The Rotorua Museum of Art and History grounds in Rotorua, New Zealand. A little bit of Victorian England in New Zealand, the grounds contain lovely gardens and lawn bowl...lawns. Open and clean, it draws a nice mix of locals and tourists. The museum contains a great collection of fine arts and artifacts from the Maori culture.
The Polynesian Spa in Rotorua is a great place to warm up on a rainy day. Go in the morning and you'll have the place to yourself.
#colorful #swan #katefromthestates #rotorua #newzealand My friend and I were driving back from a long day of exploration when the pastel sunset started to be overtaken by storm clouds. We were shocked at the beauty that surrounded us because one could easily say that we didn't have very good weather in Rotorua - I'd have to disagree. Even though the days were grey and cloudy, each night was just as serene as this!

This show was awesome! After the initiation you are welcomed into the village and go threw different stations learning about the culture and then you get a performance show and dinner. Definitely recommend and reservations book way out, so book early! And tip: ask for Mark to be your driver... Seriously I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard

There was a 1 inch gap between the balcony door and frame. The wind was blowing in. I heard loud music from downstairs pub most off the night and it started at 7:00 am. There was no hot water in the morning. Their thermal pools were closed.
