Gemini Lodge Rotorua Lake side paradise

Gemini Lodge, Paradise right on waters edge of Lake Rotorua.
Launch your boat, Jet ski with either your vehicle or I can help you with our tractor or borrow (free of charge) one or two of our Kayaks and launch any of these off the front of our property.
On the waters edge of Lake Rotorua, our Chalet is the ideal getaway for a relaxing few days or some exciting rides either from the Chalet with our own jet boat or at the 4WD adventure park, Gondola and luge rides or the beautiful Kiwi and trout sanctuary all within a 5 minute drive. Or relax in our beautiful setting and have some peace and quiet, lake front walks and only 10 minute drive to the centre of Rotorua township.

Perfect, cozy home!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon visit to Rotorua and loved this little home! It was close enough to the main city area but still had a private get away feel! The host is amazing and the home was very clean!! We would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing place!

Everything was very easy. Joe and Cynthia were fantastic hosts- were there if we needed, but gave us privacy. The lodge was really spacious and had everything you needed, including some very kind welcome gifts. The shared outdoor space was incredible with a beautiful pool, hot tub and views!

Top notch facilities

The property is one of a kind. The pool and spa were essential to keeping everyone entertained, and worn out at the end of the day, also great for soothing sore muscles after a day on the skis. We had a great stay, very clean and tidy chalet, all the comforts of home - Great value.

Amazing stay on a peaceful, beautiful property

The perfect spot for our first trip to New Zealand! We decided to spend a couple of nights in Rotorua in between our stays in Auckland and Wellington. Not only was Rotorua a beautiful area, but this property was perfect for our family of four. Cynthia and Joe were welcoming, communicative hosts, the chalet was beautiful and the property was stunning. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. Thank you!!

Beautiful, tranquil, cozy - awesome stay!

This is the cutest house. The setting on the lake inspired many early morning walks to the lake front for pictures of the sunrise, the black swans and other shore birds. The owners have taken a lot of thought and care to make our stay comfortable and peaceful. We were gifted coffee, a bottle of wine, snacks and everything was there to make our trip easy and comfortable. It was a lovely home, in a magical setting that made day trips easy. If you visit the Rotorua area, stay here. You’ll never want to leave.

Cynthia and Joe have created an ideal retreat for those seeking a high-quality accommodation. The attention to detail in every aspect of the lodge, from the well-thought-out amenities, showcased a commitment to excellence and assurance that they have designed the lodge with the entire family in mind. Our stay at Gemini Lodge exceeded expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and memorable escape in Rotorua. Five stars without a doubt!

Amazing Property

The Gemini is an amazing property!! I’ve been to several countries and stayed in many rental properties. This was a one of a kind! It felt like we were at a resort. There were many on property activities to do from swimming to kayaking. It was nice to have it all included. The owners were great to work with, answered all of our questions and were extremely accommodating. If I ever return to New Zealand, I will definitely stay here!!

A GEM on Lake Rotorua

This premium chalet sits on a large gated property with multiple homes. The location is very convenient to many great and must-do activities: Redwoods Tree Walk, Mitai Maori Village, Geothermal wonders (Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland), Huka Falls, Lake Taupo, Skyline Rotorua/luge. You have access to a shared hot tub (although we never had to share) with a beautiful view of the lake. Joe and Cynthia were great hosts. The wine and snacks were highly appreciated! House was remarkably clean, and we would definitely choose to stay here again.

Wow! Don't pass this one up!

We've stayed at many, many VRBOs over the years and boy did we feel like we hit the jackpot here. Absolutely gorgeous location and the most charming little house facing the lake. Super clean, comfortable and updated home with everything you could need in a well stocked kitchen. Beautiful pool, gym area and hot tub. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the lake very much, that was a big bonus for us. There was also a barbeque/fire pit area available. Owners very friendly and property immaculate. They had a fantastic binder prepared with area attractions, restaurants, property information, etc. Very well thought out. If NZ wasn't so far away from our home in the US we would be back every summer and stay longer!
