Their shared slow cooked NZ lamb shoulder is outstanding. Pre order though as it takes approx. 45min to prepare. Great location, good beer, and great food.

Everything Else

This classic building and pool complex is a throwback to Rotoruas early days. With three heated pools (and an entry fee that is significantly more modest then some other similar offerings) this is the hot pool of choice for locals looking to soak away their aches and pains. It does close early though so Polynesian spa would be the go for nightime soaks if thats what you are after.
