The boutique gay lodge in Rotorua keeps racking up awards. All the more reason to stay and play when on the North Island.

Recently, Hamurana Lodge has received Certificates of Excellence from Trip Advisor, been named a finalist in Thermal Air Hospitality and Attractions category of the Rotorua Business Excellence Awards, and their Host Chef, Charlie Brown, has been nominated as a finalist in the Employee of the Year category.

To become a finalist in the Business Excellence Awards is further testimony to the hard work and efforts of the Hamurana Lodge team over the past two years of operation. The awards recognise and encourage the business community’s pursuit of business excellence. Entrants are judged by leaders of local business. Competition is fierce and becoming a finalist is considered an achievement in itself.

The chef’s focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, combined with his insistence on establishing personal contact with every guest, ensures that the dining experience at Le Manoir is as memorable as the luxury stay and pampering.
