“Rydges Rotorua seems geared towards active families; the mountain bike storage and heated pool certainly caught my eye. Chapman's Restaurant has earned accolades, which is a nice bonus when you're not venturing far. It's the VIK program-Very Important Kids-that suggests a real focus on making family stays easier, particularly with Rotorua's many geothermal attractions nearby.”
