BOUTIQUE LAKE-SIDE BED & BREAKFAST
See the spectacular countryside surrounding Rotorua from a different perspective – take a scenic flight in a float plane, from the pier outside your lakeside hotel.
The views over Lake Rotorua towards Mokoia Island and beyond to the brooding shape of Mount Tarawera are impressive enough. An hour or so spent contemplating their magnitude and tranquillity is truly relaxing.
But if you really want an eye-opening visual experience you merely have to walk a few steps along the side of the lake from Koura Lodge – to the pier where a scenic flight in a float plane could well prove the highlight of your whole luxury, tailor-made holiday to New Zealand.
The excitement of Rotorua doesn’t end there. Within easy reach of Koura Lodge are activities and adventures ranging from visiting the region’s natural geothermal wonders to learning about Maori culture, from exploring leisure and wildlife parks to taking eco-tours or embarking on quad bike adventures.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
