Smoke Lake Hot Springs Lodge and Camp

The Backyard Inn, owned by the McLeay Family, has been providing warm service to Rotorua visitors since 1986. Situated in four acres of green park-like grounds, the inn is close to sporting and recreational amenities such as The Rotorua Aquatic Centre and Kuirau geothermal park. The eclectic mix of dorm, camping, and chalet-style accommodation makes it an ideal facility for large groups, including sports, school, and tour groups. Families can relax in a kid-friendly, safe environment, while travellers can enjoy their own spaces in great value dorm options or camping sites. The inn also offers a thermal pool, Cocoon Café & Eatery, bar/restaurant, and a large, well-appointed communal kitchen. The Backyard Inn aims to make it easy for people to stay and play happily in the heart of Rotorua.
