Lake Okareka featuring a lake or waterhole

Lake Okareka

Despite its pretty views and charming, leafy walks, this picturesque lake manages to remain relatively crowd-free and peaceful.

This is a geothermal area in Rotorua. The local guide took us to the Maori village where we watched the traditional dance including haka. This place is so beautiful it's worth it driving 3 hours from Auckland

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

10/10 Excellent
"Our “room” was actually a two bedroom unit with living area and kitchenette. A real plus was the washer/dryer in the bathroom. Decent location splitting the difference between the CBD and Mount Eden. Underground parking for a fee, the ramps were steep and narrow but we had a small car so not too scary. "
