Ohinemutu Village was the city centre for the Rotorua region in the early 1870’s. Visitors, including royalty, arrived at this bustling settlement before going on to visit the Pink and White Terraces at Lake Tarawera, and to experience the healing waters of Rotorua. Today, Ohinemutu is the setting for many significant occasions for the people of Rotorua. It an area of spiritual, historic and cultural importance.
