As locals we love living here in Rotorua. We have such a vast array of beautiful lakes, endless nature walking tracks, thermal wonders and a long list of activities to explore. As I have told many of our guests, our longest guest-extended-stay was eight days. Rotorua is a perfect base to launch yourself into day trips to Taupo. Whakatane, Tauranga and Matamata with only approximately an hour's drive to each of these locations

We are lucky to be surrounded by a fantastic tourism sector that works well with each other and very good at keeping visitors entertained and busy. They are all customer focussed and all strive to ensure visitors are left with a lasting impression.

From thermal volcanic terrains encompassing many of the 18 local lakes and beautiful nature, to experiencing local indigenous Maori culture and adrenaline-stacked adventure activities. Rotorua certainly guarantees the offer of a unique New Zealand experience wherever your interest may be.
