Cosy Cottage Thermal Holiday Park - Rotorua's only campsite with thermally heated sites and free mineral spa pools

Amenities & Facilities

The holiday park offers free access to 2-3 pure geothermal mineral spa pools, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and a unique geothermal steam oven for cooking. Barbecue facilities and a children's playground are available on-site, and guests can use the shared kitchen and laundry. The property also provides 300MB of free WiFi per device per 24 hours and has a fence around the seasonal pool for safety.

Accommodation

All accommodation types include a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, toaster, stove top, kettle, refrigerator, and kitchenware. Rooms range from basic cabins with shared bathroom to superior two-bedroom apartments that sleep up to 7 guests. Each room has thermal heating for winter comfort and a TV, with some units offering private toilets.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The park is located in the heart of Rotorua, a 5-minute drive from the city centre, supermarket, and major attractions like the luge and ziplines. Through the back gate, guests can access a geothermal reserve and a lakeside sandy beach where they can dig their own hot spring foot pool. Kuirau Park geothermal reserve and the Rotorua lakefront are within walking distance, along with local shops, cafes, and eateries.

Wellness & Geothermal Experience

The free mineral spa pools are filled daily and offer three temperature options, from a very hot pool to a reasonably warm soak. A natural hot water beach is accessible directly from the property, allowing guests to create personal hot pools in the sand. The on-site geothermal steam oven provides a traditional hangi cooking experience, with pans and utensils available from reception.

Family & Pet-Friendly Offerings

The holiday park is pet-friendly in low season by arrangement, allowing guests to bring their dogs without needing a sitter. Children have a dedicated playground, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and a table tennis facility for entertainment. All accommodation types can accommodate families up to 7 guests, and the park provides a picnic area and sun terrace for outdoor meals.

Highlights

Geothermal: Only Rotorua campsite with thermally heated sites & free mineral pools

Cooking: On-site geothermal steam oven for hangi meals

Beach Access: Lakeside sandy beach where you dig your own hot pool

Rooms: Accommodates families up to 7 guests with full kitchenettes

Pet Policy: Dogs allowed in low season by arrangement

“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.”
