Lake Rotorua
Located in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, the Rotorua region is one of the country’s oldest tourist destinations, all because of some smelly water. The geothermal activity has made the lake area a spa destination for as long as there have been visitors to New Zealand. Today it’s much more than just spas, there are a variety of attractions and activities near and around Lake Rotorua, making it a fun and relaxing place to spend a few days. As you can see, it’s also one of the most beautiful areas of the country.
