some of my Maori crafts

What to buy: Rotorua is a great place to buy traditional Maori crafts such as woodcrafts, jade jewellery and items, the ever popular and visible Tiki, which is an important symbol of good luck. Also a good town to also buy other goods, woollen products, also Paua Shell jewellery, bowls - many beautiful items made of Paua.

Tiki

The two main streets are Tutanekai and Hinemoa and the City Focus Square is within walking distance, providing the services an information centre. There is an abundance of craft and souvenir shops so if something uniquely New Zealand is what you are wanting, this is the place to get it. There are also clothing and fashion stores, ice cream parlours, sporting goods, pharmacies and of course restaurants and cafes.

Rotorua

 Rotorua is a hub of activity, with much going on within a reasonable small area. Rotorua lies on the shores of Lake Rotorua and apart from the whiff of sulphur, is a great place! Actually, you very......

 You would think Maori land should look a little more exotic. But the hills around Rotorua are as green as the pine-covered Black Forest. Ok, not all trees are pines, and the bush is dotted with old......
