It's not surprising that it's been a popular spa area for visitors since the 1880s, and much earlier, for the indigenous population. If you want to immerse yourself in therapeutic pools, the Polynesian Spa, with over 30 pools and its range of massage and other treatments, is close by.
For sweeping views over Lake Rotorua, take a ride in the gondola part way up Mount Ngongotaha, then descend again in the luge for a great adrenaline rush!
