Rotorua accommodation from NZ$85

The biggest lake in Rotorua (and the second biggest on New Zealand’s North Island) is the aptly named Lake Rotorua, and there are many ways to explore it – along with the rest of Rotorua’s lakes - including taking a ride on a paddle steamer, going on a guided kayaking tour or river rafting down a waterfall. Take a boat cruise along Lake Rotomahaha, a lake surrounded by unspoilt wilderness that boasts its very own geothermal system. At Lake Rotoiti you can kayak straight into caves full of sparkling glowworms.

Whether you have kids or not, Agroventures Adventure Park is the home of all kinds of unique attractions, including the world’s only pedal-powered suspended monorail: Schweeb.

There are plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind in one of Rotorua’s mud bath spas, including the Hell’s Gate and Wai Ora spas, where you can rejuvenate in a healing mud bath or sulphur spa.

Rotorua is a popular and much-loved mountain biking destination, with heaps of trails in areas like Whakarewarewa Forest.

And when you feel like getting something to eat, head to Rotorua’s vibrant Eat Streat, full of café and restaurant options.
