LODGE SETTING
From the moment you arrive at Lake Rotoroa Lodge, you will recognize that it is a unique and special place. As you take in our beautiful lake views and stunning wilderness vistas, the pressures of daily life fall away.
The ten individual guest rooms, which have en-suite bathrooms, have all recently been refurbished and two rooms have been fitted out with luxurious bathtubs. Add to that some eccentricities in the décor, artworks, fixtures and fittings and the result is a charming and comfortable New Zealand country estate. Front and rear rooms open onto balconies that have comfortable furnishings.
The hallway on the ground floor of the two-storey lodge captures the attention the moment you enter the front door. It contains an eclectic mix of objets d’art, paintings, and ph View more...otographs of the early days of LRL.
The sitting room and bar is immediately to the right of the entrance hall with a large picture window which frames a stunning view of the lake and the dramatic mountain peaks of the Travers Range: Misery, Cupola, Hopeless and Angelus. In the evening, guests gather around the bar to tell stories of the day’s fishing or hunting, to recommend a glorious walk taken or place visited.
Passing the lodge’s well-stocked wine cellar, pausing only to more closely examine yet another item of quirky memorabilia, guests arrive at the lodge’s elegant dining room, which shares a view of the lake that is almost identical to that recently enjoyed in the sitting room. Here fine dinners are enjoyed, complemented by wines from the region’s world-renowned vineyards.
