Intentionally designed home with space for both small and large groups. Comfortable beds, cozy nooks, and a warm fireplace made this property a home away from home for us. The views of the lake and wildlife are unparalleled. The hot tub is a nice opportunity and has such a great view on the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We even managed to get out with the kayaks which was a gift with some drizzling July rain. The location is a touch away from the busy downtown area but remains accessible by a short drive and no sulfur smells like some other homes had as comments from other travelers.

Great weekend at the perfect spot, had all of us checking our Lotto tickets hoping we had won so we could offer to buy the property. Facilities were well utilised, spa pool and kayaks and heaps of room for our very large family.

We loved everything about this property. We've stayed in a lot of holiday homes and this one was our favorite. Had everything you need and more highlight were the kayaks for the babies aged 4-8. Plenty of space for everyone

Our group stayed here on our first nights in-country, and had various flight delays and other challenges. Nicky was very communicative and helpful as our arrival times changed more than once. The lakefront was a lovely calm quiet place to recover, watching the birds and sunset. The village of Ngongotaha itself, and the north side of the lake, are also calmer alternatives when Rotorua is a bit tourist-hectic. We would definitely stay here again.

Waikuta Lakeside Lodge was perfect for our large group of 12 people attending the Tarawera Ultra Trail event. The 6 bedroom and 4 bathrooms suited us just right. The large kitchen and a dining table big enough for us all to sit at and share stories after the race was just great. The outdoor spa went down a treat after the run as well. I would highly recommend the lakeside lodge for your next big group getaway.

This property is amazing!!! Location is wonderful and quiet. Lake front is spectacular! The house is equipped really well for large groups, really clean, cosy and all facilities were great. Use of the kayaks was an added bonus! Plenty of space for larger groups to have different zones to peel off to. The back deck was a highlight!! Fantastic view, lots of seating, BBQ was immaculate! We could not have been happier with our stay!!

If we ever get back to Rotorua, this will be where we want to stay again! We had a hard time leaving. Every morning waking up to the Rowers on the wide open lake with good coffee while sitting on a huge deck was something that we will treasure as a memory forever! The pictures and description in the listing don’t do this place justice. We all thought we had landed in heaven! The spacious family room was exactly what we needed for our big group and the windows - oh my! As I write this review, I want to go back! We loved everything about this property! And we were able to easily get to all our activities from here!

Great water pressure, endless hot water, fluffy towels and kitchen knives that actually cut... this place has all the little details that make a difference. Our extended family group of 9 found the lodge perfect as a home base to explore the region, but also spent some time in the lodge enjoying the morning sun on the deck and the kids canoeing out front. It didnt matter what activity we did, it was always great to come home to a house that felt cosy yet had so much space! Would recommend for larger groups and families, and will definitely book again if we come back to Rotorua.

Several friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this property, especially for its location right on the lake and central point for numerous other activities. Having the separate guesthouse was perfect given the size of our group. We would have enjoyed the deck and kayaks a bit more if it hadn't been for Cyclone Gabrielle passing through and dumping lots of rain and big gusts of wind on us!

Plenty of space, comfortable beds. Unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t get to use a lot of the facilities like kayaks or spa. The kitchen area smelt a little damp but that was probably the endless rain. Great living and outdoor area with views of the lake.

We had nine of us day, one-year-old right up to grandparents including Aunty‘s and uncles. The house was big enough that we didn’t get under each other’s feet and fully equipped with everything in the kitchen that you could ever need. The house was clean and tidy and a really amazing place to stay. The view to wake up to every morning was unbelievable

This property is immaculately presented with no end of utilities. The lodge is spacious and can accommodate a large number of people. The lodge feels like a family home, with a welcoming and comfortable layout. The location is superb, very close to the shops and attractions but still very private and quiet. Excellent property and would highly recommend.

A gorgeous setting on the lake in a quiet neighborhood where you can sit back and enjoy the beautiful view. The house is well equipped and having a spa and bbq was awesome. I would definitely recommend if you want somewhere close to town but away from the hustle and bustle.

Awesome Family Venue

Awesome Family Venue

This was an amazing property for all 12 of us, from grandparents to 2 x 2 year old cuzzies. It was cold outside and the house was warm and cozy even though it was big and spacious. The hot spa was a fun place for us all to hang out together. We had a place for each one of us e.g. my partner did yoga in the main bedroom while the kids all watched a movie in the lounge by the fire and some of us were in the spa or out walking by the lake. We all had perfect sleeping spaces too. The Lake was cold but good for a quick dip between spa soaks and although the kayaks weren't used, we could have, we did the luge instead. A great house for a large family. Thankyou so much, Gay and whānau.

Nicky and Sam's bach was perfect for our extended family with ages from 2 to 70+. With Lake Rotorua on the doorstep we had a invigorating winter's dip in the lake and then relaxed in the spa . Toys to entertain the children and sky sport for the adults. Bach was well equipped, spacious, warm and clean. We enjoyed our stay.
