DISCOVERING A NEW
ROTORUA WORDS VICKI RAVLICH-HORAN
Dubbed Rotovegas, Rotorua is often relegated as a tourist spot, thus a town many Kiwis visit once and then tick off their list. Sitting just over an hour’s drive from Hamilton, Tauranga and Taupō, this is a town that you can enjoy as a daytrip, a long weekend, a week or more. You will easily fill that time, as this is a town that the more time you spend here the more you will discover, be it the amazing mountain biking tracks, the stunning walks or serene lakes and all they offer, the mind-blowing nature from geysers and mud pools to native birds. The thrill seekers can throw themselves off mountains, jet ride or raft rivers, and those just looking to relax will find a long list of luxury spas. So if you think you have been there, done that, think again. Rotorua has much much more to offer! We spent a long weekend in town and came home with a list of places we want to go the next time we visit, and that will be soon.
