Government Gardens

It’s a huge garden with beautiful flowers, historic statues and buildings. If you want to know more about the history of Māori and Rotorua, you should pay a visit to this place!

This is a delightful place to visit, especially in spring when all the flowers are in bloom. There are two main buildings; Government House currently undergoing renovation and the Blue Baths, a fascinating Spanish mission design. There is also a short scenic drive to the Lakes edge where you can see an abundance of water birds. This place is definitely worth a visit.

nice place. good for walk and look the lake. easy to find carpark. nearby the bustling restaurant street.

Exploring this beautiful place was a delight! We immersed ourselves in stunning natural surroundings, taking in the sights and sounds without a care for snapshots. The faint scent of sulfur added to the experience. Ample free street parking made access easy, perfect for picnics and fun outings with kids. Ideal spot to unwind and connect with nature!

I really enjoy walking through the Government gardens whenever I visit Rotorua. It's a shame that the renovation of the museum seems to take forever. But the gardens themselves are lovely.
