The Perfect Spot
Great weekend at the perfect spot, had all of us checking our Lotto tickets hoping we had won so we could offer to buy the property. Facilities were well utilised, spa pool and kayaks and heaps of room for our very large family.

Early Easter Holiday
We loved everything about this property. We've stayed in a lot of holiday homes and this one was our favorite. Had everything you need and more highlight were the kayaks for the babies aged 4-8. Plenty of space for everyone

Peaceful place to land
Our group stayed here on our first nights in-country, and had various flight delays and other challenges. Nicky was very communicative and helpful as our arrival times changed more than once. The lakefront was a lovely calm quiet place to recover, watching the birds and sunset. The village of Ngongotaha itself, and the north side of the lake, are also calmer alternatives when Rotorua is a bit tourist-hectic. We would definitely stay here again.

Tarawera Ultra Trail Accommodation
Waikuta Lakeside Lodge was perfect for our large group of 12 people attending the Tarawera Ultra Trail event. The 6 bedroom and 4 bathrooms suited us just right. The large kitchen and a dining table big enough for us all to sit at and share stories after the race was just great. The outdoor spa went down a treat after the run as well. I would highly recommend the lakeside lodge for your next big group getaway.

Sensational stay!
This property is amazing!!! Location is wonderful and quiet. Lake front is spectacular! The house is equipped really well for large groups, really clean, cosy and all facilities were great. Use of the kayaks was an added bonus! Plenty of space for larger groups to have different zones to peel off to. The back deck was a highlight!! Fantastic view, lots of seating, BBQ was immaculate! We could not have been happier with our stay!!

This place was a dream!
If we ever get back to Rotorua, this will be where we want to stay again! We had a hard time leaving. Every morning waking up to the Rowers on the wide open lake with good coffee while sitting on a huge deck was something that we will treasure as a memory forever! The pictures and description in the listing don’t do this place justice. We all thought we had landed in heaven! The spacious family room was exactly what we needed for our big group and the windows - oh my! As I write this review, I want to go back! We loved everything about this property! And we were able to easily get to all our activities from here!
