Pukeroa Oruawhata Group approached RCG with a vision to build a luxury spa on Rotorua’s lakefront; a wellness centre which encompasses both Maori culture and Rotorua’s spa heritage. Working together for more than 20 years on various projects including Rotorua Shopping Centre, RCG understands Pukeroa’s vision and values. The challenge was to provide more than just a venue for tourists but to imbed Maori culture throughout the Architecture, branding and concept while acknowledging the special relationship Maori have with hot springs for centuries.
