The hostesses were what made our stay awesome! They were incredibly kind and helpful and provided everything we needed. The location was great in terms of walking to the town centre and the trails. Our family of 4 were comfortable with the accommodation and enjoyed the mineral pools onsite.

We stayed for 1 night in Dec 2024. The place is clean and very cute. One of the top places we stayed so far on our Australia and NZ tour.

Aura was great. Fantastic pool and the room gave us the space and beds that my family needed. Highly recommend.
3-night trip

10/10

Though it clearly is a bit run down, especially in the geothermal rooms, and some of the space is tight, we enjoyed the enthusiasm of the welcome, the convenience of the location, and the outdoor pool. We were very happy that they were so invested in recycling!
2-night trip

10/10

We just returned home (Arizona) from a fantastic 6 week journey visiting Australia and NZ. The Aura accommodations were fine..great location and the spa was a treat at night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The one constructive comment would be for the room to be updated for today’s expectations or needs, ie, USB ports, fresh paint, new carpet, etc.
3-night trip

10/10

Really enjoyed our stay. Rooms were well-equipped and comfortable, and staff was super friendly and helpful. The mineral bath was a bit dated, but they’re planning on some renovation, and in spite of its age, the mineral bath was clean and comfortable. Appreciated their commitment to conservation, sustainability and local sourcing, all done without sounding preachy. Really a very fun visit. Would definitely stay there again.

Very communicative staff. Loved all the nearby places they highlighted on their map and welcome packet. Location is excellent and well maintained room.

Good motel style accommodation with hot outdoor swimming pool. Close to a variety of eating places. Lots of attention to environmental issues and support for local charities. Shame the outside metal stairs are noisy, especially at night, but this is an issue not unique to this property.

Travelled with kids. Pool was under repair. Was not told they had a 'sister' property with working pool til we were almost ready to leave. Trampoline was nice.

The staff are amazing! They know Rotarua realky well and all of the best places to see and adventurous things to do. They were really helpful at rearranging our white water rafting before the river closed.

Great stay. I arrived late and the key was in a noticeable place. Great property with the friendliest people - both in front office and housekeeping. I stayed in two different rooms. Unfortunately, I found random black hairs in both of them when I first arrived. Wifi is fantastic - and that was crucial for my stay, as an entrepreneur.

10/10

Aura is clearly a well-loved and cared-for property. I liked the idea of staying someplace that wasn't a big property but would be safe and clean. The staff was so kind and welcoming. The property itself was quiet and is very near the water, so it's a block or two outside of Rotorua noise and traffic. It was easy to walk to grocery stores and such. Parking - dedicated spot for each room so easy. The pool area is a bit smaller than the photo shows but still looked nice. We were in Room 10, which has its own little patio area and hot tub - the hot tub was in great condition and very clean, as was the rest of the room and amenities. We cooked dinner a couple nights and the little kitchen was well-stocked; they provided dish detergent as well. We did laundry ($4 for each washer or dryer load) and the machines worked well. We'd recommend Aura and would stay here again.
