Testimonials
"We are a family of four from Sydney Australia and love nature - bush to beach.
We love your website and found your tips on things to do in Rotorua very valuable - exactly what we look for in destinations."
Anita —Sydney
"Thank you Karen! I think your site is wonderful. We followed your ideas today for blue lake and green lake, and went to the Landing Cafe first, brilliant we would have missed Lake Tarawera otherwise and it is so beautiful and peaceful."
Rosie

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"
