When in North Island, Mokoia Restaurant is the restaurant to seek out. It occupies 77 Robinson Avenue in Holdens Bay, Rotorua 3010, on the volcanic plateau of the central North Island.
A 4.5 out of 5 average has emerged from 17 reviews, a figure that points to a kitchen serving a loyal local following.

English and te reo Māori both carry official status, so bilingual signage and Māori place names are part of daily life. The North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, and Rotorua sits at its centre. Auckland, Wellington, Taupo and Hamilton are among the places within reach.
Rotorua draws visitors for its thermal activity as much as its table, and the town makes an easy base for a wider loop of the island. New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea. Weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.
