Where else on earth can you stand upon active volcanoes, massive craters, see boiling mud pools, exploding geysers, native forests, a buried Maori village, and a sacred green lake? Rotorua was once home to the “eighth wonder of the world” - the famous Pink and White Terraces which were tragically destroyed in the 1886 volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera.

From Pohutu Lodge, the Te Puia Cultural Centre is just 200m south; the Rotorua Golf Club is a short walk across the road; the mighty Redwood Forest is 5 minutes drive to the East; and the city centre is only 2km north.
