Hours and Amenities

Rotoroa Island is open most days from dawn until dusk and a range of amenities are available for visitors, from bbqs to changing sheds, fresh water and toilets.

Amenities

Changing sheds, historic buildings and the island's museum and exhibition centre are open 10am - 5pm most days. We recommend you wear sturdy footwear for Rotoroa's gravel roads and tracks.

Barbeques, toilets and fresh water are all accessible from Home Bay, the island's main settlement. Mobile phone coverage is excellent on the island.

Because there are no shops on Rotoroa, we recommend you pack a picnic, togs and sunblock. There are two electric barbeques on the island, but if you want to be assured of using one of these, we recommend you email us so we can reserve one for you. A booking fee applies.

Help us protect Rotoroa's developing environment

Dogs and other animals are prohibited on the island as we aim to become predator-free.

To help us maintain Rotoroa's beauty we ask that any rubbish you bring on to the island you take off.

Fires and camping are prohibited on the island, as is biking as it damages our fragile roads and tracks.
