Kawaha Point Location

Situated on the western shore of Lake Rotorua, 5 minutes from Rotorua city center and 20 minutes from Rotorua Airport. Nearby attractions include Skyline Rotorua (2.5 km) and Te Puia Maori Arts Institute (2.5 km). The lodge is 3 hours from Auckland City and 2.5 hours from Auckland Airport.

Complimentary Services

“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.”
