Pohutu Lodge Motel

An incredibly comfortable bed and great having the spa bath in your room.

nice spacious room, parts are in need of repair, parking was difficult as there were nights i had to park on the street.

We enjoyed a nice stay at the Lodge ,just the uncertainty of of the level of service regarding the bed making , we were not sure whether the beds would be made as most venues did, Overall a good stay . we think the company we booked the sites we stayed at should make it clear what the services are .

Very spacious, well priced, good location. Friendly staff

location was good, staff was friendly and helpful, good stay

Booked 2 bedroom suite but got family room which was disappointing, I didn't like the photos of that room online and even more in person. Weird energy / vibe soon as we walked in.No stovetop or oven which is why I booked the 2 bedroom suite in the first place so could cook for my kids as it was noted in the room facilities. The floor creaked from bathroom to kitchen when walked on. At night it just creaked by itself. Saw weird things in the bathroom mirrors. It was the worst at night - always heard noises around the room and footsteps on the stairs and upstairs when no one was there. Always felt like people were in the room with us or around us. Our kids randomly sat up sleeping while they were sleeping which they never do. Went out at night to avoid sleeping early in the room. Stayed out all day & up late to get so tired so we could sleep through without waking. Our kids were too scared to sleep upstairs so we all slept in lounge. Our last night partner sat up & watched over us. All of us were seeing and hearing strange things that freaked us out. I wanted to make a complaint as soon as we arrived but my partner didn't want to cause a fuss since staff were so nice. It was just creepy and didn't like the energy and couldn't wait to get out of the room. Packed up night before. The place itself is nice and the staff were lovely. Pohutu Geyser at the back was cool. Might stay again but in another room. Too many creepy things were happening that we couldn't understand or explain

Accommodation was lovely, the rooms were massive and it was so close to the geyser that you could just walk up a small hill and see it at your leisure. Staff was friendly and if you check in with them about the activities you are planning they have some discounts to give out.

A very large 1 bedroom suite with a spa tub and shower. Reception was very friendly. This time of year didn't require the air conditioning, so the climate was fine when the windows were open. Close to the highway, so you have to deal with a bit of road noise with the windows open, but it wasn't a bother. Parking a vehicle without a backup camera requires a bit of manual dexterity, but manageable . On the edge of Rotorua, but within 10-15 minutes driving distance of most of the local flavor. Good one night stay for me.

Great to have master bedroom and living areas upstairs away from the kids downstairs. Great value for money and nice amount of space set out well. Great view of the geyser out the back too

Management were very helpful leaving instructions where to find key as we arrived very late in the evening. Car parking outside of each unit is suited for small cars, so don’t try and park big cars like we did, you’ll get boxed in.
