Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.
This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.
Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.
More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange.
Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.
I just enjoyed the town and the attractions I came to see.
I just enjoyed the town and the attractions I came to see. The townspeople were friendly, as were shop assistants. The people who were employed at the attractions went above and beyond to entertain us, educate us, teach us of their culture. They were all very proud of their heredity.
Thoroughly enjoyable 😉

Rotorua is an incredible destination with a wide range of activities available.
There's many wonderful scenic places that can be visited for free, such as Kuirau Park with its geothermal features at the lake end of the park, or if you prefer, take a stroll through the Redwood Forest.
The Government Gardens are a very popular scenic spot and if you carry on down the road on the left you will find access to a lakeside geothermal area.
I've not even mentioned the many beautiful lakes that Rotorua is famous for or the many excellent 'manmade' paid activities but there really is something for everyone.
It's also a fabulous area for cycling, especially so if you enjoy mountain biking.
There's plenty of dining options though my favourite for many years has been The Fat Dog Cafe and Bar which offers great coffee and a wonderful food selection.

The Sky Gondola, Polynesian Spa, Redwood Treewalk were all great and I would recommend them to anyone. For the gondola and treewalk I would recommend getting there early.
Plenty of free things to do. Kuirau Park has free hot foot baths. The lakefront park and boardwalk are amazing. Don’t miss the Kuirau Park flea market and the night market.
The public buses go to a lot of the tourist spots - very convenient.

We only stayed in Rotorua for one night, as we came in from Rotorua airport before moving on to Taupo for 4 nights. For future travellers considering these two towns, I would recommend staying in Rotorua for at least two nights and less time in Taupo; with a car it's easy enough from both to get wherever you want to go on the island, but there's actually a lot in Rotorua we would have liked to do.
We went to Mitai Maori for the dinner + show and cannot recommend it enough; it was so interesting and well-put together as an cultural experience. Also, we went to the 'Secret Spot' Hot Tubs just outside Rotorua; also a must if you want a relaxing day out! Would have liked to visit one of the spas as they looked amazing, but next time!
If I could describe Rotorua in one word it would be : quiet. I guess we were there at the end of high season, so hard to say if it would have been different at another time, but man... there was nothing going on (in a good way!) walking around town and around the lake you just feel so peaceful... so definitely a place to go if you are looking to disconnect and relax a bit!

This is a strange but interesting place.
This is a strange but interesting place. The geothermal activity is all around, the parks and even gardens have hot water and steam radiant g from the earth below. Asthmatics be aware, the toxic gas is never ending. We visit hobbiton and the volcanic valley. Both were excellent. Worth doing the boar ride at the valley.
The Tamarki Māori village experience was very disappointing. We expected a traditional cook out , it was basically a none traditional school dinner like meal. Scotch eggs and curried chicken is not trditional!

Absolutely loved Rotorua.
Absolutely loved Rotorua. First night we arrived, we ate at White Tiger Restaurant and Bar, for all you can eat, it was absolutely delicious, fast service and the staff were awesome and accomodating. Attended the 8:40pm session at for The Redwoods Night Walk (Highly recommended booking FastPass Tickets online to skip the 45 minute wait, saved us a lot of time.). Was an awesome experience and absolutely beautiful. Next day we began with the Lake Rotomahana boat cruise, (Highly recommend booking the first session to avoid a busy boat as we did, we had boat to ourselves other than 2 others on the boat, so plenty of space to move around, whereas next session was completely full.). Awesome experience, learnt a lot also and it was so beautiful. Next we did the Gondola and Luge, bought a 5 ride pass, was a perfect way to use the day, unfortunately 2 tracks were closed, but we still an amazing experience, will definitely be doing again. Had a bunch of photos printed, I feel the photos are expensive just to have sent to your email though, my only down of the Gondola/Luge experience. Finished the night off at Mini Golf Rotorua with Rabbits, which was also awesome, (Recommend to do at night too, with the night lights, was quite pretty.). The bunnies were super cute, and so, so, soft. We then finished our holiday in Taupo the following day, swimming in the lake and lunch.
The hotel is in walking distance to the Polynesian Spa, the Government House, the lake front with several playgrounds, cafes and restaurants. It has 3 hot pool - one suitable for children, the hottest around 39 degree. There is also the Duke restaurant attached to the property. We enjoyed the mulled wine in front of the fire place. We stayed in the one-bedroom studio with kitchenette which is good for a small family who want to prepare own meals. The hotel staff is friendly and very accommodating.
If you’re traveling by Intercity bus in New Zealand, this hotel is within site of the bus terminal. It’s also very close to the lake and a beautiful park. I was surprised to be in a room that was not in the historical hotel but in an adjacent apartment style accommodation. It was adequate but definitely showed its age but not in a quaint way. The laundry room was appreciated for self service. The high tea was ok but didn’t seem as freshly prepared. Staff were very professional and friendly.
We booked with family to stay at golden motel with the photo on website looks better but when we arrive it was so bad our room was given upstairs my wife is 7months pregnant bath tab was wit a note saying can not be used
We told staffs on site we cant stay in hiya this is not what the photo was showing
We booked another hotel thru booking com
We did complain on phone to booking com staffs
We were charged full amount for not staying the the motel which was zero in standard
We really enjoyed this accommodation & loved the story behind the family that turned a run down hotel into what you see today (due to retrenchment) all the while nursing a child with an illness. You can read about them in a book located in the apartment. We were warmly welcomed & delighted with the amenities. Excellent location, only 15-25 minutes from all major tourist attractions with free car parking. Highly recommend.
Travelled with 3 adults & 3 teenage children.
The full kitchen facilities were great. We used the BBQ outside also. The pool was well used by the kids, great to have it in full view of the room. The location was fantastic. Handy to everything...eat street, shops, amazing local park/playground - and of course with driving to local attractions. I would definitely stay here with my family again and highly recommend to anyone I know travelling to Rotorua. And the staff were SO friendly and lovely.
We had a very pleasant stay here the staff were so welcoming when we arrived. Our room was nice and cosy beds were very comfortable the bathroom was Abit small and dated but everything was in working order. Good for families on a budget the pool and hot tubs were great the kids enjoyed their time at the copthrone. The hotel was very quiet aswell which was very pleasant.
Location wise very good, Maori village is already there so convient to walk from hotel and near to city. Your dinner and breakfast was the best in rotorua hotel. My kids loved your meal so much. My kids kept talking about the stay at your hotel already made you a high quality accommodation. I'll choose your hotel again on my next visit to rotorua. Thank you so much
The location, the staff, the facilities, the service , the attitude of the staff, the room , the view from.the room, all were great! haven't found another place with such value for money! Recommend everybody passing through, including campervaners to stay a night here to get the best budget friendly hotel stay!
We loved that there was a soft and a firm pillow as a lot of hotels/motels have pillows like bricks and we prefer a soft one. The bed was lovely and comfy and we slept well. We love the pool temperature. One of the reasons we continue to come back. The coffee machine in the room was a lovely touch.
Great family getaway destination in Rotorua (although the facility is quite aged, there is very nice outdoor heated swimming pool for children to play). We stayed across two executive suite rooms the rooms were clean and cosy. Very friendly staffs especially Aditya’s assistance was noticeable.
My favourite aspects of the Novotel Rotorua are the location and breakfast. Both are ideal I think. The room is good - nothing unusually good for a nice hotel, but good. Everything was there, it all worked and it was clean and tidy.
Fantastic stop especially if you've been in hotels a lot or a small group/family. We enjoyed using the facilities and was nice to be able to cook a meal. If you have a small family I imagine this being a great wee getaway
Will definitley be my go to when travelling to Rotorua. You get your own carpark, own spa, close to everything, awesome bed - and great value too (a lot cheaper than hotels yet so so much better).
