Just across the street from the lake, walkable distance from the rest of the town, super friendly hosts and exceptional property. It had literally everything we needed for a family of 3, and especially loved the bathroom with the heater and great amenities.

Taupo is much better visited outside of the busy periods (school holidays). When there's less traffic and you can get around without issue and finding a carpark is more likely. So much to see and do and many amazing restaurants. Wairakei is also only up the road and there are many geothermal attractions within a short driving distance.Guest review byDinhfamilyNew Zealand - 8.0

Hamilton is great in terms of the distance to all the main attractions however there is a dearth of facilities near by the airport and too expensive transportation. Flying from Hamilton airport is so smooth and easy.Guest review byShivaAustralia - 10.0

Everything was exceptional. Dinner was delicious. Staff were very nice & helpful.. We have stayed here previously. Our bed was comfy. Our room was nice & clean. Will stay again . Maria & Carl.Guest review byMariaNew Zealand - 10.0
Whitianga is a very picturesque place.
Whitianga is a very picturesque place. There’s a beautiful long beach, green countryside and mountains surrounding the area. The town is a decent size with everything you might need. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from and the real fruit ice cream is superb. The staff member at the information centre is brilliant. A little ferry takes you to another area but beware of the hike to the top of the hill- it gets very challenging! I went on a two hour boat trip which was fabulous.Guest review byKerrieAustralia - 10.0

Cambridge is the most well laid out town centre, with easy free parking, respectful drivers of pedestrians on crossings. It has a great variety of cafes, restaurants and shopping for all ages. My number one town to visitGuest review byTrudiNew Zealand - 8.0

The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10. Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great. Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok. Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.Guest review byVickiNew Zealand - 10.0

The food was great everywhere we went ,shopping was great and we booked the sunset cruise for Saturday evening that was awesome which took us around the inner harbour with a guide who was a local telling us the history of the areaGuest review byTheresa HuntNew Zealand - 10.0
My first trip was 45 years ago.
My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.Guest review byLuisaAustralia - 10.0
We loved it.
We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some pointGuest review byLyndaNew Zealand
