Great location
Richard
We enjoyed this stay. The kitchen is small but functional. The best part was the friendly and helpful front desk person (I can't remember his name). He went out of his way to help us with the air conditioner, and provided lots us useful info about the area.
Louise
Property across the street from the lake, but now views from our ground floor suite. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Room clean but dated.
Dale
Good location. Room a bit run down. Parking very tight
John
Great position between lake and restaurants, not far from public geothermal park. Comfortable well equipped rooms, nice barbecue area, tiny swimming pool.
christian
Room was as per advertised. Location was excellent for family stay. Nice friendly staff.
Jamie
Great accommodations just across the street from Lake Rotorua. The unit is like an apartment complete with fridge and stove. Everything was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Well located for walking to city centre and the park. Perfect for families or solo travelers.
Galina
Great location, easy parking, clean room. Nice front desk service.
Henry
Location was fantastic! 2 minute walk to Lake Rotorua on one side and Eat Street on the other. Check in was easy and the room was clean and simple :)
Aaron
Good location. Funky smell outside - not the hotels fault.
Patricia
Great customer service. Clean and tidy facilities. If the pool temperature is higher will be better.
Joiy
Very happy with our accommodation and would stay again and recommend to others. Great staff too
Jacinda
Very welcoming and great location. Room had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Parking outside the room was very tight. I would stay here again.
kristi
The staff were very friendly and helpful with obtaining things we needed, help with laundry coins and tidying up. Great stay.
Peter
Location. Room was better than expected..Close to the popular Eat street.
Laurel
Nice location, easy check in. Spacious room.
Wendie
Great room and location by eat street and across the road from lake
Robyn
Absolutely loved the location of the motel, and the room didn't disappoint either. It had everything we needed for our stay.
Michele
Lovely apartment with even lovelier view
A friendly welcome from the reception team. Apartment was a studio with kitchenette on the top floor. It was clean, spacious, had good amenities and was close to shops and restaurants. The view of Picton harbour from our balcony was absolutely amazing, we could’ve stayed there all day watching the works go by. One night was not long enough!
Leslie
High standard of accommodation. Fantastic location. Helpful host and cleaning staff. Excellent stay.
Subhabrata
Convenient location and safe. Facility is clean and comfortable. Staff I was also very friendly
Melvyn
Absolutely loved my stay! Stayed in a 1 bedroom with partner and two kids for 2 nights. Very spacious. Bedroom had queen bed and single (warm and comfortable!!) and we were facing the park across the road and the lake. Lounge had two spacious, comfortable couches that turned into beds. Kitchen had all the amenities. Bathroom had a big room with a big accessible shower and a toilet in its own room within the bathroom. Fast, efficient check in and check out process. Host was welcoming and friendly. Gave time to talk and catch up. Used the outdoor pool many times. It’s small but deep enough for a relaxing soak and warm. 4 year old lapped it up! Overall 10/10 rating and would highly recommend this place to stay. Will be back.
Jane
I had previously stayed at this property and did discuss a number of concerns that had arisen with our last stay but decided to come back again as I felt that one stay should not define what this property is all about.
This time I was very, very impress with my stay and the room I was given hence I gave a 5 star rating.
It is so ideal for overnight stays and just to spend time away with your partner.
I was given accommodation on the bottom floor which allowed easy access in and out for me especially carrying some very heavy suitcases but also recovering from head and shoulder injury.
Well done Lake Front Lodge, will definately come back again!

The location of this hotel is perfect! It has a great view of lake rotorua and it is near all the amazing restauranta of Rotorua. The guy who checked us in was very pleasant and gave us a lot of helpful tips for our visit to Rotorua. Would definitely book here again.
Jacek
Very conveniently located. Nice view. The best service on my trip.
scott
Beautiful spot near the lake and very close to Eat Street, walking distance to everything you need. The room was clean and modern with lovely staff to help with anything you need.
Kerry
A great location, close to the lakefront and Eat Streat.
Not impressed with getting a fold out couch for extra guest instead of single bed as per booking.
Could have been more attention to detail in cleaning. A bottle of old milk was left on the bench.

Stay was alright
We booked for a group of 4, so I am not sure why our room only had a queen bed and a single bed. It was a lovely room though, all warmed up when we arrived at half past 7 in the evening. We were too exhausted from our long flight and then drive from Auckland to head back to reception after we got to our room, so 3 of us shared the queen bed. The unit was clean and the toilet spacious. I would however suggest getting a unit on the upper floors if you are able to bring your suitcases up the stairs, because each morning we found a few cockroaches on the kitchen floor that crawled into our unit from perhaps a gap in the kitchen flooring. On the second night we made sure to clean up and clear our rubbish before we slept, but that still did not keep the cockroaches away. The motel is located just across the lake with the boardwalk and the huge playground. We were able to watch the sun rise every morning from our unit and patio, so everything else made up for the bedding and pest situation.
Danielle
Perfect place to stay on the waterfront. Walkable to everything.

Pictures look better than reality
The lodge is located next to a busy road, after which is the lake, not as peaceful as it looks in the picture. The “balcony” is actually the walkway for the rooms upstairs, often we had to close the draps for privacy.
Cynthia
Large room near restaurants and a great park.
Alan
Good location. Clean & comfortable.
Stephen
Okay, so let’s get this out the way: it’s a little dated but only to the 80s with some interesting decor. Something of an old school motel. But it’s clean, very well equipped, and the real winning quality: in a FANTASTIC location. You couldn’t ask for a better spot. And a shout out to John: a real friendly chap and genuinely welcoming.
Ranna
Wonderful property with very attentive manager — John is terrific. He’s got great advice and is always friendly. I’ll be back!!
Ishan

Great views, next to eat street, good sized rooms
Sharyn
Well appointed and great location. Very comfortable unfortunately I couldn’t stay longer.
Thomas
The views of the park and lake were great, but unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there. The room was large and well appointed. The queen bed was very nice, but the pull-out bed for our daughter wasn't fit for an adult (uncomfortable).
