Nestled on a privately-owned peninsula on Lake Tarawera in Rotorua, New Zealand, Solitaire Lodge offers lakeside luxury with breathtaking mountain views in an area known for its geothermal activity.
Relax and reinvigorate at Solitaire Lodge, a secluded ten-suite resort that boasts excellent rainbow trout fishing, water sports, and scenic hiking in the heart of Rotorua's lake district, so famous for its hot springs that it's known as the Thermal Capital of New Zealand.
Solitaire Lodge's comfortable suites are dotted across the lush property, offering views of the lagoon, a habitat for black swans and teals. Meanwhile, the elegant lounge features breathtaking panoramas across Lake Tarawera to lush bushland. Meals in the Lodge's dining room are prepared with fresh local produce, complemented by a superb selection of New Zealand wines.
A variety of water craft are available for your use. Make sure you charter an excursion to Hot Water Beach, a thermal spring that rises through beach sands to form a warm-water pool available for year-round swimming. Or you can take a prepared picnic lunch on a trek to Lake Tarawera Falls, a three-hour walk with swimming pools on the way.
