Great Spot for a Rotorua stay

This place was better than advertised. Great view across the park to the lake, easy walk to Eat Street and other dining options, and very well outfitted . Quiet building. Fully equipped kitchen, generously sized bathrooms and lots of room throughout the flat. Communication throughout the booking process and our stay with property manager was fantastic. Would definitely stay there again!

Wish we were there longer

We had a short visit April 1-3 2025. Family of 3 with so much room. Beds were comfy, furniture was nice. Didn't cook there but kitchen had all amenities one would need too. EAT ST is right next door and lake front is too.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Rotorua

We had a wonderful stay for 3 nights at the Lakeside Loft, it is truly right in the heart and soul of Rotorua! Near to a lakeside walk and park for kids, but not close enough to make it a distraction. A dozen restaurants and ice cream only steps away! Our favorite was Croucher Craft Brew for the mussels, but get there early because they run out. The apartment was huge, spotless and well appointed. The bed was beyond comfortable, with high end sheets and comforter. So much nicer than a hotel, could not have been better. Thank you Kristin for the quick response to questions and helpful suggestions on what to do in the area. We wish we had booked for a week, but now we know where to stay in Rotorua!

Great Property, very clean A+. Heating wasn't working for last two nights, thankfully its a warm dry apartment. House manager was happy to drop off a heater however we didn't need it. Over all this is a fantastic, super clean apartment that deserves a 5* rating.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt mit den vielen Wandermöglichkeiten sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und hat alles, was wir brauchten. Gegebenenfalls wäre ein Grill praktisch gewesen. Bei der Einfahrt muss man, falls man ein tief liegendes Auto hat, aufpassen. Unsere C-Klasse hat dort immer aufgesetzt. Das soll aber kein negativen Einfluss auf die Bewertung haben. Wir behalten die Unterkunft bei zukünftigen Ausflügen definitiv im Hinterkopf.
