Koura Lodge, Rotorua Expert Review
Ivan Matthewman
Koura Lodge is a lovely lakeside lodge tucked away in a quiet Rotorua suburb and only a short drive from the centre of town. With only 10 rooms and suites there was definitely a boutique feel to the property and the staff were friendly and efficient. We stayed in a lodge room which was spacious and comfortable with elevated views out over the lake and a shared veranda to enjoy them from. The suites have direct views across the lawn to the lake beyond and offer a good value upgrade.
Top tip: Be sure to build in some time at the lodge to make use of the hot tub and free kayaks

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
