The Must-See Geothermal Village

The Holiday Inn Rotorua is in close proximity to the Whakarewarewa Geothermal Village, which presents an amazing educational experience. Visitors are welcomed into this traditional Maori village to learn about its history and culture, from its wooden carved houses to its thriving Arts and Crafts Institute. The village is built on an area of geothermic activity, so while you’re here you can take in the 500 natural hot springs and geysers for which it’s famous for. Did you know that the natural heat from the springs is also what keeps our swimming pool heated all year round?
