Local Rotorua Activities

Be as formal or relaxed, as you like. The more energetic can play tennis on the championship-sized court, with rackets and balls supplied.

There are many walks around the area, a specialty being Hamurana Springs where 450,000,000 litres of water come out of the ground per hour. Trout, ducks and swans can be seen in the stream.

In winter you can rest beside the open fire with a book or quiet music. Spacious landscaped gardens, with roses, rhododendrons, camellias, and many native trees are a feature of Panorama.

Native birds such as tuis and blue herons are frequently heard and seen on the property.

Relax in the heated outdoor massage spa pool, or a secluded quiet spot snuggled away in the gardens, both with wide sweeping views of Lake Rotorua.
