Ga je naar Hobbiton en wil je daarna bijkomen van een geweldige dag? Dan is de Lake Karapiro Lodge een aanrader. Een geweldig uitzicht, heerlijk zwembad (en jacuzzi) en super vriendelijke eigenaren staan voor je klaar. Ook het ontbijt was helemaal top! Kortom, aanrader!

Amazing couple running this lodge. 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.

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.

Formidable place secluded yet conveniently located near most attractions of Rotorua. The highlights of our short stay include the sauna and spa near the lake and our breakfast near the fireplace. We will definitely come back to Koura lodge and stay longer.
