A town of 56,000 built on the southern cusp of its namesake lake, Rotorua has a strong indigenous influence—the population is about one-third Maori, the highest concentration in the country. Rotorua is also the thermal capital of New Zealand, with the ubiquitous nosetingling smell of sulphur a reminder of the geothermal activity that dominates the region.
