Top Buried Village Hotel Reviews

The Enclave - Lake Tarawera Views, Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for a weekend away. We loved the quiet peacefulness and the birds singing in the evening. Close to biking trails and lakes."

Tui Glen - Lake front bach with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Kundaniwas - Lake Okareka Tiny House, Kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"A great little place to getaway to, very easy to find with good directions for both for the property and for checking in. Very quiet but within easy reach of Rotorua.We really enjoyed our winter break.Great support from the InnList team"

Blue Lake Top 10 Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Easy check in after hours - staff had the heater on when we arrived."

The Boat Shed - Lake Ōkareka Views, Sleeps 4

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool location with beautiful lake views from both sides.Small kitchen and bathroom downstairs. Quite cold in that downstairs area as although there was an excellent heatpump all the heat went upwards and there are no window coverings in the entry. Beautifully warm in the upstairs lounge, bedroom and loft bedroom. Had all we needed for a comfortable stay.We stayed as a family of four. Note the loft bed is right above the other bed and it did sound like the kids were right next to us when they were whispering during the night. Easily solved with earplugs, but something to be aware of.Would stay here again."

Tranquil Lake Retreat - Lake Okareka, Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic house, beautiful layout and huge amount of amenities. Fully stocked kitchen and fantastic spa pool.Place is huge and could easily hold 3 families with kids. Village was really nice and close to multiple lakes and only a short drive to Rotorua. There was only three of us so didn’t use half the house it was that big!!House was spotlessly clean, dry and a great place to chill out. Highly recommended with all the mod cons. Was fully air conditioned with seperate heaters and huge beds were super comfortable. Can’t rate highly enough if you want to escape the main town. 2 minutes from a boat ramp as well"
