Top Putaruru Hotel Reviews

Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel! Stunning, enjoyed the private spa and the t2 teas in the rooms. Highly recommend."

Kauri Lodge Karapiro

10/10 Excellent

"This property is on a real working farm in New Zealand, with happy contented cows watching you come and go. We were treated to in-house preserves of jam, and a lovely welcome. It was especially helpful that this accommodation was a short drive from the Hobbotin movie set, which we had visited earlier that day. So we reached our destination on the winding country road before it got dark; very convenient. We were 2 adults but would definitely recommend this spacious accommodation for families."

The Clements Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best hotel of the 5 I stayed at in Aotearoa. This was actually the best hotel I ever stayed at, bar none. Staff was great and happy, hotel and room was amazing. The most important thing was I felt relaxed and enjoyed my stay so much we extended it for one more day. I splurged for the Executive Suite and it was kind of awesome. Best hotel ever. Thank you for operating a really fine hotel."
