Craig Williams: Maketū Pies General Manager on the first hot pie vending machine in Rotorua

A Kiwi classic with added convenience. 

Rotorua has its first hot pie vending machine, stocked with the famous Maketū Pies. 

All ten varieties are on offer in the machine, which sits just outside the I-site and besides the Redwoods Treewalk. 

General Manager Craig Williams told Heather du Plessis-Allan the site was selected for visibility, with around 700,000 tourists passing through per day. 

He says a lot of international tourists are looking for a hot pie as part of their Kiwi experience, and the novelty of the machine will capture attention.
