We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Mahana Lodge is very beautiful, has a warm homelike aura and located close to the city and all the main tourist attractions ( 5-10 minutes at most). If you're going to the lakes it can take 10 - 25 minutes depending on which one. The place offers a lot of amount amentities (good brands) and has thoughtful touches like multi plug, international plug adapter, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We don't play table tennis but there is a table, paddles and balls included in one of the rooms. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is planning their next trip to Rototorua.
