"Great Hotel for the kids. Pool was always empty and was right next to the kids centre which had plenty of games and activities to keep them entertained. Staff were friendly and breakfast buffet had great options, fresh food and topped up frequently."

What is a historic hotel like in Lake Okareka?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Lake Okareka often preserve original elements like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the architecture and actual building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the usual amenities you'd get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Lake Okareka, it doesn't mean you're picking a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
