I visit Rotorua often to shop and attend the kuirau market...the Redwoods have always been a favourite place to bring my horse to ride but haven't done so for quite some time now and the concerts and festivals are always a crowd pleaser...

Rotorua has lots to do. We did the downhill luge, geothermal parks, mud spa pools, Mauri cultural evening, redwood forest. The centre isn't huge but eat street has some good options. It's an hour from Hobbiton too.

Was a great city, while we were there we did Hells Gate, Redwood Altitude, Kiwi Hatchery, and took a long day and did Waitomo Caves. Plus walked the boardwalk, and had some good food in the downtown area.

Beautiful little town that is a good base for outdoor activity (biking, hiking...) and cultural trips (Maori village excursions). Food and city entertainment options are a little limited within the city centre so a car would be advised.
"It as its own spa. Friendly staff and excellent breakfast. The only thing downside is that the bathroom and the building is a bit tired, although very clean for its age. May need a renovation soon. The bed was clean and the mattress was excellent. Highly recommended. "
