Hotels With Breakfast in Waikato, New Zealand

We stayed one night en route to Hobbiton and liked it so much that we stayed another 2 later in our trip. Great location, and Cambridge is a relatively easy base to get to other places from. Beautiful decor throughout, nice finishings and really peaceful. It was very busy during our stay (around Christmas/NY) so a little wait for food/drinks but that’s to be expected. We had positive interactions with all hotel and restaurant staff. My only feedback is that the switches in the rooms have blue lights on them, which, for people that like a black-out room, can disrupt sleep. Hopefully an easy fix!

Hotel is trading on its name. Place is in desperate need of an upgrade to rooms and many facilities. No air conditioning to our hotel room, room had a ceiling fan and a cheap pedestal fan. Reasonable breakfast buffet selection, though several hot selections were cold, coffee machine broken and apple juice borderline off. Heated lap pool full of leaves and lot broken and slippery tiles around pool. Room bathroom was very dated and worn. Bed pillows were of poor quality. Rooms not very soundproof. Staff were friendly so no bad reflection on them, it’s down to management and ownership to make this a hotel to miss until significant upgrades, maintenance and improvements are completed. For the price we paid we could have stayed at many other nearby establishments, but chose Wairakei because of its name and perception that it was an upmarket establishment. We were wrong. Would not be rushing back to stay again.

The room is generally good, three beds, can sleep four people. You can see the lake in the distance. There are two Chinese foods in the town, which can be solved, but you must drive across the SH1 road.

The scenery is unique! The eldest brother is also very enthusiastic ~ everything is great! Suitable for bringing children to play ~ swimming pool, it will be very comfortable in summer ~ the surrounding is quiet. If you go, it is recommended to bring more food up the mountain ~ the experience is better

It's 15-20 minutes' drive from Hamilton. The soundproofing of the room is a bit poor, but otherwise it's very good. The taste is online, especially the lady at the front desk is very enthusiastic and friendly.

The room is very unique, but a little small. The breakfast is average. There are three pools in the wild hot spring, which is very artistic. The disadvantage is that the water temperature is a little low. For people who like hot springs, it is not up to standard.

We loved the room which came with a balcony overlooking the beautiful lake Taupo. The grotto and the heated pool were amazing and provided us with a very relaxing stay.

The room was very clean. This charming guesthouse is run by an elderly couple and features a lovely front courtyard. It's incredibly close to the Firefly Cave. The owners even recommended a really popular restaurant nearby where we got a 10% discount.

酒店雖然不大，但環境優美高雅安靜，有恆温泳池，從酒店步行幾步到陶波湖，步行其中，感覺太美了。值得推薦。

The hotel is about 2.5km from the Hamilton train station. We took a taxi from the train station, and the driver charged us NZD25. My booking confirmation said that the check out time was 11:00, but the hotel insisted it should be 10:00 which is fine. The booking confirmation clearly say that breakfast was free, but the hotel tried to charge 13 pp. Hamilton is a nice place which is close to Waitomo and Hobbiton.
