Top Putaruru Hotel Reviews

The Clements Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel with lovely amenities. Very friendly staff. The welcome drink and upgrade were most appreciated. Will definitely come back."

Opal Hot Springs & Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The bathroom did not have any body wash, shampoo or conditioner. It only had hand wash at the sink. Unfortunately heater was not workable and room extremely cold. Kitchen was very well equiped for a family stay and a good size bin in the kichen. We had the park view room ..2 rooms a queen and two singles. But the cold affected all of us. TV remote was not workable and took us awhile to work out how to operate using TV buttons. The pool was not so hot but very enjoyable for family and kept kids entertained."

Kauri Lodge Karapiro

10/10 Excellent

"★★★★★ Amazing farm stay near Hobbiton We absolutely loved this lodge. The privacy was exceptional, and the property is located on a beautifully maintained farm with fresh, clean country air. Being so close to Hobbiton made the experience even more special. Waking up in the morning felt like stepping into Hobbiton itself, surrounded by peaceful farmland and stunning scenery. The farm-fresh milk, jam, and butter were outstanding—simple, authentic, and some of the best we’ve ever tasted. Every detail of the property was thoughtfully cared for, and it was clear that the hosts take great pride in creating a wonderful experience for their guests. This was one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic countryside experience. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place with us."
