Located in Mangakino in the Waikato region, Lake Maraetai Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

A sun terrace can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge.

Taupo Airport is 61 km away. Big open shared spaces made it easy to navigate. All of the amenities were new or great condition. The bedroom had all we needed and the shared bathroom spaces were modern and very clean.

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!

Featuring garden views, Wairua Lodge - Rainforest River Retreat in Whitianga features accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace, water sports facilities and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Perfect place to stay! Best accomodation we had, not only on the North Island but in total during our 5 weeks NZ trip on both islands! The room was nicely furnitured, the amenities around were awesome - Swiss firering for BBQ with free Marshmallows, a jaccuzi to watch the stars at night, a Treetop bath-house with rainforrest view, a couple of nice and exciting walks through the rainforest, natural pools in the river and even glowworms at night. The pictures don't lie - reality is even better! And for those who still wanted to leave the premises during their stay (which would not be necessary as you've literally got everthing there already to spend some relaxing days), they also borrow spades to dig holes in the Hot water beach and also had some great recommendations on what to do when. Will definitely book again if we're in the area!

Located in Waihi in the Waikato region, The Mann Homestay, Premium King Room with Private Ensuite, Near Waihi & Coromandel provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub. 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.

Featuring mountain views, Highland Lodge in Waikino features accommodation, a garden and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries in each unit, along with bathrobes.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast. This property is "off grid" ie no wifi and no mobile reception. We had not registered this, and had to delay our catch up with work. However once we got our heads around it, we loved it. Good for the soul.
