Re: advice from those who are in the know..... Please
I have to say that I agree with BB's comments above - & would also add that Rotorua's only an hour from the east coast beaches of Papamoa & the Mount for surfing/ swimming/ fishing etc, and approx 2 hours to the whakapapa ski fields. 3 hours to Auckland for a bit of big city shows & shopping etc. The only real negative is the lack of social life in the evenings, we do have occasional shows & events but generally there's not a lot of activity here in the evenings. But I'm not sure how lively South Island destinations are for night life.
