Brian and Val are amazing hosts. Stayed at the Waiteti Lodge November last year and I absolutely loved it. Stunning view of the lake from the second floor. I also enjoyed kayaking on the lake (yes! they will provide you with the gears!). Will definitely stay here again when I am back in Rotorua.

Stayed with Brian and Val for two nights (18-19 Jan) in the Tarawere lake view room and the view is stunning. The accommodation was homely and provided all we needed (and a spa bath thrown in to relax away the end of the day). Val and Brian were very attentive and so helpful in suggesting things to do and their... More

Brian and Val are excellent hosts. Great location, very warm and accomodating. Lovely surroundings. I have stayed in the cottage, B and B and batch. Have been more then once and totally recommend. I have found them always clean, tidy and on arrival to be in perfect condition with all the necessary compliments to make my stay very enjoyable. Thanking... More

We have just spent two nights with Val and Brian and could not have asked for better hosts. On arrival, we were offered a free upgrade (swiftly followed by a gin and tonic!). Nothing was too much trouble and their encyclopedic knowledge of the area meant that we were able to make the most of our stay. Val's breakfasts were... More

My husband and I stayed in the Bach for our honeymoon. It was completely self contained and private. The Bach looked over the lake and was amazing. The perfect location to unwind. Being only 10 mins from town meant we could just hop in the car and be at any activity we like. Brain and Val helped us organise everything,... More

We stayed at Waiteti Lakeside Lodge for three nights and found it to be the perfect accommodation for Rotorua. As the lodge is situated just outside Rotorua there is no sulphur smell and a few of the activities and attractions of Rotorua (the Rotorua Luge, Mitai Moari Village, Agroventures and Dome to mention a few) are located along the way...

We had a wonderful few days with Val and Brian. They made us feel so welcome and spoilt us with wonderful, varied and generous breakfasts each morning. Val even made muffins for us to take when we went hiking. It is no good trying to diet whilst staying here! Being just out of Rotorua there is no sulphur smell and... More
