Guests staying at Aura Accommodation can enjoy summer, bathing in the large outdoor geothermal heated swimming pool or fire up the BBQ on a beautiful Rotorua evening. The property is within walking distance of all the central city attractions and local markets on offer.

we loved everything, e g the presence of a pool and barbecue, but especially we loved the extra caring details. The bottle of sun screen by the pool, the bottles of full milk in the fridge, the herbs planted by the barbecue and hangi, the opportunitity to do your own HANGI, the mineral hot pools, the welcome package, the generous pool and spa opening hours, the ECO awareness…. Most of all the wonderful staff and their tips about places to visit and things to do.
