Introduction
The Rotorua Rhododendron Forest, established in 1974 near the lakefront parks, is one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest rhododendron collections. From September to November, tens of thousands of rhododendrons and camellias bloom in layered colour across the slopes; trails and lakeside lawns suit picnics, and autumn turns the leaves red and orange — something for every season.
