The property is pet-friendly (charges apply). Please note there is no lake access directly from the property; for direct lake access, it's a short walk around the corner to Ranginui Street.



The Neighborhood:

Lake View Inn sits on a peaceful, no-exit street in Ngongotahฤ, on the northwestern side of Lake Rotorua, with beautiful lake views from the property. There's no direct lake access from the section itself, but it's just a short walk around to Ranginui Street, where you'll also find productive trout fishing at the river mouth - bring your rod. Ngongotahฤ Village, about 2.5km away, has cafes, bakeries, a small supermarket and handy services including a doctor's surgery, pharmacy and mechanic, so you barely need to head into the city.



Getting Around:

Getting around is easiest with your own transport, and there's plenty of parking on site and on the street. The nearest bus stop is a short 300-metre walk away on Ranginui Street. By car, Zorb, Skyline and Canopy Tours are all around 8 to 10 minutes, Polynesian Spa and the lakefront about 17, Te Puia around 19, Rotorua Airport about 23, and the Redwoods Whakarewarewa Forest around 24.



Other Things to Note:

WIFI runs at around 250 Mbps. The property is pet-friendly (charges apply). Please note there is no lake access directly from the property - the views are lovely, but for direct lake access it's a short walk around the corner to Ranginui Street.

Lovely stay at Lake View Inn

We really enjoyed our stay, the property was very clean and very nicely presented. It had everything we needed and the location was lovely and peaceful, and only a short drive to the nearest shops and approx 10 mins to Rotorua. The check in process was very easy and communication was nice and clear. If you have young kids be sure to take some games or puzzles with you, as there isnโ€™t anything like that in the house.

Couldn't fault the property which was so peaceful. Couldn't get into the lock box which evidently is not the first time but it was sorted quite quickly which I appreciated. Loved the fire and lucky to have two beautiful clear sunny days which enhanced the stunning views.

Additional sports gear

We enjoyed our stay, property was very nice. Beautiful breeze through the house. Kitchen well equipped, might have been nice with a coffee maker(like Nespresso maker). The property foes not allow area along water front to walk dogs, however the property was great for the small dogs and they could not get out. I would recommend that the owners think of having a couple of water related things for kids. Eg: kayaking Very close-to the luge and other amenities.overall great stay.

Ngongotaha Weekend

The property was wonderful for a large family holiday. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Room for 6 adults and the fact we could take our two puppies along was a drawcard, with the dogs enjoying the large outdoor space. The site is slightly out of Rotorua but only a few minutes drive to all the joys of the city. We would definitely return to this accommodation.
