"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tarawera Forest?

The best area to stay in Tarawera Forest is around Lake Tarawera itself, particularly in areas offering direct lake access or views.Families looking for a relaxing holiday with plenty of outdoor activities will find the lodges and holiday homes around The Landing and Te Wairoa particularly appealing. These areas provide easy access to the lake for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. There are also walking tracks nearby, such as the Tarawera Trail, which offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding forest. The Buried Village of Te Wairoa offers an interesting historical attraction for all ages.For travellers seeking a more secluded and luxurious retreat, properties further along the lake towards the Hot Water Beach area offer privacy and often come with private jetties and stunning vistas.

When is the best time to go to Tarawera Forest?

The best time to go to Tarawera Forest is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and dry, making it ideal for outdoor activities.During this period, the forest's walking and cycling trails, such as the Tarawera Trail and the Western Okataina Walkway, are in excellent condition. The warm temperatures are also superb for swimming and kayaking in Lake Tarawera, with its clear waters and thermal springs accessible by boat. This is an excellent time for families looking to enjoy a range of outdoor adventures together.For travellers who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) also offer good conditions. Autumn brings stunning foliage changes, particularly around the lake's edges, while spring sees new growth and wildflowers.
