You can see so much on New Zealand’s North Island in just three days. During my stay in Rotorua and coastal Tauranga, I visited the Hobbiton Movie Set (New Zealand’s number-one tourist attraction), felt the force of Huka Falls near Lake Taupo, walked on suspension bridges high among the Redwood trees, had a ball at Zorb Rotorua and explored all of Mount Maunganui. I’ll show you what I did, where I ate and where I stayed.
