“Koura Lodge strikes me as a particularly intimate escape on Lake Rotorua. The private beach access and lakefront views promise a tranquil stay, although the dated decor might not suit all tastes. It seems ideal for couples or small groups seeking a relaxed lakeside experience away from the city's bustle.”
