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.

They had a water problem and placed us in an upgraded hotel called the Black Swan. Staff was wonderful and cooked me breakfast while waiting to accompany us to the Black Swan. Felt bad for them but the were wonderful and paid the $300 difference in the hotels.

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.

What a lovely find. Right on lake Rotorua with a private beach and jetty, this was an exceptional, though short, stay. Our host was charming. Fantastic breakfast and a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. In places, the property looked a little tired but overall, a real treat.

This hotel is a real gem! Beautiful grounds, comfortable rooms, and the staff is absolutely fantastic. They did everything to make our stay relaxing and worry free. The sunrises from our porch were spectacular and the private beach is like a little slice of heaven. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and stay here again in a heartbeat. On a scale of 1-10, I give them an 11!!

Amazing location, peaceful even when you don't luck out and have the whole place to yourself. Lovely breakfast (way more than I was expecting) and really great staff. Helpful and friendly. Had an amazing stay, and already recommending it to friends.

We loved the property but would have liked more dining options on site since it’s distant from town

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.

The lodge faces Rotorua Lake and is a stunning setting. Each day, you see black swans and ducks swimming in the lake. We stayed in Room 1, with perhaps the best lake view and nice porch facing the lake. The room is a little rustic, but clean and decent storage. Marlene (receptionist) was extremely helpful with our late check-in and dinner reservation. Great Breakfast in am.

Everything about Koura Lodge was exceptional. The hospitality, the views, the breakfast, the room and the location were amazing! I highly recommend staying here.

Spacious, quiet. Beautiful views. Very friendly staff. Personal touches

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

Nice boutique hotel with waterside access.
