I spent a lot of time wandering around
Rotorua’s Government Gardens when I last visited the city during my 2009 Frommers New Zealand update in May. And for the first time, I peeked through the windows of
Te Runanga Tea House. 
Built in 1903 as a tea pavilion,
Te Runanga was a popular meeting place in Rotorua for many years. It was a place to relax with friends and perhaps enjoy a drink of tea or mineral water – that is, until the Blue Baths tearooms opened in 1933. From then until its closure in 1991, Te Runanga served as a bowling pavilion.
It was re-opened in 1993 after it had been extensively restored.
