We were very happy that they were so invested in recycling! ##### Debbie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Dave Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Oct 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Antonia Nov 25, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Antonia Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly place 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EMILY Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### EMILY Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luke Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Luke Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities C’est un endroit central près de tous les attraits.
