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’ve been using Ultimate Travel for many years and have always experienced first-class, friendly, and professional service. Catherine has been our go-to person in recent years, and her exceptional support has made every trip trouble-free. Our holidays with AmaWaterways have been seamless, and we’re truly grateful to Catherine for making it all possible.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
