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 Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our room had an amazing view of Lake Rotorua. The area is nice and quiet and relaxing. The complementary breakfast was very delicious. Parking was okay, but the driveway was very narrow and only one lane. Overall highly recommended if you really want to stay away from the tourists. ##### Matthew Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 31 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky 28 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve 17 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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!! ##### Steve Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 27 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### On the waterfront. 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1CF9EDBB2BECCAEF9D6C45F7F46B346BEB15DAC41706375630838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E75B8353D889ADEFA1B090D1C29BD864A474B761706375638330.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E4245869CD3D2A6A6FAB1917CAC13D0B082A5C8A1706375642543.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E68D9D1789B5CBC2B2533D477391B9C6AD75A82A1706375645661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Douglas 6 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Douglas Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gorgeous Lakeside Retreat This place was spectacular! 2 sets of sliding glass doors in our room opened onto a deck just steps from the lake. There were kayaks available for guests to use. There was a pretty lawn with lounge chairs and beautiful landscaping. We didn’t have an opportunity to use them, but there was a hot tub and a sauna next to the lake. Breakfast was very good, and it could be eaten outdoors on the deck overlooking the lake or in a lovely room with a cozy fireplace and cathedral ceiling and wall of glass with amazing views. The manager was wonderful and very accommodating. Breakfast started at 7:00, but when we told him we had to check out at 6:00, he got up early and made breakfast available for us at 5:30 a.m. It was a comfortable, beautiful place, and I couldn’t rate it any higher! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/405D522A23F3DA84597B8A7248A4F046E2372C181743306641272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A03310747785DC78AFDC3425306AE22634FBE9461743306633972.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F0F4072B498F2F826BBD00ABDF0766BB851BCC8D1743306640994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81AC8B1BB7CCF868BB395B031B5D4F2733C519A81743306641282.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet and peaceful Very quiet, no sulfur smell. It's right on the lake and you can watch the sun rise every morning. Be aware some of the rooms are actually 2 rooms joined together! They don't advertise this well. I was unpleasantly surprised to find I (traveling solo) had booked 2 hotel rooms! The manager seemed really reluctant to do anything until I escalated my complaints to the owner. He fed me lines of BS about the 2nd room "It's the ensuite" "it's the sitting room" "all our rooms are like this". It was very frustrating to deal with. Eventually they put me in a more suitable single room next door. It had cobwebs but was generally clean and comfortable. They have a sauna/hottub and kayaks you can borrow. It's a little far from the city center so have a car or don't mind paying for Uber. The breakfast is really good ##### Ross Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 16 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lake side rooms with amazing views and a lovely decking in this small boutique guest house ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clinton 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic spot with everything you need ##### Clinton Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Philippines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Philippines.d145.Hotel-Destinations) > > [ Leonardo Boutique Hotel Krakow City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krakow-Hotels-Metropolis-Design-Hotel.h8763825.Hotel-Information) > > [Houseboats Ely](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ely-Houseboats.d55304-aaHouseboats.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Parking in King's Lynn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d4669-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Wembley Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wembley-Stadium-Hotels.0-l501565-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Méridien Paris Arc De Triomphe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Paris-Arc-De-Triomphe.h6454.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Holcombe Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holcombe-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248635978573300-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rydges Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Rydges-Rotorua.h329597.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Le-Touquet-Paris-Plage-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2153-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Inns Altrincham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Altrincham-Inns.d5856-aaInns.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels.d1334.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Es Canutells](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Es-Canutells-Hotels.d6048007.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Island View Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Opotiki-Hotels-Island-View-Holiday-Park.h9624950.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Saturnia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saturnia-Hotels.d4325.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Tampa, FL (TPA-Tampa Intl.) to Chicago, IL (CHI-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tpa/chi/tampa-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ord/tpa/chicago-to-tampa) > > [British Airways Gatwick (LGW) to Gibraltar (GIB) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-gatwick-to-gibraltar/ba/lgw/gib) ### Activities ### Packages ### General > [Visit Morfa Nefyn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morfa-Nefyn.dx3000010471) > > [Visit Hampton Bays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hampton-Bays.dx183681) > > [Visit Suadiye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Suadiye.dx6241212) > > [Visit Norrmalm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockholm-Norrmalm.dx179805) > > [Visit Walton-le-Dale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Walton-Le-Dale.dx3000714414) ---
