This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Johnluisocasio (talk | contribs) at 20:51, 12 May 2024 (changed coordinates of this populated place, as the other Rotokawa that's located within Taupo District of Waikato Region doesn't have any marae close to its borders).

This article is about rural community where Pikirangi Marae is located. For the native New Zealand plant, see Ileostylus micranthus.

Rotokawa is a rural community in the Rotorua District and the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island.[1]

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "bitter lake" for Rotokawa.[2]

Marae

The suburb has two Te Ure o Uenukukōpako marae.

Ruamatā Marae and Uenukukōpako meeting house is a meeting place for the hapū of Ngati Te Kanawa.
