Excellent spacious hotel room right at Hamilton airport with everything needed for a one night stay. The staff were very welcoming and as this was my fist time staying at Jet Park Hamilton airport, they explained the facilities of the hotel. I arrived after 5.00pm and the heat pump was turned on to warm the room which was a welcome touch. Great bathroom facilities, and the room was very clean and well presented. I would definitely stay again.

    We had an amazing meal at Embra - top class.

    We had an amazing meal at Embra - top class. Also a good meal at Lionels on the lakefront. We walked along the Lions walk which runs along the side of the lake then went shopping in town. We were lucky with the weather, being a freezing cold overnight temperatures but stunning sunny blue sky days. We enjoyed a beautiful soak in the Wairakei Thermal Terraces one day and I thrashed my husband at minigolf the next. So all in all it was a great place to stay. There are plenty of adventure activities to do for families and of course it is only about an hour to the snowfields of Ruaphehu. A fantastic destination

    Turangi is a beautiful, scenic location and the people are very welcoming and friendly. We were impressed by the service and choices at the Hydro Cafe, the Flytackle shop and the NZ Post shop. We also enjoyed the Pihanga Gallery showcasing local art and crafts and a delicious Italian meal at Valentinos. It was beautiful in late autumn and we'll visit again.

    Cambridge is a beautiful town. Growing larger but retains its lovely main street with good angle parking and a roomy pull out lane. Love the many shops and good places to eat. Many side streets to explore and the lake is a beautiful place for a walk.

    Whitianga is a lovely town and felt more relaxed than Whangamata but had all the facilities you would need. The coastline around the area is just ridiculously beautiful. Whitianga was a great base to explore from. I would happily go for another visit.

    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.

    Town's friendliness. The town cat, Helen Clark. The main hotel, pub with its history and well priced Aperol Spritz. The 2 restaurants we went to plus the fish and chip shop. The nearby secluded bays and beaches. The train up the hill.

    We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Experience Waitomo Caves and it was amazing! Our guides, Garret & Alicia, were fun, helpful, informative, and made sure were were safe in the cave & the water; this is is a must do! They take pictures for you because it would be impossible to float in a tube & take pictures yourself.
