Bubbling mineral springs and pools promise maximum relaxation in Rotorua, on New Zealand's North Island. Therapeutic hot mud pools, dramatic geysers and a buried village are within easy reach of the city. What happens in the bubbling mud geysers of "Rotovegas"—the area at the top of Fenton Street—stays in Rotovegas. Once you've made the most of the mud, soar nearly 2,000 feet on the Skyline Gondola for views of Lake Rotorua, then zip back down to explore the lake by paddle steamer, fishing charter or WWII amphibious vehicle.

The staff are very friendly and we had a nice meal but there was nothing that makes this restaurant stand out from any that we tried on our visit. The prices are a little too expensive for the standard as well.It would not be worth the trip out of Rotorua when there are many good choices to be had there.Dear Crystalrose54,Thank you very much for taking the time to providing us with a feedback. It is disappointing to hear that your experience did not meet your expectation. I sincerely apologies for any inconvenience. Our prices are competitive in Rotorua market. Rest assured, your comment has been taken on board, we will take appropriate actions to improve. We pride our service and food and I am glad to hear you enjoyed the service and meal. The restaurant/resort also provides complimentary shuttle service to and from town which has to be pre-booked. Thank you once again for the feedback. We hope we have the opportunity to host you in future. Warm Regards,Aayush Silwal

This was our second visit for lunch and I must say standards appeared to have dropped. I had the open chicken sandwich, rather different from last time in terms of the amount of chicken, bacon and salad; my partner had the steak sandwich which he was disappointed with in terms of quality; spicy shrimps, which were still good; childâs nachos with chicken, which looked disgusting in terms of colouring, probably tasted better than looked; a couple of dishes with taco chips served with salsa or guacamole and not much else. Overpriced for what you receive, also applies to the beverages. Sorry but I would think twice before ever returning.
