Wow what a great week it has been for Lake Taupo and Rotorua, with the announcement of what teams the two tourist towns will host during the Rugby World Cup

Taupo will host Wales for five nights, Ireland for four, and South Africa for nine.

Rotorua will host Namibia for seven nights, Fiji for two, Samoa for six, Ireland for four, and a European team for two.

With both Taupo and Rotorua been conveniently positioned in the centre of the North Island, with large populations in surrounding areas. This is a great move by the Rugby World Cup to make sure that the game gets great spread and visibility, and make sure it isn’t just confined to the large cities and Metropolitan areas.

With some top class accommodation in both towns, it will mean that our visiting players and guests will leave suitably impressed and hopefully return in the future.
