    Rotorua Lakefront is a must do for all visitors to our region. Enjoy surreal morning views and epic sunset's over a pearl-like water reflections.

    The Lakefront is a Reserve that features BBQs, picnic tables and other areas perfect for family oriented activities.
     

    Rotorua’s first recorded playground equipment was a merry-go-round gifted “to the children of Rotorua” by local bakers Mr. and Mrs. Graeff in 1929.  From then a range of playground's and water activites are active through all weather and seasons.
     

    A wharf has been part of the reserve for its full history.
