Rotorua

Geysers and mud pools that keep the whole town smelling faintly of sulphur, a Māori cultural performance that has become the classic way to spend an evening here, and hot springs that turn a long day of sightseeing into an actual spa treatment.
The best time to visit Rotorua is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 18°C (64°F).
