On second thoughts, my least favourite place in New Zealand is Rotorua (probably won't be a popular opinion haha). Went once and decided it was not my place! Don't like the lake area, mozzies everywhere, not to mention the rotten egg fart smells :D haha. We went back a few times after that but only to visit the Fat Dog cafe and take the kids on the luge, on the way through to Taupo where the lake is sooo much nicer! :D
