Yes, and we can back this up with stats too. Māori culture, along with the thermal activity, oozes out of every pore in this city.Look for it in the architecture - even as far back as the early 1900s -and in the colours and shapes of our buildings. (Clue: Look for theearth tones) Sometimes we get it wrong but on the whole the buildingslook good. It...
Oh yes, we can't leave this baby out. We've got a heap of thermaldelights in and around Rotorua and they're all unique (I know because Ivisited every single one). For us it's normal to be living in amongstthis seething cauldron of volcanic activity but it blows visitors away -figuratively speaking of course.

Rotorua is located in a caldera (a sunken volcano). The inner city is relativelyflat in the basin on the lake edge. We're surrounded byhills, being the sides of the caldera and I guess that's where the cosy feel comes from. The Central Business District (CBD) is laid out in a grid shapeand you could walk from one end to the other in about 15min. Ge...
Rotorua is in the middle of the North Island making it handy to get to all sorts of places. Nowwe know that the lakes - which leave you feeling fresh and squeaky cleanafter a swim - are close, but did you also know that sun, sand and ultra coolsurf beaches are only 40min away. Mmm, lake or beach, lake or beach. Decisions,decisions. Sigh. A 2½hr dri...
We'vewon the award for this competition six times in it's 11yr history at last count. Cobble-stoned paths and crossings blend in with various colonial buildings andthe gardens around the inner city are commented on far and wide. Peoplelove coming here for the tulips each year. At one time the citylooked, I hate to say it - drab. Gobs of ground in c...
According to Condē NaastTraveller that is. The Polynesian Spawon an award for being a Top 10 inthe World Day Spa Resort. Heck, never mind the spas, just having a soak in thermal waters is the best ever experience. Any stress andtension in the body just fades away as you enter the zone of zen. And, you can always try one of the free back to nature s...
Children love Rotorua. I had my then 8yr old nieceNatalia visiting and took her luging, first time she wasn't too sure about it, squealing and braking all the way down the hill. Next time? Oh yes, she's got it sussed. The look was set and determined and it was no holds barred, allthe way. Same again though, she wanted more. That's the biggest probl...
