About Rotorua i-Site  

New Zealand is an island country that’s flanked by shining seas on all sides. Furthermore, many New Zealand cities are located near rivers, streams, and lakes. The city of Rotorua is an example of the latter; it’s located just south of Lake Rotorua. Because of this, the city of Rotorua is filled with steaming hot springs and has several waterfronts.

Luggage Storage near Te Wairoa

In 1848, Christian Missionaries traveled to New Zealand and built a small village. These Missionaries wanted this village to act as a model for many more to come. Unfortunately, the settlement was destroyed when Mount Tarawera erupted in 1886. What remains of the Missionaries’ village is Te Wairoa - “the Buried City.” Despite the ominous name, Te Wairoa is actually a beautiful landmark buried in lush greenery and rich soil. Guests are more than welcome to visit Te Wairoa, so long as they respect the grounds. Bounce can hold your luggage while you explore this historic landmark.
