The appropriately named Hot Rock is certainly the hottest place to stay if you are heading for Rotorua. Enjoy the two mineral pools and the swimming pool during the day and then spend the evenings get steamy with your fellow backpackers in the Lava Bar. Plus the staff are keen for you to see the best that Rotorua has to offer and are on hand to sort out any activities or tours that take your fancy. The ideal place to explore the Maori culture and mudpools of Rotorua.
