Regent of Rotorua Boutique Hotel, hotel in

The Regent of Rotorua Boutique Hotel features a heated outdoor pool, indoor mineral pool, restaurant and unlimited free Wi-Fi for guests to enjoy.

The room was nicely furnished but was stiflingly hot when we arrived and had no opening windows. we then turned on the air conditioner and it was quite clear that the filters had not been cleaned and there was a strong odour of mould. we told the manager we could not breath, let alone stay in that room, so she offered us another room that was not as nice for $50 more a night. We checked out.

FAQs about hotels








A Volcanic Land of Wonders

Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.

This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.

Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.

More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange. 

Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.

    So much to do in Rotorua...Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre was definitely a highlight for us and a must visit ...also Waimangu Volcanic Valley was fantastic...need to have a car to get there but only about half an hour from Parkside Boutique Lodge

    This house is large and has everything needed but furniture and bedding are old. House could be cleaned a bit better as the room I stayed in had cobwebs in the corners. The furniture is old and stained from use. The sheets on my bed were stained and the bedding was old. All bedding was clean. This house is on the edge of Rotorua and takes about 7 minutes to drive to the CBD. It rates quite a bit above where it should but houses of this size are not that common. We only used two of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did not do any cooking. Both bathrooms were fully functional. Outside under the carport there are drying lines for clothing. There were towels and blankets hanging on the clotheslines the entire two days we stayed here.

    2 or 3 day stay is enough to see the most interesting sights. One of the hot pools is definitely worth a visit, probably Polynesian as they are the staple (or Wai Ariki but that's more expensive). We also loved the gondola and a buffet dinner on top of the hill in the Stratosphere restaurant. One of the maori villages is also a must, we did Whakarewarewa which was informative and the cultural dance was great to see. Waimangu valley is great.

    This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging. Lots of things to interest most if not everyone. Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat

    So much to do!

    So much to do! It's become the Queenstown of the north island - lots of adventure activities. We did spend a fair bit of money, but we also had a great time, they just need some more good quality restaurants, and better coffee in the township - the best we found was out in the suburbs. I loved our time there, especially the mountain biking - so fun. People were all friendly and helpful too. Def a gret place to visit, esp if you have tweens / bigger kids.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes . Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

    The room was very clean and had 2 queen beds, a kitchenette and a good bath/shower combo. The hotel has good parking and is close to lots of the key activities (eg, zip line base, gondola, luge) and only a short drive to the spas, Eat street and the city. There are laundromats close by and lots of fast food outlets. One of the key assets is that it’s walkable to Countdown/Woolworths just across the road.

    I loved that the host put the heat pump on for us before we arrived. We got to Rotorua late as we flown up from Dunedin. Everything went so smoothly no complicated situations. My mother passed away and our family home already had visitors from overseas. I was so happy with the Airbnb me and my family stayed in it was close to my mums house.

    The Pullman is a new hotel in the CDB that has been fitted out very well. It is close to the events centre, Eat Street & the lake. The rooms were quiet, spacious & easy to relax in. Hotel staff were friendly. There is an in house bar as well as a large foyer to wait in. Would stay here again next time in Rotorua.
