Meeting Newz November / December 2022

When you come to Rotorua, chances are you’ll meet some of our original hosts from way back. They’re among the best advocates for Rotorua – they love this place and they love sharing what makes our city awesome. It won’t take long for you to see, hear and feel their passion, enthusiasm, sincerity and warmth, and it won’t be long before you realise Rotorua offers a deeper experience than anywhere else in Aotearoa. Meet Joelene Elliott. As she puts it, you can often hear her before you see her. Bright and smiley, outgoing with an unmistakable laugh. When asked what Rotorua offers, she says authenticity is at the heart of it, in terms of our approach from a business perspective. “Being authentic, that’s how I like to conduct myself when I’m talking to people. It’s that genuine care for what the client is wanting to achieve.” Takurua (Tak) Mutu, like a number of our originals, is a Rotorua man through and through. His traditional Māori upbringing, life story, and experiences, from early childhood to purchasing a luxury tour business when he was 25, have set him up with the skills and passion to show people the very best of Rotorua.
