Staff were excellent. Like the sustainability. Excellent to have separate recycling, compost & landfill for refuse. You can also skip room service & gift a donation to a local charity is given instead.

Nothing not to love about Aura. Handy to Eat Street, Wai Ariki Spa, heaps of off street parking, awesome staff, free wifi, pools are great and clean. Love their sustainability kaupapa and promoting local businesses (the milk and plunger coffee are the bomb). The rooms are clean and tidy and comfortable . Very reasonable pricing for 3 adults for 2 nights. Very accommodating as we almost had to postpone due to weather I Highly highly recommended to anyone visiting Rotorua ❤️
