Our overnight stay at Parkside Boutique Lodge in Rotorua was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the convenience of the parking, making our arrival and departure hassle-free. The lodge is perfectly situated just a 15-minute ride from the city center, providing easy access to all the local attractions and amenities. Despite being close to the city, the lodge offered a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect retreat. The property itself is amazing, offering a serene and secure environment. We felt completely at ease throughout our stay, thanks in large part to the welcoming and incredibly assistive Property Manager. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort was evident from the start. Our room was immaculate, with cleanliness and freshness that made it feel like a true home away from home. The next morning, we were treated to a delightful breakfast that provided a perfect start to our day. The common areas, including the kitchen, lobby, and dining space, were appealing and fully equipped to meet all our basic needs. The lodge also boasts excellent amenities, such as a pool, a mini gym, and a basic sauna, adding to the overall relaxation and enjoyment of our brief stay. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view from our room. As nature lovers, we were captivated by the peaceful and incredible scenery that surrounded us, making our stay even more special. Considering all these wonderful aspects, the price of our stay was incredibly affordable and well worth it. We left Parkside Boutique Lodge with the intention of returning in the future, as it truly provided an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Rotorua!

Tucked away in quiet location within easy reach by car of Rotarua the Parkside Boutique Lodge was the ideal location for our two night stay. The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The private outdoor space very welcome at the end of a busy day. The bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast comprised of a choice of cereals, toast, a delicious bowl of cut fruit and a plate with a choice of cold meat, cheese, boiled eggs, avocados and tomatoes. Coffee and a choice of teas and fruit juice were available. There’s a fridge in the communal kitchen area. Our days were busy so we didn’t use the pool, gym or sauna.

We loved our stay with Jenny and would stay there again in the future. Everything was amazing from the delicious breakfast every morning, the patio from our room overlooked these beautiful hills, the pool and sauna were such a treat after hours hiking, the en-suite bathroom was lovely with all the touches of an upscale spa, and the location was perfect in every sense. We were very close to Mitai village, the Zorbs, the gondola and winery. The other attractions were within 30 min by car. The bonus for us was that though it was close to everything the location did not have the sulphur smell as we got into town. Jenny and her husband were lovely!

Our stay at Parkside was very quiet & peaceful...we loved everything about the property...the bed was very comfortable, great bathroom, breakfast was just perfect...Gary gave us some great tips for things to do around the area...cannot think of anything they could do to improve! Thank you for looking after us so well...much appreciated!

There wasn't anything we didn't like...would say though that it is necessary to have a car as it is in a residential area...still a very easy drive into town

This B&B was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. It is in a quiet neighborhood, less than 15 minutes away from downtown Rotorua. Vivienne, the owner, was very attentive and friendly. Breakfast each morning consisted of granola, yogurt, fresh fruit, toast - and Viv's own freshly made avocado toast. Each of the 3 rooms has its own little patio and guests have use of a communal sitting room, dining room, small kitchen, and a patio. There is even a swimming pool and workout room. I would come back here in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this B&B.

I really can't think of anything.

Staying at Parkside Boutique Lodge was an absolute pleasure. The host went above and beyond, catering to my dietary needs with a delicious breakfast that even included gluten-free options! The peaceful ambiance, coupled with stunning views, made for a truly rejuvenating experience. Plus, the added bonus of being able to use the red sauna was the cherry on top. Highly recommended for a serene getaway.

Comfortable, private, quiet, nice breakfast included at a time you choose (within reason, of course), nice owner/operators who are locals, keeps you travel dollars in the community.

Most Rotorua activities are either in town or south of town, and the lodging is north, so there’s 10-15 minutes extra of driving, but this also creates the quiet and the privacy that we really enjoyed.

quiet location outside of Rotorua but a very easy short drive to get there. The rooms were very comfortable, large comfy bed, spacious bathroom with a very good shower. The kitchen/lounge area for guests was excellent. All rooms have a terrace overlooking the garden and mountains which would be lovely to sit in on a hot day. We were not able to use the heated pool as the weather was bad but that too was great. The whole property was immaculately clean and Viv, the owner, was very helpful with local knowledge. We would certainly recommend it and would stay again without question

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Viv was a friendly and accommodating host with a great eye for detail. The bright and modern decor and leafy surroundings made us feel cheery despite the rainy weather! The furnishings in the room were luxurious and room/bathroom were spacious. Everything was beautifully clean, and had been carefully considered - from having antibacterial wipes on hand, to the shared kitchen stocked with beverages and snacks we could help ourselves to. The continental breakfast was simple and fresh to get us going in the morning. There were extra amenities such as the gym, sauna & pool which we didn't get a chance to use but the wide range of leaflets helped us plan our activities. Our time staying here exceeded our expectations.

I had a great rest. The view from the accommodation was so beautiful and the interior of the accommodation was clean and nice. I really liked the warm towel rack in the bathroom. The best thing was that the host was so kind. I was moved by the preparation of breakfast so well, and I was touched by the accommodation and the kind owner, Everything was so good!😍 I was a little upset while traveling, but thanks to the host, I felt great while I was in Rotorua. Thank you so much.

Although it's a little far from town, I was able to rest well thanks to the quiet and beautiful scenery.
