On the Point - Lake Rotorua

Beautiful location

It was a beautiful hotel that used to be a private residence. Everything was very clean and luxurious. The staff was amazing.

Everything was perfect for us on the day , We went on a helicopter trip and lunch in town. Then checked into the hotel, what' a spot.

Fantastic in every way, including facilities, location, staff and services. One of the most memorable experiences ever, and I've been travelling for work and pleasure my entire adult life. You should definitely stay at On the Point at least once.

Beautiful resort just outside Rotorua (easy Uber) on the Lake. We had a private Lakeside Cottage, steps away from the main house. Incredible views, fabulous service, total luxury complete with sitting room, hot tub on the deck, kitchen and a very handy washer/dryer. Incredible sunrises from the deck (which was a bit buggy at night) and farm animals roam the fenced property. We had an excellent dinner at the restaurant on property and would have considered another if the menu were more extensive. Great hot and cold breakfast with wonderful service and views.

Driving up to the property I thought I was in heaven. It's situated right on Lake Rotorua. A fellow traveller at breakfast perfectly described it as "majestic." We were greeted warmly and were shown to our beautiful deluxe villa. The views from our balcony were stunning. Every morning I watched the sunrise. The villa was larger than many one bedroom apartments. I took advantage of feeding the on-site animals carrots. Breakfast was so delicious with the best porridge I've ever tasted. I could have eaten a jar of each of their fresh jams without bread. Service, except for dinner, as impeccable. I would have given this review five stars but I did have a few issues/suggestions: 1. We had dinner and it was truly mediocre. The bread served with the bread service was so fresh but, for four, big pieces of bread there were very little accompaniments. I ordered the seared tuna. It came to my table cold, not lukewarm, but cold. It was overcooked and dry and very disappointing. The cauliflower puree, potato gratin, and baby carrots were delicious but would have been much better hot. This dish was very expensive and did not meet my expectations. 2. The bathroom was very large but had issues. The floor was so slippery. The shower stall was vinyl and small and also slippery. It was such a small, cheap shower for this caliber of a property and this size of a bathroom. The vanity was long and shallow so it was hard to put our toiletries on it. Since the sink was so shallow, water splashed everywhere when I washed my face. The vanity could have been a lot deeper if the space was better used. 3. The bed linens were very low quality. The sheets were stiff and cheap. The comforter was very thin, like you would find at a low price hotel. Again, for the price of the room, one would expect better linens. I would in no way deter anyone from staying at the magical property. I'm just suggesting that there are little tweaks that could be made that would bring this property up to a true five star one.
