On the Point - Lake Rotorua

We stayed at On the Point for our honeymoon and could not have chosen a more perfect retreat. The property is a former private estate with stunning lake views, elegant suites, and little touches of heritage charm. Staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, making us feel both cared for and given complete privacy. We also received gracious and considered recommendations on things to do from the very kind Czech woman who also did breakfast. Having dinner served in our suite overlooking Lake Rotorua was a highlight, as was waking up each morning to generous breakfasts and serene surroundings. The décor is more classic and traditional than modern, which added to the charm for us, but guests expecting sleek, contemporary design should know this is a heritage-style lodge. Overall, On the Point is romantic, intimate, and timeless — a wonderful choice for a special occasion in Rotorua.

A very special location and the end of the road directly facing the lake. Very spacious suite and a comfortable bed. Good tea selection. A very charming breakfast lady (Victoria) and a good buffet selection. You find silence and can enjoy the garden with some poneys, donkeys, sheps. We would everytime return here.

We stayed here for 3 nights and we wish it was for longer. Our room (#4) had breathtaking lake views from both our sitting room and the bedroom. The staff could not have done anymore for us from recommending things to do, to Mel finding us a DVD to watch the first Lord Of The Rings as we were off to the Hobbiton tour, well worth doing, to Nicky giving us food to go feed the donkeys and sheep they have onsite. (Kids would love this, we did as adults). We had dinner at the restaurant and the lamb was slightly chewy, but the seared tuna was amazing and the breakfasts were the best. We gave the gold star to the chef for our poached eggs, as they were the best we had on our NZ holiday. I had to unexpectedly print a document off and scan it and the girls in the office couldn’t have been more helpful, thank you Sam and cheers to Helen who does a wonderful job in the garden, the grounds are beautiful. The entire place has a wonderful vibe and we enjoyed sitting by the fire enjoying our time here. The staff are like a little family with Nicky bringing her own coffee machine from home to cover their one being serviced. This speaks volumes of the culture and spills over into the service we received. I also mentioned the bed pillows were a bit soft, and housekeeping left firmer ones after cleaning our room, just lovely and we loved our stay - thank you.
