Hotels in Rotorua - Prices and Reviews

As our drive from Tauranga to Rotorua was just over an hour, we trundled into town mid-morning and had the day stretching ahead. At a funky cafe in town we had a coffee before getting to the information centre and being booked immediately for a Maori Village experience. Though it sounds aweful, the afternoon was fantastic and very informative. T...

Well here we are with day 3 at Rotorua.  On this day we went to visit the Thermal Wonderland and saw the Lady Knox Geyser lift off. It was interesting to watch but was a little staged as the guide added some sort of soap to the geyser in order to make it blow. He said that it would blow by itself but for the tourist they gave it a helping hand. ...

Thermal action in Rotorua, Clare whats the smell, did you xxxx? Tuesday 2nd September We awoke to rendition of two Tuis singing in the garden and after an early breakfast and having finally decided what to do in Rotorua we set off for a Florence and Phil special ticky tour of the town and the museum. We were then dropped at TaPuia Maori cultural...

Thursday was our full day in Rotorua. The sound of millions of birds woke us up. That morning we went to breakfast at the hotel - Amy tried kidney - and I braved the freezing cold and stinky smell to take gorgeous pictures of the sunrise. After breakfast, we perused the gift shop and got some souvenirs. Amy tried to skype her parents, but there ...

I left Rochelle, Lauren and Renske as they all got a lift straight to Taupo and headed back to Rotorua, so that I could actually have a look around town. Got back at about 2pm so had a good chance to get settled in and head out for a wander. Other than the whiffs of sulphur that often overwhelmed me, Rotorua is a nice little town, with a gorgeou...

Sähköpostista Paulalle: Reissu on mennyt hyvin, tänään kahlattiin ja ryömittiin poikien kanssa tuliperäisessä joessa. Vesi oli 31 asteista, osa rantakivistä ja pohjakivistä paljon lämpimämpiä. Sieltä sun täältä pulppusi paljon lämpimämpää vettä, rikki höyrysi ja täytyi kokeilla mihin kättään työnsi ryömiessään sillä kahdenkymmenen sentin päässä ...

We left Te Aroha early doors and first headed to Matamata as Kev wanted to see Hobbiton, the tour however was far more expensive than we had banked on and we both decided to give it a miss, Kev was happy with buying some postcards and stamps emblazened with the face of Golom. We continued on and arrived in Rotorua where the smell of sulphur hit ...

Nick - It took us a few days, but we finally got around to visiting the main reason for both the amount of tourists and the awful smell in Rotorua, the geysers at Te Puia. We spent the morning wondering around the park which alongside numerous geysers also sported a some mud pools, a Maori woodcarving shop and Kiwi house. Unfortunately a lot of ...

Hi Guys, Been a very busy week. Firstly let me thank Emma George for her e-mail comparing me to some Big Brother Gay contestant. Thats really great. Anyway, we arrived in Rotorua (which *****************) and it is a really beautiful town. The weather has been cloudless but a little nippy but thats cool. On the bus from Auckland we met 2 sound l...

It has been raining quite a bit here but today has turned sunny. Every now and then there is a sunshower which are always so nice. I arrived in Rotorua anticipating the smell but it really isn't as bad as I was expecting. The sulphur aroma permeates everything but the rain makes it smell less, they say. Maybe after a few days of hot sun, I may c...
