Boasting a garden, a terrace, and barbecue facilities, The Dome Waikino provides accommodation in Waikino with free WiFi and mountain views. Featuring free private parking, the lodge is in an area where guests can engage in activities such as hiking and cycling. The photos don’t quite do the room justice — it’s actually much more spacious in person. We really enjoyed the peace and greenery. The host was super friendly and even went bush to help us retrieve a lost drone!

Located in Karapiro in the Waikato region and Mystery Creek Events Centre reachable within 28 km, Kauri Lodge Karapiro provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. Shona really made us feel like home. We loved how she spent time to do up so much detailing in her home… the way she arranged the throws and we had the most comfortable stay. There were so many beds that my kids were eager to try a different one each night of our stay.

Boasting a garden and a terrace, The Mann Homestay, Premium King Room with Private Ensuite, Near Waihi & Coromandel provides accommodation in Waihi with free WiFi and mountain views. Featuring free private parking, the lodge is in an area where guests can engage in activities such as hiking and cycling. I felt very comfortable in your accommodation; everything was new and perfectly prepared. The large glass front overlooking the pasture and the mountain range was the most beautiful feature. It’s 5 minutes to Waihi town and to Gold Discovery Center, less than 15 minutes to Karangahake Gorge, to Hauraki Heritage Train, to Waihi Beach, and Bowentown. Hobiton and the route to the Coromandel Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. Next time I’d stay more days.
