Smoke Lake Hot Springs Lodge & Camp
Camping, Holiday Parks & Backpackers / Central
Enjoy a homey bathe-and-stay experience at Smoke Lake Hot Springs Lodge and Camp. Formerly named Kiwipaka, this second-generation family-owned and operated accommodation is New Zealand’s first purpose-built backpackers, opened in 1986.
Smoke Lake is poised along the edge of the famous geothermal Kuirau Park, centrally located within the city, but quiet. Onsite, The Lean-To café and bar is open for breakfast to start your day with your family, friends or just yourself, and happy hour and light snacks to end your evening.
Accommodation options include chalets, and powered and non-powered camp sites on the spacious property. Think the traditional motel or campground with all the amenities and perks of staying in a hotel. Smoke Lake brings boutique-style amenities, down-to-earth lodgings, and the same welcoming hospitality they’ve provided for nearly four decades – perfect for creating a simple escape.
