Why Work And Live In Rotorua

Rotorua has continued to grow and is now the 12th largest city in New Zealand. Famous worldwide for our natural hot springs and geothermal activity, Rotorua is located in the central North Island, home to beautiful scenery and countless things to see and do. Rotorua's central location makes it convenient to travel to other cities in the North Island or to make a day trip to the beach or one of the many lakes and forests around Rotorua.

Close To Nature

With sparkling lakes, spectacular forests, and abundant geothermal activity Rotorua is a great place to get outdoors. With over 200 kilometers of mountain bike trails throughout the Whakarewarewa forest and 18 lakes a short drive away, Rotorua has become a destination for people passionate about the outdoors.

Rotorua is a multicultural city with around 150 ethnicities represented in our community. We have a rich history and a culture of manaakitanga (hospitality and kindness). You see the passion for culture in the regular events and festivals that showcase art, food, and music.
