Gemini Lodge Rotorua Lake side paradise

Gemini Lodge, Paradise right on waters edge of Lake Rotorua.
Launch your boat, Jet ski with either your vehicle or I can help you with our tractor or borrow (free of charge) one or two of our Kayaks and launch any of these off the front of our property.
On the waters edge of Lake Rotorua, our Chalet is the ideal getaway for a relaxing few days or some exciting rides either from the Chalet with our own jet boat or at the 4WD adventure park, Gondola and luge rides or the beautiful Kiwi and trout sanctuary all within a 5 minute drive.

Perfect, cozy home!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon visit to Rotorua and loved this little home! It was close enough to the main city area but still had a private get away feel! The host is amazing and the home was very clean!! We would definitely stay here again!!

A Gem of a Property!

Gemini Lodge is an absolute gem! Our stay at this remarkable lodge was nothing short of perfection, earning it a well-deserved five-star rating. Cynthia and Joe have created an ideal retreat for those seeking a high-quality accommodation. The attention to detail in every aspect of the lodge, from the well-thought-out amenities, showcased a commitment to excellence and assurance that they have designed the lodge with the entire family in mind. Our stay at Gemini Lodge exceeded expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and memorable escape in Rotorua. Five stars without a doubt!

We Want to Go Back!

Wow! Five stars is not enough for the Gemini Lodge. Everything was perfect. Communication with Joe and Cynthia was fantastic, the grounds were immaculate, the lodging was pristine and not only had everything we needed, it had extra touches, too (including a snack basket, teas, Nespresso, extra towels, etc). The only problem was that we didn't stay long enough! If Joe offers you his custom boat ride, take him up on the offer. That was one of our favorite things we did while in NZ. Bottom line: We can't recommend this place enough and we hope we can take another vacation that allows us to stay at Gemini Lodge longer!

Lovely accomodations with lots of amenities. Only downside was lack of screening on some windows which prevented opening the windows on hot nights and not enough fans to ventilate the bedrooms.

Amazing place!

Everything was very easy. Joe and Cynthia were fantastic hosts- were there if we needed, but gave us privacy. The lodge was really spacious and had everything you needed, including some very kind welcome gifts. The shared outdoor space was incredible with a beautiful pool, hot tub and views!
