Arawa Park Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT, hotel in Rotorua

Located next to Rotorua's Arawa Racecourse, Arawa Park Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT features panoramic views across the racecourse and the city.

First, Christine was amazing and helped us with all of our issues and questions, so thank you to her. Both rooms do overlook the horse racetrack which is nice and they both had balconies if you can get over the Rotorua smell (not hotels fault). I checked all beds for bed bugs and the linens did feel and smell clean, so that was another plus. Overall, I do not recommend staying here.

FAQs about hotels in Rotorua








A Volcanic Land of Wonders

Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.

This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.

Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.

More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange. 

Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit.

    Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes . Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

    As we were only doing a two day stop over to catch up with family and friends, on our way to a wedding, it was just enough to get us time to do these visits and still have time for ourselves. As were not "exploring Rotorua" we did not need extra time. Would recommend at least 4 - 5 days if you are new to the place and want to do all those sights, that Rotorua has to offer.

    Rotorua is a nice clean town with plenty of general shopping available. I felt that the tourist attraction were overpriced, but everything was well organized. The vulcanic activities are quite varied and unique.

    The accommodation ideal for 3 adults with separate bedrooms: 1 with a double and a single bed - the other with a double bed, extremely comfortable. staff welcoming, 3 tv's. Room service breakfast which we liked and a the restaurant had a good evening menu selection. we had a jacuzzi and use of the spa bath and whilst the swimming pool was a bit limited for size and depth it was very relaxing. the Pitch and putt was fun and the games room ample size, cooling / relaxing 10 minute walk around the stream was refreshing. the staff are brilliant and i could not fault them - well done

    I just enjoyed the town and the attractions I came to see. The townspeople were friendly, as were shop assistants. The people who were employed at the attractions went above and beyond to entertain us, educate us, teach us of their culture. They were all very proud of their heredity. Thoroughly enjoyable 😉

    Rotorua is an incredible destination with a wide range of activities available. There's many wonderful scenic places that can be visited for free, such as Kuirau Park with its geothermal features at the lake end of the park, or if you prefer, take a stroll through the Redwood Forest. The Government Gardens are a very popular scenic spot and if you carry on down the road on the left you will find access to a lakeside geothermal area. I've not even mentioned the many beautiful lakes that Rotorua is famous for or the many excellent 'manmade' paid activities but there really is something for everyone. It's also a fabulous area for cycling, especially so if you enjoy mountain biking. There's plenty of dining options though my favourite for many years has been The Fat Dog Cafe and Bar which offers great coffee and a wonderful food selection.

    The location for this hotel is very central in Rotorua, only being a few minutes' drive from the city centre. The room had two floors, two bathrooms with two televisions and a hot tub. There were full kitchen facilities and the room was tidy. We particularly enjoyed the extra facilities of the pool and the in-room hot tub which you can use until very late. The staff were exceptionally nice and welcoming, giving us some local tips and made the stay better.

    This was a last minute decision to come here Christmas eve and escape the usual time spent with the family outside our little family but it was the best decision! Amazing staff, who were so friendly. Perfect hotel for a family stay. Buffet was delicious, games room was epic and the pools were fantastic. Would come here again next Christmas. Parking also very easy.

    The hotel as a whole was fantastic. The room was spacious and clean. Service levels were on point and breakfast at the main restaurant was great! The hotel is perfectly located just off Fenton street so it was quiet and a perfect getaway for the family. All the main attractions are a short distance away which is extremely convenient. Will definitely be back.

    Nice clean spacious room. We booked this room specifically for the balcony which a lot of other Hotels do not have in Rotorua. The Spa was great and cleaned after every use.Great location within walking distance to a lot of great cafe's and restaurants. Lots of parking outside with a long stay carpark a couple of minutes away.

    The staff are amazing. The property is getting a bit tired. They charge the appropriate rate so did not expect a 5 star hotel. But the lovey staff made it a great stay. If you want a nice clean hotel with warm and welcoming staff then the best place to stay in Rotorua is the Copthorne.
