NEW ZEALAND Nestled in the South Pacific, New Zealand is a country of diverse cultures and opportunities. It is proud of its Polynesian heritage mingled with European tradition, handed down over the years. New Zealand is famous worldwide for its stunningly beautiful scenery and friendly people. It is a lush country, holding many attractions for visitors with its dramatically changing visage up and down the countryside and variety of outdoor pursuits. A visit to New Zealand means good times, new friendships and unforgettable experiences.
ROTORUA Rotorua is located in New Zealand's North Island, a short flight from Auckland or a scenic three hour drive and has long been at the forefront of New Zealand's tourism industry.
The district is blessed with unique natural resources of rivers, lakes, forests and open countryside combined with internationally renowned geothermal mud and natural springs. No other region possesses such a naturally occurring spa environment with such a strong spiritual, historical and cultural link to the indigenous people of the area.
The region's culture is well-versed in "Manaakitanga" - the welcoming, caring and sharing extended to Rotorua visitors from all parts of the globe.
