Top Whakarewarewa Hotels

This is a geothermal area in Rotorua. The local guide took us to the Maori village where we watched the traditional dance including haka. This place is so beautiful it's worth it driving 3 hours from Auckland

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Walkable location to nearby restaurants. Also walkable to Eat Street, though driving is petty convenient around the area."

Newina Rotorua

8/10 Good

"The room was very nice and big. The pool is heated and very nice. There is a very small gym- one bike, one treadmill, one universal machine. Amenities depend on the time of year. The sauna and cafe were not available during our stay at the end of March. The location is a pretty far walk to the lake but the staff was really nice and helpful. It was easy to get Uber when needed. "

ibis Rotorua

6/10 Okay

"The air conditioning wasn’t working properly. The room was quite stuffy. A maintenance person tried to fix it. It did seem to cool off a little bit after an hour or two but not very much and it remained warm (i’m always cold, so if I thought the room was warmish 95% of the population wouldn’t like it). . She finally brought up a fan. If a cool room is important to you I would avoid this hotel. "
