솔리테르 랏지

Second time staying at this lodge. Glad we returned. A very comfortable and tranquil place to stay. It continues to have impeccable service and outstanding food. We walked around the beautiful Blue Lake – a short drive away. Amazing views of the lake from our room. Felt very well looked after and would highly recommend.

Fantastic place to unwind and relax. Genuine friendly service from Wayne, Ingrid and staff. Amazing views of the mountain and lake from our spacious room. The food was the absolute highlight and I would stay again just to eat more of it!

We had been waiting for the “wow” moment on our NZ holiday and Solitaire Lodge provided it. Exclusive accommodation is an understatement. Wonderful location, beautiful rooms, great food, stunning views. The entrance is understated and easy to miss. You need to press the intercom to contact reception who will then open the gates. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Charming as can be! Beautiful secluded small hotel adjacent to Lake Tarawera so a bit outside of the city but fully worth it. There are 9 individual bungalows. My room overlooked the lake. I had a two bedroom bungalow for those with a family. A entry way opened up into a beautiful living room with a refrigerator with fresh cream, breville espresso machine, and a hot pot for water, with multiple options for coffee, tea, and biscuits as well as fresh fruit. The living room had a full view of the lake. My bedroom has a king bed, spacious and comfortable also with a continued lake view. The bathroom in the adjacent bedroom had two full sinks, and a bathtub, all in sparkling white granite. My bathroom, was modern in a gorgeous slate gray with a wonderful shower (perfect after a day of hiking). Heated towel racks are a plus. Cocktail/canapes at 7pm are a must! There are books, chess set and other games with a full bar. The wine selection is fantastic. Rolando and Graham were lovely! The food is incredible whether it is breakfast or dinner. PLS eat a croissant and have a carb day. The croissants are incredible and is a MUST!!!!!!! Wayne and Ingrid are the kindest and they have truly created a treasure. It is a wonderful place to go solo, couple or for a family.

Stunning location, great food and amazing service. Yes it’s pricey, but worth every penny for that special occasion. 5 course evening meals and breakfast didn’t disappoint We stayed for 3 nights for our honeymoon, and you defined recommend you do the early morning boat trip to the hot water pools across the late on a speed boat!

The.staff, facility and dining is as good as anywhere in the world. Combine that with the beauty of the location and you’ll never want to leave.
