Amazing Astelia lodge

Beautifully presented and in a lovely location.
All food supplied was super fresh. They even provide home made cake  & biscuits and a bowl of fresh fruit.
Owners are super friendly and so are their dogs and one eyed cat.
I was quite disappointed though when I found out this was actually a B&B. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything in the next room (which is their kitchen/lounge). You have a private bed, bathroom & kitchette but the patio and lounge is shared with the owners and/or other guests.
The rooms do face west which makes them very hot in the afternoon and there is no air-conditioning (only a standard fan). It would be nice to leave the windows open but you can't because there are no fly screens and heaps of mosquitoes come in at night.
The rooms are big though and have a glorious outlook.
Beautiful place and worth a visit but be prepared with shared lounging areas and close the windows at dusk.

Beautiful location but not a lot of privacy - this is a B&B

A return visit to stay with Mandy and Andrew because we enjoyed it so much first time round. What a welcoming hospitable pair. Andrew cooked a lovely 3 course meal on our arrival and breakfasts were just what we like - fresh fruit, muesli etc, and good coffee. We had some lively conversation with many points of interest and good advice about what was good to see in the area, which we followed up over our stay. The setting of Astelia Lodge is delightful, lovely views, space and spaciousness for guests and hosts, large comfy beds, a well designed and useful kitchen area, excellent WiFi, and plentiful sitting areas and no smell of sulphur. What’s not to like. Many thanks to you both for your welcome.

Like staying with friends

My husband and I have just spent two nights here and it really has been the highlight of all the places we have stayed during our tour of New Zealand. Stunning but warm and welcoming accommodation in an incredibly beautiful and peaceful setting.....we really did not want to leave. There were so many little welcoming and thoughtful gestures and we loved the warm welcome from the four-legged family as well as Mandy and Andrew. Enjoying the complimentary, delicious wine, under the stars was idyllic. Thank you both for your welcome and wonderful "northern" friendliness. We have made some special memories!

Awesome!

Beautiful location tucked up against an amazing backdrop. Couldn't ask for a more comfortable and clean alternative to the plethora of motel madness in Rotorua. Only a 20 minute drive outside the city is this B&B lovers paradise. Very quiet and peaceful grounds surrounded by farm lands and open country. 

Can't speak highly enough of Mandy's cooking skills and presentation, absolutely astounding. Wish we could have stayed longer but very appreciative that we found this awesome little hidden gem!

Thanks Andrew and Mandy!

Astelia Lodge is a perfect hidden gem outside Rotorua

My husband and I were beyond happy with our stay at Andrew and Mandy’s lodge! The view from our very comfortable and clean room was incredible and their warm hospitality made our stay wonderful. The pets on the property are an added treat with them letting us feed the donkey and alpacas. The pups and cats were so sweet and adorable too. Close to town and as hosts they were incredibly helpful and friendly, I’d highly recommend a stay here and when we return to New Zealand we’d definitely be looking to stay with them again!!

We stayed three wonder nights with Mandy and Andy. Our room was beautiful, the views stunning and hospitality was nothing short of excellent. We had an extra bonus of two beautiful dogs whom greeted us like they was welcoming a family friend. 

Our room was filled with personal touches and every day we came home to a hand made gift of home cooked goodies. The spa treatments in the bathroom were just wonderful and cruelty free. 

Mandy and Andy offer a delicious breakfast and can cater for all needs. For me I loved the fact that animal welfare mattered. 

This place is perfect to see some of the most spectacular sights, geothermal baths, mud pools and volcanic eruptions of steam and hot water (all safe to see) 

I would strongly recommend this place if you want to escape noise and light pollution and just unwind listening to the sounds of the native wildlife. 

We will be back, thank you Mandy, Andy, Daisy and Sid for a special start to our holiday. 

Home from home luxury

It is a small structure held by a very pleasant and particularly attentive couple. Very nice setting, comfortable rooms, quality kitchen all in a relaxed atmosphere. One of our best stages in a month's stay.

It's a great step.

Astelia Lodge B&B is a perfect place to stay for a honeymoon in New Zealand. The place is located a few minutes from Rotorua, in an area with so much green and a panorama that you can enjoy from the wide window of the room. Our room was very spacious and well furnished with large windows that allowed you to enjoy the quiet of a fantastic view from the first morning. The room has a large bathroom with a large shower and a very functional kitchen, everything kept really very clean.
