Activities

This is the perfect place to have a drink and soak your feet in a hot tub (free!), or splash out and book a private hot tub nestled among the trees. There's often live music on the weekends too. Based at Waipa, where there's an array of forest walks and world class mountain bike trails (as well as bike hire). One of my favourite places in Rototua!
