Thermal-Heated Accommodations

Cosy Cottage Thermal Holiday Park offers thermally heated camping sites and geothermal radiators in all rooms. Options include a two-bedroom flat sleeping up to 7, a one-bedroom cottage for couples with children, and basic cabins with shared facilities. Each unit has a kitchenette with a two-element cooktop, microwave, and fridge. Some rooms include a Freeview TV and private bathrooms. Tent and campervan sites with electricity are available.

Geothermal Pools & Activities

Guests have free access to three geothermal mineral spa pools, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and a thermal steam oven for cooking. The lakeshore, a short walk away, has hot sand for DIY foot spas. The park includes a children's playground and barbecue facilities. Nearby, Kuirau Park and Ōhinemutu village are within a 15-minute walk.

Pet-Friendly Policies

Dogs are welcome in low season or by arrangement. Owners must keep pets leashed and bring towels for sandy paws. The park is surrounded by geothermal features like boiling pools and hot ground, requiring caution. Dog-friendly areas include the lakeshore and nearby parks.

Convenient Rotorua Location

The park is 2 km from Rotorua's city center, near Lake Rotorua and Skyline Rotorua. A 500-meter walk leads to a bakery, fish and chip shop, and gas station. Public transport and major attractions like Rainbow Springs Nature Park are within 2.5 km.

Practical Guest Services

Free Wi-Fi (300MB per device) is provided, with unlimited vouchers available for purchase. Laundry facilities cost $4 per cycle. Extended stays require immediate payment. Peak season runs from September to May, plus NZ public holidays. Babies under 12 months stay free with a paying adult.

“Cosy Cottage distinguishes itself as Rotorua's only campsite with naturally heated grounds, a detail that elevates the experience for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking for an affordable holiday with geothermal perks. The property makes it easy to dig your own hot pool right on the lakeshore's sandy beach, and the kids can enjoy the seasonal pool and playground. I think the pet-friendly policy (low season by arrangement) is a plus.”
