Stroll through the streets of Rotorua, voted New Zealand’s most beautiful city six times, and instantly feel like you have entered another world; where hot steam escapes from cracks in the road, back gardens come with their own natural mineral hot pool and the pungent aroma of sulphur exotically permeates the air. Although one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist spots, Rotorua still maintains its small-town charms.

Never stop exploring, Ian
