“Rotorua – feel the spirit – Manaakitanga.” It’s our catch cry … and it holds a pretty powerful promise as well as an invitation to experience the essence of our extraordinary slice of New Zealand. Rotorua is a wonderful place to live, work, invest and do business in, and is something my family and I have been doing for the past 25 years. My wife Sue and I both work full-time, so we know the value of family life and having two young children of our own we appreciate the quality time we get to spend together. We are truly spoilt with the pristine, natural environment we share with a relatively small number of people. There are so many outdoor activities to be enjoyed on our 15 fishable lakes, plus numerous rivers and streams surrounded by scenic tracts of bush, forest and farmland. Because Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s leading visitor destinations, there are always plenty of world-class events and activities happening here. Thank you for taking an interest in the Rotorua District. We look forward to welcoming you to our special place soon.

Kind regards Kevin Winters Mayor of Rotorua
