Twenty minutes drive from Wai-O-Tapu, we arrived at our motel to find we had our own plunge pool :-).
Rotorua was a popular spa resort in the early twentieth century because of its thermal springs. In fact the Tudor-style building in the background of the photo used to be the Bath House. It then became a government building hence the name “Government Gardens” for the pretty – and very English-looking – gardens in front of it.
It is now a museum which we had a look round. We had a look at the Art Deco Blue Baths too. A bit different from our communal swimming pools.
