On the Point - Lake Rotorua

On The Point was possibly the nicest place we have ever stayed! The staff was lovely, the food excellent, and the accommodations superb! Our room had an unobstructed view of Lake Rotorua from its broad porch. The view came with sheep, one of which would raise itself on it’s hind legs to receive pieces of apple and carrot, supplied by the kitchen. In addition to the hot tub our rooms I were like a small home. There were a fully equipped kitchen , a gas fireplace, large living room, and bedroom and well thought out bathroom. My wife said “I am never leaving!“

Everyone at this hotel was very accommodating. Beautiful rooms with great views. Breakfast was great each morning, and Nicky was a fantastic server going above and beyond. Dinner was also very good. It is outside the central rotoura area and as such most tours won’t pick you up there, but it is a 10 min drive into town and we found it very easy to get an uber quickly, so no issues getting around.

Our check-in felt a bit awkward—we were told many (many) times how the property and views are “quite stunning” as we were shown around. Everything else was very nice. Room had a great view, and we really liked the breakfast (and breakfast staff). Parking on the hill was tricky!
