The original station was near the corner of what is now Tasman Rd and Te Kowhai Rd East. The wartime NZRAF stores base (now The Base) is at the foot of this 1961 picture. A locomotive appears to be shunting in the sidings. The new station is located slightly further south, along the NIMT.

Rotokauri is a semi-rural suburb split between western Hamilton and Waikato District in New Zealand. It is one of the future urban zones of Hamilton, along with Peacocke. The northeastern parts of Rotokauri, within Hamilton, are sometimes called Burbush and Baverstock. Part of Rotokauri was taken into Hamilton with the 10th city extension in November 1989. Until then it had been in the Waipa County Council area.
