And Nichola moves on to Sudima Hotel at lake Rotorua
Lake Rotorua is the second largest lake in the North Island of New Zealand by surface area, and covers 7,878 ha. With a mean depth of only 11 m it is considerably smaller than nearby Lake Tarawera in terms of volume of water. It is located at 38°05′S, 176°16′E in the Bay of Plenty region. The city of Rotorua is sited on its southern shore, and the town of Ngongotaha is at the western edge of the lake.
The lake was formed from the crater of a large volcano in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Its last major eruption was about 240,000 years ago. After the eruption, the magma chamber underneath the volcano collapsed. The circular depression left behind is the Rotorua Caldera, which is the site of the lake. Several other lakes of volcanic origin are located nearby to the east, around the base of the active volcano Mount Tarawera.
