10/10 Exceptional

Amazing couple running this lodge. So friendly and welcoming. The lodge itself is so amazing and relaxing. Beautiful views and quiet away from the main strip of tourism. This spot is quite literally the best. It was such a good place to rest our feet after a long day of travel.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay. Extremely clean and well looked after. Very kind staff who do a great job.

10/10 Exceptional

Formidable place secluded yet conveniently located near most attractions of Rotorua. The highlights of our short stay include the sauna and spa near the lake and our breakfast near the fireplace. We will definitely come back to Koura lodge and stay longer.
Matahiarii, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Harium, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We spent three nights at Koura Lodge. Its location is away from the busy area. It is quiet, luxurious and clean. Ideal for couples, friends, adult family members. The owner is very attentive and welcoming.
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely loved Koura Lodge, the views are breathtaking and the owners really friendly. Rooms are a little dated if you're comparing to inner city 5 star hotels, but it didn't bother us at all as it's what's outside the windows that captured our attention! Would recommend to anyone and would love to return.
Becky, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the serene surroundings and the lodge was absolutely gorgeous as we were the only ones booked in the night we had the run of the lodge and in the morning we had a beautiful cooked breakfast with a stunning view what more could you ask for as well the lodge and our room and surrounding areas were perfect very well kept grounds and very clean we would definitely stay here again if we are ever in Rototua again

Old and Sad Place

For a lodge that is charging $500 + a night this was a major disappointment.. It was old an tired.. looked a bit like a not well kept old peoples home, our room stunk of bleach, dining room looked like something out of the 70's , very down market, in need of complete updating and renovation. Would not recommend at all.
