Other trip ideas from MALFROY motor lodge.
Kuirau Park is just a few minutes’ walk down the road from our motel – and is FREE. Bubbling mud, boiling water, and lots and lots of steam coming up from all over the place. As well as there being a safe playground area for the younger ones, there is also plenty of space for the teenagers to run around and play touch rugby, soccer or cricket. (Allow 1 – 3 hours).
On the other side of the park you will find Ohinemutu village, where generations of Maori have lived and still do. You will be fascinated by the steam which drifts out of huge holes in peoples gardens and I believe into people’s houses. With its beautiful church by the lake, and the fantastic carvings on the front of their Marae it is well worth taking time to visit this interesting and historical piece of New Zealand (Add another 45 mins to an hour for the village).
It is also worth taking time to drive out and visit the Blue and Green lakes and Lake Tarawera where there are numerous walks to be enjoyed. Having lunch at The Crossing Café on Lake Tarawera can be a good idea too – as it offers really great food. (Allow 2 - 4 hours, without lunch).
Consider renting a boat and going across the lake to hot water beach, where you can bathe in the various pools heated by the thermal waters that come down the hill. (Allow half a day, maybe all day if you take a packed lunch and go on to use the boat to further explore the lake).
The Redwood forest has miles and miles of walking tracks. Huge trees and wonderful tracks, some flat and some steep enough for a really good hike. (Allow 1 – 4 hours).
Horse riding is available in beautiful surroundings, and with a range of horses to suit all ability levels. (Allow 2 – 3 hours).
