"Great place for families to stay! The kids highlight was the heated pool, we couldn’t get them out. Cottage was spacious, well stocked and perfect for larger families. Location was excellent - close enough to everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. We can’t wait to come back again next year."

Excellent property with TV including Sky in the lounge and both bedrooms. Close to supermarkets, fast food options and a 5 min drive to town. Easy parking and a nice pool added to what was a great facility.

Absolutely lovely service! The beautiful lady at reception noticed I was pregnant and thoughtfully changed my room from upstairs to downstairs without me even having to ask. Such a thoughtful and caring gesture that made my stay so much easier and comfortable. Thank you for going the extra mile! Highly recommend💚

We are a family of 2 kids (17 and 11yo) and we enjoyed the 1-bedroom luxury suite we had. The bathroom is huge with 2 sinks, a spacious spa (we could all fit in if we wanted to). We loved the jets, lights and the music via bluetooth while relaxing in the spa. And since it was raining the whole day, we enjoyed our time together playing table tennis instead. We didn’t miss the pool not being heated at all due to bad weather. But we loved the spa and Rotorua during this travel. Will definitely...

Awesome facilities! Great spot undergoing improvements. Never use wotif to book as they charged us $39.00 on top of what we would have paid if we booked directly with top 10. Absolutely

Excellent standards in the room, clean and cosy, Fantastic playground, no noise from roads~ the location is great, opposite of Ogo and within a min drive to skyline. Plus, the owner allowed our kids to go to the chicken house to get 9 eggs for free. Awesome service really made us feel welcome.

We had 3 nights here and were very happy with our stay. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The thermal spa was a fantastic place to relax after a busy day. The motel owner was friendly and helpful, giving us a discount voucher (and umbrellas) for a visit to one of the thermal sites

Arrived here during a big winter storm. Large unit but easily heated with one heater which we had to turn off overnight because we would have overheated.
The extra facilities like minigolf and bicycles weren't any good in the pouring rain, but would help keep young kids occupied in better weather.

The best area to stay in Kapenga is the Kapenga Lakefront, particularly around the central village area.
This area is the heart of Kapenga, offering direct access to the beautiful lake and a range of amenities. You'll find a good selection of quality accommodation options, from boutique hotels to self-catering apartments, all within a short stroll of the lake's edge. The main street, Kapenga Road, runs parallel to the lake and is home to most of the village's shops, cafes, and restaurants. It's a very walkable area, making it easy to get around and enjoy the scenery.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the Kapenga Lakefront ideal. You can enjoy scenic walks along the shoreline, hire a kayak or paddleboard directly from the lakefront, or simply relax at one of the lakeside cafes. Many accommodations here offer rooms with lake views, superb for enjoying a quiet morning coffee together.
For families, the Kapenga Lakefront also offers plenty to keep everyone entertained. The lake itself provides opportunities for swimming and water activities, and there are often playgrounds and open green spaces nearby.
When is the best time to go to Kapenga?
The best time to go to Kapenga is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the region's natural beauty.
During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, great for enjoying the geothermal parks, lakes, and forests. The long daylight hours also mean more time for sightseeing and adventures. This is particularly appealing for couples looking for a romantic getaway with plenty of opportunities for scenic walks and outdoor dining.
For families, the summer months offer the best conditions for visiting attractions like the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest, where you can enjoy walking and mountain biking trails. The warmer lake temperatures are also great for swimming and water sports on Lake Rotorua.
