How to get there

Polynesian Spa sits on Hinemoa Street on the shore of Lake Rotorua, close to the Government Gardens and a short walk or drive from Rotorua's central shopping and dining strip on Tutanekai Street. It is easily reached on foot from central accommodation, or by a brief taxi or rideshare trip from further out. On-site parking is available for those driving, and several city tour operators include the spa as a stop or offer pickup for guests booking treatments.
