    What really made our experience stand out was the exceptional service, particularly from Mr. Ajay Dhaiya. Ajay was not only supportive and helpful throughout our stay but also exhibited a level of professionalism and dedication that was truly commendable. His hard work and attention to detail did not go unnoticed, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. From the moment we arrived at VR Rotorua Lake Resort, we knew our stay would be something special. The resort's stunning location, right by the tranquil lake, set the scene for a truly relaxing getaway. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The accommodation itself was wonderful, with clean, well-appointed rooms offering stunning views. In conclusion, our stay at VR Rotorua Lake Resort was not just memorable because of the beautiful setting and excellent facilities, but also because of the incredible staff, led by examples like Ajay. We'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to our friends and family. Thank you, VR Rotorua Lake Resort and Ajay, for an unforgettable experience!

    We realy loved our stay here. The apartment was well equipped, we had everything we needed in the kitchenette. There was a complimentary bottle of local fresh full cream milk in the fridge and local good quality coffe was provided. The apartment could be heated by the aircin or geothermal heating, we preferred the latter for for the cooler evenings and mornings. The bed was comfortable, linen was good quality. Everything was spotlessly clean and the selective bins were emptied and new towles were provided daily. Our apartment was on the groundfloor but it was quiet and the sun shone through the windows in the morning.The accomodation is in a very good area of Rotorua, walking distance to the center and just a step to the lake boardwalk, busstop and village green. We enjoyed our walks in the morning there. The check in was smooth, they provided contactless checkin and checkout outside of business hours.

    We loved the hot pools and the cold pool. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were very clean and spacious. There is a little herb garden growing and they have a communal barbeque that you can use. Location wise, it's close to everything. 5 minute drive from the town, about 15/20 from the adventure activities like zip lining and water rafting. Definitely would stay again.

    Great location - away from the bustle of Rotorua - but just a quick drive to get into town. Super close to the amazing Okere Falls cafe and lovely bush walk. Easy access to zip lining, sledging and white water rafting. Relaxing space, and a little less sulphur smell than other areas around the lake.

    My grandchildren played in a annual New Zealand Maori League Rugby Tournament held in Rotorua over the weekend from 27/9/2025 & 28/9/2025 with teams locally, nationally and Internationally participating in this tournament which would've generated much needed revenue and tourism to local business hotels and motels in the area. Almost all hotels and motels had been booked out months in advance so to find avaliable accomodation at Rotorua Hostel for my family was a god send BUT to have my reservation cancelled the day of Our booking in was A Big Disappointment and to find other accomodation within budget at last minute was impossible. Would I reccommend Rotorua Hostel NO DEFINATELY NOT

    I loved the nature and surrounding lake and canals. Good for people with boats and who want to get away from populated areas. If needing food supplies bring with you as the restaurant on site works according to bookings (eg not all day /all the time). Very enjoyable site to relax and enjoy the pool, nature and gym onsite though.
