We had a wonderful stay at Aura Accommodation. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the warm welcome and friendly hospitality made us feel comfortable right away. One of the highlights was our beautiful room with a lovely view of Lake Rotorua. Waking up to the peaceful lake scenery each morning made our stay even more memorable. We also appreciated that our room was serviced while we were out enjoying an early morning activity. It was so nice to return to a clean and tidy room after a busy day. The excellent service, comfortable accommodation, and great location made our family trip truly enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Aura Accommodation to anyone visiting Rotorua.

Aura is a beautiful place and I felt genuinely welcomed on arrival. The rooms are lovely, with comfortable beds and handy cooking facilities. Laundry is available on site for just $4 a load, and there’s a great bike wash area too. The amazing mineral pools and outdoor pool are real highlights, along with a BBQ and compost bin. It’s clear they really value the environment, which I loved. I originally booked 2 nights but was so impressed I added another night! Highly recommended – a relaxing and eco-friendly stay.
