Fabulous hot pools... I like to visit first thing in the morning or late at night. The pools are are open until 11pm so a great way to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing. Enjoyable even in winter, the changing rooms have heated flooring and fabulous hot showers. Grab some spare towels from our hot water cupboard so you don't need to hire towels at the Spa.

Ticked the sports & recreation box for this but even if you're not into "luging", it is still worth a visit just for the fabulous views on a nice day and the fabulous food at Stratosfare...

Food Scene
Whenever I have visitors, we like to enjoy a leisurely drive to the Landing via the Blue and Green Lakes, maybe stopover en route at a tiny museum called The Buried Village, then head out to the Landing Lake Tarawera... great place for a pizza and a glass of wine.
