Rotorua Things to Do Tips by Robdaz

A must visit when you are in Rotorua is Polynesian Spa. It is an historical hot mineral springs spa, situated five minutes walk from Rotorua’s central business district, and overlooks Sulphur Bay on Lake Rotorua

The Lake Spa Retreat at the Polynesian Spa offers a variety of blissful treatments and after a hard day of sight seeing and other activities this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view over the lake.

If you want to get a sample of Maori cultural experience, it is definitelty better in my opinion, to go for the Te Whakarewarewa Cultural Village rather than the Tamaki Village Life experience.. I've been to both and been to Te Whakarewarewa twice.

In Whakarewarewa, they will have various Maori Village buildings as well as a Maori Warrior welcome before the cultural show.
There is also demonstration of various maori crafts such as basket weaving, green stone carving etc etc. In additional within the compound you can also go for a walk in the thermal fields ie mudpools, steaming pools , geysers.. The picture on my main page of the geyser is taken at Whakarewarewa.
