subject: Book Into a Rotorua Lodge and Have an Amazing Break! [print this page] There are many reasons why booking yourself into a Rotorua lodge for a few days (or more!) can make a lot of sense. This small city in the North Island of New Zealand offers plenty to the visitor, and it is no wonder that it is one of the more popular places for visitors to the country to go to. It has many unique features that give holiday makers plenty to remember for many years to come.
This part of the country is a real geothermal wonderland. You'll notice evidence of this as you arrive in the city, with a smell of sulphur in the air, although it does depend on what part of the area you are in. Drifts of steam waft up from cracks and mud pools, some of which are assessable in public parks you can walk through.
A large proportion of the population of this part of the country is the indigenous Maori, and it's a well known cultural centre of New Zealand. There are plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy live performances, to eat food cooked in the hangi, an underground oven, or to enjoy some of the more modern interpretations of their art and culture in some of the galleries around the city.
If you are going to book into a Rotorua lodge, consider booking close to the lakeside. There is a chain of fifteen lakes in the area, many sporting amazing supplies of fish. These lakes are surrounded by farmland or beautiful native bush. Stay at a place offering fishing supplies and you'll be able to see if you can land one of those beauties for yourself. Your host can either help you cook it, or help you parcel it up to take on with you.
After a hard day out on the water, consider dipping into the water. The Polynesian Spa offers thermal pools you can soak in, including private pools that offer privacy and amazing views.
If you like a bit of thrill-seeking, then this is the place to go. The large numbers of tourists into the area has allowed many different operators to provide a range of safe but thrilling activities you can enjoy including bungy jumping, Zorbing and luging. There are also many trails you can explore either on foot, by mountain bike or by four wheel drive. You'll have definitely earned a nap back at the Rotorua lodge you've booked into after that!
