Aorangi Mountain Lodge

Views are absolutely stunning and the property is gorgeous, really cool design and the bedrooms all have amazing views. Cosy living space with the fireplace too.

A number of the kitchen appliances were not working including the oven. We had a bad experience on our second night as there was heavy rain and the ceiling leaked, plus a bad odour came into the room with the heavy rain, possibly a blocked drain. The outside areas are in need of a little TLC, some rotting wood, it's all a bit run down.

The house has an absolutely magical view right out over Rotorua and the lake. The large deck space allows for dining outside and gorgeous views. The bedrooms were all spacious with great quality beds. So a fantastic sleep for all.

The views, the house and the owner was very lovely! This is our second time staying at this place and i can atest that it has great improved! The place is a lot cleaner, new furniture added and no more mouldy carpet or walls. Also Electric blankets and heater are provided for every corner of the house which made it warm and cosy. Only issue is the limited hot water supply and the wifi. If travelling with a big group hot showers should be scheduled so everyone can have warm shower. Wifi doesn't work but not a big issue. The place is a lot better now, not sure if the owner has changed. Definitely the views will what makes you comeback to this place. Loved our short stay ❤️

The toilets, limited hot water and wifi

The view was awesome.

Little difficult to access. A lot of cobwebs, had interesting lighting. An aircon would have been nice as of a night door's and windows wouldn't be open.

Hands down the best view in Rotorua overlooking Skyline Rotorua. Every room has a view & is equally stunning. The property has a character of its own. Rooms are big and comfortable. We were a family of 8 and everyone enjoyed our one night stay. Hosts are honest and friendly. We were called and advised before check-in that ovens are not working & offered free cancelation. Also had it not been for the detailed text instructions from the host, we may have found finding the place a bit difficult as it is a bit tucked away. Value from money.

The outside area could do with a do-up but I'm guessing it is a work in progress. Few bugs & spiders, but not because the place is not clean but because of the location of the property.

Everything, from the views the amount of space inside and out totally felt like we were on a secluded island, full size kitchen with everything alot of heating to keep warm and cosy, the host was extremely helpful and communication on everything and anything is vast. Would definitely reccomend to all.

This place was fantastic location is just amazing, the staff were very friendly, house had everything you need whether that be short or longer stays..the views of rotorua from here must be the best you could hope for...

I have no complaints exactly as described. Very 😊

breathtaking view offered by the site made other thing unimportant

other than a few minor issues, i.e. range hood, down lights on top of the kitchen sink, 2 of the 6 burner gas cooktop not working, all others are satisfactory

Amazing location. Huge home with plenty of space for everyone. Fantastic deck.

There is a restaurant on site that we assumed would be open but it was closed. The Outdoor BBQ was unusable and we could not get the oven to work.

Amazing location high above Rotorua giving a unique perspective of the thermal landscape. Very quiet and private.

The rooms were very light in the morning.
