Welcome to Mokoia Downs Estate
Boutique Rotorua B&B in an Idyllic Rural Retreat
Boutique Rotorua B&B in an Idyllic Rural Retreat
We offer our guests warm hospitality and comfort in an idyllic setting. From afternoon tea and home-baking served from finest bone china on your arrival, to a complimentary drink served in beautiful Waterford crystal glasses each evening, we want you to feel at home from the moment that you arrive at Mokoia Downs B&B. A short drive from all of Rotorua's main attractions, we are far away enough to provide an ideal, sulphur-free contrast to the bustling city centre.

The country lodge is 35 years old and has been extensively renovated and extended in harmony with its surrounding environment. It has all the facilities that the discerning traveller would expect in a high quality B&B, and an ambience perfectly suited for leisure and relaxation. Enjoy the original landscape paintings, admire the hand-carved Balinese figures, or relax with a complimentary drink and browse the extensive book, film and music libraries.
Your hosts Mick and Teresa decided to establish this boutique Rotorua B&B after visiting New Zealand nearly a decade ago and falling in love with the country, its culture and way of life. We were attracted to Rotorua in particular as it is a picturesque, vibrant and unique provincial city situated in the heart of majestic countryside featuring stunningly beautiful lakes and forests and spectacular geo-thermal landscapes.

Finally
At the end of a day's activities, why not relax with a complimentary pre-dinner drink of your choice from "The Anglers Arms", where rumour has it that tall tales have once in a while been told about the size of fish caught, waterfalls rafted or mountains climbed! The atmospheric bar has a wide range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and is a great place to gather and unwind before heading out for a lovely meal.
After breakfast, if you have time before
setting off on activities, why not pour
another coffee, browse the library and
settle back with a great book. Then, a
little later, you can go on a stroll around
the estate. Amongst the antique
machinery and vintage artifacts that are
dotted around Mokoia Downs, you will find
clues to how farmers of yesteryear from as
far apart as Ireland and New Zealand broke
the land and created a living and a way of
life. If you are interested in this, or in the
history of the Rotorua area, then Teresa, who
has qualified as a guide at the city
museum, will be delighted to share her
knowledge with you.
Relax in our Outdoor Swimming Pool
and Entertainment Area
On warm summer days guests can cool
down in our outdoor swimming pool, stretch
out on a sun-lounger, or cook a BBQ whilst
enjoying a drink in the shade to the
accompaniment of native birdsong.

Multi-Purpose Indoor Facility for Guest Use
Another distinctive and highly unusual feature of Mokoia Downs is an indoor, multi-purpose facility originally built as a Dance Studio for the talented children of the previous owners. With purpose-built flooring and a floor to ceiling mirror along one wall the studio can be used for Dance, or for general exercise workouts. The Studio also has a Home Cinema system with large screen, perfect for watching movies, or for enjoying big sporting occasions such as the Rugby World Cup. Because of its excellent acoustics the facility can be used as a recording or rehearsal studio (a local group has recorded a CD in it), and it is an ideal, safe indoor play area for small children.
The facility also has an outdoor patio area looking out on to our lake and the countryside beyond, and in summer this is the perfect place to linger and enjoy a drink in the late afternoon or evening sun after a busy day's activities.
