Alpaca Haven Farm

Beneath the ridgeline separating Rotorua's thermal zone from its farming plateau, Alpaca Haven Farm on Fitzroy Place offers a rural stay within easy reach of the city's geothermal attractions.

The property earns a 9.8 guest rating across five reviews — an early signal of personal hosting standards uncommon in larger lodges. Stays here run closer to a farm visit than a hotel check-in, with alpacas on the grounds setting the pace of the morning.

Rotorua's central lake and Te Puia geothermal park sit under fifteen minutes by car, making Fitzroy Place a quieter base than the lakefront motel strip while keeping the sulphur pools and Māori cultural sites easily accessible.
