About Rotorua
The Rotorua district has a multi-cultural population of approximately 68,000 people – around 35% are Māori (the Indigenous people of New Zealand).
An international tourism icon, Rotorua is renowned as the heartland of Māori culture and attracts well over a million overnight visitors annually.
From the moment you enter Rotorua you know you’re somewhere unique. Whether it is the endless supply of activities or the distinct scent of sulphur wafting through geothermal hot spots, Rotorua offers an impressive welcome and is truly the place with something for everyone. You will find many cultural and natural attractions within the district. For the thrill seekers, Rotorua is truly an adventure playground with endless adventure, leisure and sporting options. Be sure to try out some of Rotorua's world class mountain biking trails through the famous Redwood Forest.
Lake Rotorua (the largest lake of the 17 in the district) is approximately 100m from All Seasons Holiday Park. Windsurfing, kayaking and trout fishing are favoured pastimes on the lake. Our office is able to advise you on which lake is fishing the best during your stay.
