[tinkertaylorsoldier]

so beautiful ;)

[fobvsmcfly]

my friend owns the water taxi there

[dxn90210]

i love swimming there

[rohicks]

wow that view off of the end of that dock looks almost fake.

Would be an awesome place to get some photography.

[snappalips]

awsome place to just relax and enjoy the view

[NZCoon]

I went on a 2 day trek all around that area (Mt.Robert, Ski Basin etc) Come back to that same Jetti at night and there are hundreds of ells

[gonnagetcoffee]

Grr at Mt Robert (on the right of the jetti)

i had to climb up it for school camp

[kuneheaven]

How much of a climb is it??

[gonnagetcoffee]

well it takes a moderate walker 3 hour to get to the top... it took a lot longer for us because most of us were not so fit. The heat of the day gets to you as most of the track is exposed and the rest is NZ forrest (nice and cool)...

We stayed at the Bushline Hut...

AMAZING VIEWS FROM THE TOP

it takes an hour and a half to get back.

This is so amazing!

so beautiful :]

awesome spot, I would love to go travel there, it seems so beautiful!! :]

[westiesworld4u]

Beautiful spot. We kiwi's are so lucky to be living in paradise.

Won't be long till it's been subdivided, houses everywhere, lakes closed due to pollution from septic tanks and storm water run off, full of "Adventure Tourism" and all that other crap that comes with globilization.

[Breakdowncon]

This is like and hour from my house. w00t.

Lake rotoiti is in the north island not south

[kuneheaven]

There are 2 Lake Rotoiti's Philip..confusing but true

[Phillipgr0123]

Really?

[kthestoppa]

this lake is in the south island philip u can tell by da mountains i went there b 4... rite next to it is lake rotoroa...

[dyl99]

pollution ruining our lakes?? cos of all the big factories in the nelson lakes area?? what pollution are you on about? you want to see pollution go to asia and europe. nz is nowhere near as bad as overseas. only sad thing in nz is all the introduced pests that are killing the native birds & forests...and regards tourists...get off your arse and walk up to hopeless creek hut or john tait, not many tourists up there...and they got as much rights to be there as you do.

[pedrokadaka]

thats a great place to visit!

[kurtlandt]

yes i sounded a bit agressively ans i am sorry for that but it just makes me angry ...maybe better having some sort of restriction on the amount of tourists we let in..who am I to say all that...I came on a plane as well.:-(

[RetrieverPuppy24]

I like lakes in NZ...they're so beautiful to look at and so peaceful...but pollution is ruining them all!..If only people could see what global warming and pollution is doing to our lakes and native animals...

[secondsession]

Odd, lake Rotoiti is also in the north island. about an hour from where i live.

[kuneheaven]

it is weird...you would think there would be enough names to go around..but nope..Rotoiti means "little lake"...so i guess its a name that applies to a lot of lakes in NZ!

[Patiriktirik]

more beautiful than beautiful.

[kurtlandt]

tourists go back home we can handle the situation...stop taking polluting planes...ecotourism my eye!!

[kurtlandt]

Green NZ he....no recycling...the use of chemicals in the building industry is fenominal and very sad...the she'll be right attitude towards nature by the majority kiwis is shocking...they take it for granted..so sad

[kurtlandt]

long live the peaceful sound of nature- boycot as much and as long as you can tourism.

[kurtlandt]

fuck eco tourism..fuck noisy polluting jetboat rides bungy and all that stuff.I live here 12 years now and although tourism brings money in it sure ruins my peace here down south NZ stay away and explore your own country.leave us alone

[kuneheaven]

I tend to agree kurtland, (but not quite so agressively!) I look forward to air travel being to expensive so we can keep our country to ourselves. I would rather walk through the bush and hear only tuis.

[kurtlandt]

:-)

[magicmunchies]

I love NZ! It's sooo damn pretty!

[musosf]

Simply stunning. I miss NZ.

[SouthernBroadway]

omg i totally was there this summer! I went to NZ with a group called international student volunteers and we stopped at the lake for a break from the bus! we went out to the end of the dock and there were huge eels in the water! it was awesome! yay memories!

[holymoly1234]

Excuse my ignorance, but I thought Lake Rotoiti was around 20 minutes outside Rotorua in the NI? Same name, different location?

[rikirotovegas]

Yeah theres two lake Rotoiti's Rotorua and Nelson I think!lol a lil retarted to name two lakes in the same country but ahwell

[samcamfilms]

usally the lake would be packd of boats?

was up their yesterday filming up mt robert

[kuneheaven]

this was taken in May 2005...much quieter I think.

[johnnycocaine]

The whole place would fall over economically if it wasnt for the tourists

[Gplex]

Probably another american who doesn't know anything about nz.

[Keytaster]

oh yes, how beautiful could earth be without humans...

[wheengs]
