Koura Lodge – Your Lakeside Escape in Rotorua

Welcome to Koura Lodge, a boutique lakeside retreat where relaxation meets adventure, and every stay feels like something special. Nestled right on the shores of stunning Lake Rotorua, this unique hideaway offers breathtaking views, warm hospitality in this geothermal wonderland.

Wake Up to the Water

With just nine beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a private ensuite and lake views, Koura Lodge offers an intimate and peaceful escape. Step outside and stroll across the manicured lawns to the lake’s edge, where the only sounds you’ll hear are native birdsong and the gentle lapping of the water.

Adventure Right from the Jetty

Start your day with an early morning paddle—take a canoe from the lodge and explore the tranquil waters, or simply sip your coffee while soaking up the view. For something truly unforgettable, take to the skies with a scenic floatplane flight right from the lodge’s private jetty. Soar over steaming geothermal landscapes, bubbling mud pools, and Rotorua’s dramatic volcanic terrain—an experience you won’t forget.

Unwind in Style

After a day of exploring, return to the lodge and sink into the hot tub, letting the warmth ease tired muscles as you gaze out over the lake. 

Lakeside Dining at Its Finest
Evenings at Koura Lodge are a treat. As the sun sets over the water, enjoy a gourmet dinner crafted by the lodge’s  chef, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you choose to dine al fresco on the terrace or inside with panoramic lake views, it’s an experience to savour. Dining must be pre-booked 48 hours in advance.

Discover Rotorua’s Wonders
