Description :
Kawaha Point Lodge is a beautifully restored, family owned retreat on the shores of Lake Rotorua with commanding views from Rotorua city to Mount Tarawera. Your owner hosts, New Zealanders Tony and Margaret will pamper you amongst the luxurious surroundings of antique furniture, persian rugs and local art.

About the property:
Rotorua is one of the most famous destinations in New Zealand, and has a long history of welcoming visitors. From the moment people arrive in Rotorua they know they're somewhere quite different. At nearby geothermal hotspots there are spouting geysers, acrid-smelling mud pools bubbling and belching, and warm geothermal pools and ponds that create a kaleidoscope of colour.

Rotorua is also the heartland of New Zealand's Maori culture, and visitors can enjoy a performance of song and dance, followed by food cooked in a traditional hangi (cooked in an earthen oven).

Kawaha Point Lodge has a renowned reputation for its New Zealand style cuisine prepared by the resident chefs using the finest produce available. We will even prepare the trout you catch!

Dining is a memorable experience at the antique lodge table or one of the many other private areas in the lodge. Your repast is made even more memorable as it is accompanied by a special selection of fine New Zealand wines.

The exclusive Lodge offers 8 double/twin bedrooms with garden or lake views. Each room is named after one of the lakes in the area. A perfect setting for visitors from overseas, weddings, conferences or that extra special celebration.
