Amiria Tomoana - Global Traveller
"Yes, really worthwile information for those visiting Rotorua. Take it from someone who used it. Thank you, so much easier."
Karen Hubbard - Sydney, Australia
"...
your website is the best resource for planning a trip there that I have
encountered! It answers all of the questions you end up having after
reading other sites, and presents information in such a clear and
concise way.
... wish I'd encountered your site before printing off reams of info that will probably be whittled down to one page.
... hope the local government and tourism people realise what a great asset and ambassador they have in you! :P"
