Rotorua Inns - Reviews and Rates

This morning we visited the Waikato museum in Hamilton before driving to Rotorua. Lily and Heath were a bit shocked by the smell, but seem to be over it now. We did some shopping at Farmers (like a Target?) and Countdown (like Coles?). We now have a pram (push-chair) for Hugh.

There is a heated mineral pool downstairs from our room at th...

26/08/08 - L From the coast we drove down to Rotorua, which is 297m above sea level and smells awful!! Before we arrived in the town we had a quick adrenaline filled stop at the Agrodrome Adventure Park for Zorbing!! This was an awesome experience and I have never giggled so much! You basically get thrown into a huge plastic ball get soaked in w...

Stayed in a 4* motel in Palmerston North with Miachaela's friend Laurie. Drove the next day to Omori, a village on the shore of Lake Taupo,near to Rotarua.

I got up nice and early and made my way to Wai-O-Tapu geothermal park. I bought my ticket, had some breakfast, then made my way over to the Lady Knox geyser. A man came out and poured soap flakes into the top and gave us a talk about geysers. They do this every morning at 10:15am. It began bubbling over then a few minutes later, the man said he ...

The next day I stand on the road outside of Palmerston to start the way to Taupo, or so I thought. In the middle of the road one of my rides told me that his going to Rotorua, so I decided that this is where I'm going. When arriving to Rotorua I met two Argentinean girls and we decide to go to the Mitai village. The Mitai is a Maori village that...

The hairy footed hobits must have really struggled climbing Mt. Doom because my long powerful legs had a hell of time at it. Well I didn't actually climb it, more like walk by it. The Tangori(will correct the spelling) Crossing is one of the best day hikes in the world. Being at the top of the list it naturally had to be checked off the list of ...

We left Papamoa Beach and headed straight for Rotorua, I suggested stopping at a couple tourist things but we really weren't that interested and they cost to get in so we arrived at the Top 10 about 2pm. It was so hot that we couldn't face to be outside. Robert rang a couple of engineering businesses in Tokoroa that he'd found which specialised ...

Rotorua.....Geyser wonderland....full of strange sights and not so inviting smells...2 hours from Auckland and yet a whole world away....steams pouring out of the most unexpected places...from chimneys to holes in the ground. It takes some getting used to! An afternoon spent playing on the luge - basically a gokart that's built to whizz around a...

Rotorua is famous (according to the Lonely Planet) for two things - it's thermal activity & the extensive Maori culture in the area. Hence I hot footed it in that direction in order to experience both. 1st stop was the Polynesian Spa to chill out in those thermal pools. It was actually sunny so for the first time in ages I was stripping off the ...
