Rotorua Bucks Destination

Rotorua is as difficult to spell as it is to predict the weather. Summer is the busiest time of year, but also attracts relatively heavy rainfall and humidity. Temperatures range from low to mid-20s, and sunscreen is essential – not just for the red heads of the group. The conditions start to cool down around March, and overnight temperatures are known for being rather brisk. This climate may not give your skin a golden glow but it makes for the perfect weather to tackle one of the many hikes or trails in the region, without sweating up a storm. Winter doesn’t usually see temperatures cold enough to produce snow but some elevated areas will occasionally be dusted at some points between June and August. 

Just like your cousin Sally, getting around Rotorua is pretty darn easy for anyone. Many of the region’s major attractions are within walking distance of the central city, and plenty of the local footpaths are “Share with Care” facilities to be used by bike riders as well. Public buses also run regular routes throughout the CBD and into the surrounding areas, leaving from the main drag every hour on weekdays. You’ll find taxis on every corner in the city and rental car agencies throughout the CBD and at the airport terminals. 

You may not know us, but we know you. We know that you’re looking to go hard, and not go home until the early hours of the morning. How do we know that? Because you’re throwing a bucks party, duh! Lucky for you, Rotorua delivers just what the doctor ordered. 

Whether you’ve been prescribed something very traditional, quite classy, or something in between, this eclectic nightlife scene has your poison of choice in stock. The kick-ass selection of watering holes is accompanied by a drool-worthy array of dining venues. Many of the world-class menus take advantage of the abundance of local produce, to curate the type of meals that will have you going back for 6ths, 7ths and 8ths.

Rotoura is a vibrant, surprising and beautiful destination that will satisfy your needs better than a pub-steak. We know it’s a big call, but from the minute you step foot inside this natural oasis, you’ll be searching for an excuse to stay. Don’t worry, we won’t let your Missus know where you’re hiding.

It’s as easy as can be.
