Getting There We are a 5 minute drive towards the Town Centre from Rotorua International Airport. We are just 100 mtrs from where Tarawera Road meets Te Ngae Road at the roundabout. If you are travelling South from Auckland, follow the Whakatane signs through Rotorua, when you leave the City Centre, we will be 3-4 minutes on your left hand side, just past the Ngapuna shops and before the roundabout. If you are travelling North from the Taupo area, turn right at the first roundabout in Rotorua, follow the road to the end and then turn right, we are situated a couple of minutes on the left hand side.
Parking Free off-street parking available, directly outside units.
Things To Do We are situated adjacent to the Redwoods (Whakarewarewa Forest)and you have the added benefit of free bike hire with the visitor centre being a short walk away. We are an 8KM drive from the Blue and Green Lakes, the Burried Village is a little further along the same road as is the Mount Tarawera lookout and Lake Tarawera itself. Okere Falls is just 15 minutes drive from here.
A visit would not be complete without sampling our Maori culture (hangi and concert), FREE pickups from our motel. For a great view of the city try the Skyline Skyride, where you can also enjoy great food, or try the luge rides. Visit the Agrodome, Paradise Valley & Fairy Springs, Te Puia thermal park, plus much more. Further a field, we can book Jet Boating, Dolphin Watching or even a trip to White Island (New Zealand's only active marine volcano)
We can book the many attractions in advance for you if need be.
