Adjoining Government Gardens is the Maori village of Ohinemutu, once the most important Maori settlement in the Rotorua area. On the marae (assembly place), beside the meeting house and the church, is the bust of Queen Victoria presented by the Prince Alfred in 1870, protected by a marvelous carved canopy. Everywhere in the area, between the houses and in the tiny gardens, clouds of steam issue from the ground.
