This B&B is absolutely fabulous. We have been traveling a lot, in different countries, but the quality in Nicara Lodge is the highest we have ever seen. The location is great, directly near the Lake of Rotorua, but also the rooms are of high quality. Furthermore, the hosts, Mike and Heather are very friendly and helped us where ever necessary....

Thank-you so much Heather and Mike! You welcomed us into your gorgeous B and B and made our journey from so far immediately seem like we had arrived back home. Your kindness and generosity are unsurpassed from all of the many places we have stayed around the world. We recommend that anyone who is staying in the Rotorua area put... More

We were welcomed more warmly than we could have hoped, with evening aperitifs served in the lounge by our very helpful hosts. The views across the lake were stunning, with swans in the evening and flocks of birds flying across in the morning. The room was spacious and also had beautiful views of the lake. Breakfast was delicious. All in... More

The welcome at Nicara Lodge has to be experienced to be believed. Mike and Heather's enthusiasm about their guests is reflected in everything they do and what they provide. The conversation is very informative about the Rotorua area and it is clear they are proud of what there is to offer the visitor. The lodge is very well organised, the... More

Nicara Lodge was a recommendation and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It’s a beautiful house overlooking Lake Rotorua, it even has it’s own beach by the lake – that’s how close it is! Luckily it’s just far enough from Rotorua centre so that the stay isn’t ruined by ‘that smell’ either! The ensuite rooms are huge and extremely comfortable and... More

Heather and Mike really did make our trip so comfortable and an absolute pleasure. I have never come across more lovely and accommodating people in my travels. Unexpectedly Heather and Mike organised an itinerary after finding out that we had only touched the surface of Rotorua attractions. From the evening drinks with exceptional company (Heather and Mike) to the gourmet... More

We cannot express how much gratitude we have for staying with Heather and Mike. Good old fashioned quality service with great hosts. A genuine warmth and concern for their guests stay. Fantastic food and wine and honest local knowledge that was spot on. Cannot complain about anything except the fact we couldn't stay longer-We will be back More

'B&B' probably understates the level of detail and quality that Heather & Mike offer. We booked only 2 nights in Nicara Lodge for this element of our tour of NZ. Casual attention to detail ensures a stay of the highest quality. Our en suite room offered 3 aspects of the lake, was large, quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast also could... More

Great food, views, and company. Most helpful in searching out what and how to do it. More
