We were a little disappointed at the quality of the motel in Rotorua. Don't always believe what you see on the internet. The mineral plunge pool was more of a paddling pool.
My advice is to do your homework and check out a range of different accomodation options.
Rotorua is a very international city and as a New Zealander/ Kiwi felt like a stranger in my own country. It's a little ironic that overseas visitors come to Rotorua for a taste of New Zealand when it has such a strong international influence.
The first attraction we went to was the gondola & luge. This was a lot of fun & I would highly recommend it.
The gondola provides some great views over the lake and city. The luge is a huge amount of fun, for all ages & abilities. It is very safe. There are 3 lanes on the luge. Scenic (slow & long), Intermediate (medium & fun) and the Advanced (fast & furious). You pay for each run and buying a concession ticket reduces the cost.
There are lockers available for your bags at the top of the gondola plus food and a souvenir shop.
You can buy photos of yourself as you speed down the luge course or travelling in the gondola.
Best to go early in the day during busy periods as the course fills up but the lines were well managed.
I rate this experience 4/5
