Set on a geothermal hotspot, Rotorua has been one of New Zealand’s prime attractions for over a century. Once famous for the Pink and White Terraces, it is today known for its geothermal parks, spa facilities and a host of adventure activities. The region dotted with 16 lakes offers some of the most breathtaking vistas while its rich history and heritage provides a glimpse of the local Maori culture. Rotorua is truly an awe inspiring mix of the old and the new. With new commercial ventures sprouting up, the city is at par with other developed cities in the country and yet nature is the foremost preserve in Rotorua. While it offers the latest cosmopolitan infrastructure and facilities, it still manages to retain the cultural ethnicity of the region.

Manaakitanga! (Feel the spirit!)
