Overview

Enjoy a lakefront stay at Koura Lodge, a bed and breakfast located on the picturesque shores of Lake Rotorua in New Zealand. The lodge is named after the native fresh-water crayfish found in the local waterways, reflecting its deep connection to the New Zealand landscape. You'll be surrounded by panoramic lake views, showcasing Mokoia Island and Mount Tarawera, which you can admire right from the lodge. When you're in the mood to explore the city and its renowned attractions, you'll only be a 5-minute drive away, making it convenient to explore Rotorua.

Koura Lodge offers nine luxurious rooms with 180-degree lake views and hardwood verandas. The rooms are cozy and inviting, each offering a king-sized bed, cotton bed linen, and feather pillows. Interiors feature wooden walls, creating a cabin atmosphere, and the floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor. For an upgrade, opt for the Apartment, which features a spacious lounge with a billiard table, an oak dining table, and a private outdoor balcony perfect for unwinding.

Your stay includes a buffet, cooked breakfast, and access to shared kitchenette facilities. You can also unwind in the lakeside open-air hot tub or sauna or take advantage of the lodge's canoes for a peaceful paddle on the lake. If you'd like to maintain your fitness routine, visit the property's tennis court, where you can enjoy a friendly game and stay entertained during your stay.
