

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.

    So much to do in Rotorua...

    So much to do in Rotorua...Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre was definitely a highlight for us and a must visit ...also Waimangu Volcanic Valley was fantastic...need to have a car to get there but only about half an hour from Parkside Boutique Lodge

    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.

    We originally booked a small cabin alongside our daughter and family who were travelling in a campervan. We appreciated the picnic table placed between the two sites. Because it was pouring with rain the small cabin was a bit small for the second night. The management were very helpful in finding a motel booking which was large enough for all of us. It had great facilities and made our stay much more pleasurable in spite of the weather. The family really enjoyed their time in the thermal pool. Thanks a million Top 10 Rotorua.

    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.

    Loved our 3 day stay with our family - plenty of facilities for everyone and reception team were happy to offer advice for local activities and attractions. Room was perfect size for family of 4, having a private spa bath & courtyard was an added bonus. We highly recommend this hotel for traveling families. Staff were exceptional including the cleaning staff who were always very friendly despite being super busy (we visited during peak holiday time)

    The full kitchen facilities were great. We used the BBQ outside also. The pool was well used by the kids, great to have it in full view of the room. The location was fantastic. Handy to everything...eat street, shops, amazing local park/playground - and of course with driving to local attractions. I would definitely stay here with my family again and highly recommend to anyone I know travelling to Rotorua. And the staff were SO friendly and lovely.

    Very nice hotel at honest price. We were very happy. Large room. Strong air con. Good wifi. Everything clean and good repair. Great breakfast buffet with cappuccino machines. Excellent location on the lake. Guest laundry is all free washer, dryer, and soap. Great opportunity to catch up with dirty clothes. Rotorua is an amazing area with lots to see. We had 5 nights here and could have spent a week or more without running out of activities.

    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 apartment was very well supplied with all the equipment we needed. We prefer the space of an apartment rather than a hotel room. We enjoyed the location to be able to walk to Eat Street and the like. Breakfast was a good range but it's a shame the food doesn't stay hot. We used a private hot pool & the main public pools which were very enjoyable

    We loved that there was a soft and a firm pillow as a lot of hotels/motels have pillows like bricks and we prefer a soft one. The bed was lovely and comfy and we slept well. We love the pool temperature. One of the reasons we continue to come back. The coffee machine in the room was a lovely touch.
