This is a very clean and spacious place to stay in Rotorua (though we did upgrade to a larger room which had fabulous views and a living space). It was very quiet at night (so good for sleeping). The staff were really friendly and helpful and a credit to the hotel. We didn't go into the bar but it looked lovely and seemed very popular.
It's very centrally located so it makes the perfect base from which to explore the city but be aware of the parking charges if you're arriving by car. I'd not hesitate to stay here again though, it's a super modern and clean place to base yourself in this lovely town.

A Volcanic Land of Wonders
Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.
This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.
Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.
More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange.
Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.

This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging.
Lots of things to interest most if not everyone.
Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat

So much to do!
So much to do! It's become the Queenstown of the north island - lots of adventure activities. We did spend a fair bit of money, but we also had a great time, they just need some more good quality restaurants, and better coffee in the township - the best we found was out in the suburbs.
I loved our time there, especially the mountain biking - so fun. People were all friendly and helpful too. Def a gret place to visit, esp if you have tweens / bigger kids.

Rotorua was a great place to visit.
Rotorua was a great place to visit. Mitai Village, Hot beach, waimangu volcano were all interesting places to visit. If you like to hike, the 9 mile hike to hot beach and the hiking trails in the Mokaihaha Ecological area are both great hikes .
Just don't stay at AWA hotel.

As we were only doing a two day stop over to catch up with family and friends, on our way to a wedding, it was just enough to get us time to do these visits and still have time for ourselves. As were not "exploring Rotorua" we did not need extra time. Would recommend at least 4 - 5 days if you are new to the place and want to do all those sights, that Rotorua has to offer.

Rotorua is a nice clean town with plenty of general shopping available. I felt that the tourist attraction were overpriced, but everything was well organized. The vulcanic activities are quite varied and unique.

The accommodation ideal for 3 adults with separate bedrooms:...
The accommodation ideal for 3 adults with separate bedrooms: 1 with a double and a single bed - the other with a double bed, extremely comfortable. staff welcoming, 3 tv's. Room service breakfast which we liked and a the restaurant had a good evening menu selection. we had a jacuzzi and use of the spa bath and whilst the swimming pool was a bit limited for size and depth it was very relaxing. the Pitch and putt was fun and the games room ample size, cooling / relaxing 10 minute walk around the stream was refreshing. the staff are brilliant and i could not fault them - well done
Staff were very polite and helpful, especially the staff at breakfast! They were very busy but always smiling. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and fresh. Options for hot and cold items- meats, eggs, cheeses, danishes, yogurts, juices and fresh fruit. Close location to the shops, Eat Street, Polynesian Spa. Great charm and character for a historic hotel. Our 2 bedroom suite was spacious and had upgraded bathrooms and kitchenette. Very nice toiletries provided.
Really comfy, clean and good sized room (had a small couch which I wasn't expecting). Friendly, accommodating staff. Really liked the spa area. Great setting right on the lake. Excellent value for money especially during the school holidays. A very quiet, relaxing base to explore Rotorua. It's a little tired in areas around the hotel but I think this is reflective of the price and also how difficult the past few years have been for hotels in touristy areas.
The hot pool and thermal Pools were great for the adults to relax as well as for entertaining the kids. The beds were extremely comfortable with extra pillows and blankets. The room was warm with replacement towels every day. Management were extra friendly and welcoming. The room was great for hosting a family on a budget etc. Stove and fridge provided. Overall the stay exceeded my expectations and we had a great time staying.
Clean and good motel - Price we stayed was also not expensive -
We had nice little studios with wooden decor which also felt very warm and nice --parking was very easy right outside the room - everything was great including the location as many shops and restaurants nearby
My family and kids all loved our stay in Routoura and In Tasman holiday park
Sudima Hotel was perfect and the location was excellent as it was next to the lake and Polynesia spa and not too far from the city center. The rooms were alright but it met our expectations as a family. The lounge/ restaurant was excellent and when talking together at night sitting on the couch and drinking the drinks was excellent.
We had a large comfortable room with a balcony. Very new and well decorated. Nice bed. The grounds of the property are beautiful, and the staff is lovely and so helpful. I loved that they were displaying a local artist's work throughout the hotel.
having our own private courtyard with the spa outside the room doors, was more then enough space and beds for my lil family… receptionist / hotel staff / seemed like management was very welcoming and helped us with out any problems!
Beds and linens were very nice. Slept great. Control of room temp was terrific. Nice towels. Very helpful manager and staff. Decent gym for a hotel.
Love the location between the lake and the main strip of restaurants.
Everything. spacious room with beautiful kitchen. the spa in the room was great and the mineral spa was amazing. even fresh coffee was provided in the room.
I’ve stayed in lots of hotels and motels but Aura is one of best!
The hotel was well positioned and fairly central to Rotorua for eateries, shopping etc.
The atrium on arrival was pleasant and staff were smartly dressed.
There was tea making facilties in the room.
Rooms were spacious, clean, and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, there was a lovely wooded walking path near the hotel, and the pool and spa were clean and comfortably warm.
Hotel good but evening buffet meal was very poor. Not what was shown on the menu and vegetables were hard. Also was told to be there by 6 and we didn't eat until 6:40
Excellent facilities, pool was well maintained and open long hours. Best hotel pool in Rotorua.
Buffet breakfast was ok
Lots of seating space around the bar.
The location was great, and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor heated pool. The hotel is very family friendly, and the staff were more than happy to help.
