Sustainability

Sustainability is an important part of the dining experience at Nikau. As part of Millennium Hotel Rotorua, we are committed to supporting local producers, reducing food miles where possible and celebrating ingredients grown close to home.

We proudly partner with regional suppliers and incorporate herbs, citrus and seasonal produce grown within the hotel grounds into our menus whenever possible.

For us, great food starts with great ingredients and a strong connection to our local community.
