Aura Accommodation

Aura is just that little bit special. Take a couple of kiwi school mates, a tired motel and a belief that accommodation can be so much more than providing a clean room and good service. Formerly the Havana Motor Lodge, the place has undergone a dramatic transformation to inject new life, energy and atmosphere. The place is just as much about that journey as it is about the relaxed and personalized kiwi hospitality, the fun fit out, environmental initiatives and the opportunity to connect guests with all the best of the local region and culture. Aura is all about connection. Located in the central city, just one block from the newly developed lakefront, Government Gardens, Museum and the famous ‘Eat Streat’, Aura is perfect spot to explore all the central city attractions, and fantastic markets on offer by foot or free bikes and scooters available. The geothermally heated outdoor pool, proves a hit all year around to bathe and meet other travellers, or soak away in the 2 private mineral pools. The BBQ area is the perfect spot for socialising, and the geothermal steam box adds a uniquely Rotorua cooking experience.
