Hotels With Bar in Waikato, New Zealand

This historic hotel, while having somewhat outdated facilities and no phone charging stations, boasts excellent service and food 👍. A nine-hole golf course is right in front, free for hotel guests. Just inside the forest are the hotel's three hot spring pools, each with a different temperature! After a relaxing soak, you can enjoy a wonderful night's sleep!

A tiny motel, has basic amenities. Didn't know there's a communal kitchen until we were leaving. It's a good stop over point, but most of the town closes either early or has long weekends, so make sure you have supplies beforehand. When we arrived there there was no reception, had a number and person to ring, the entrance is a bit tricky ”around the back”...yep that's exactly what it is.

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!

Check in was smooth and quick but changed room twice to get everything right. Our first room had urine stains on the toilet, which means this room was not properly cleaned up. That was terribly disgusting to find these spots. Also, the smart TV in the first room didn't work. Our second room was find but has no bathtub as requested. Changed to the third room and finally get the okay one with great AC, working TV and cleanness. It was our first time stayed in a 5-star hotel in NZ and was surprised the standard is quite low compared to the other 5 stars in Asia. Has small heated pool accommodating 6 people max. Swimming pool and sauna were fine but steam room didn't work. Service okay and great breakfast. Will consider the other place next time.

We loved everything about the stay. The owner/manager served us enthusiastically. The food is consistently of a high standard and a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience. The staff go above and beyond cheerfully. Since finding Hidden Lake Hotel, we have not stayed anywhere else when travelling from Auckland to Taupo via Cambridge and intend to spend more time there in future.

Perfect for a short stay in Hamilton. Not the most luxurious but comfortable beds and great pressure in the showers. Plenty of places to eat and drink in the vicinity. Just don’t forget to book a parking space before you arrive!

They are all very good. It would be perfect if they had a private bathroom. However, this is the only room we can book in that area, so we are very grateful!

There was no shower gel upon arrival, rather than housekeeping delivering it to our villa, we were asked to walk around 500 to 800m to collect it from reception. The other single bed was a trundler bed which was underneth. There should have been signs, we only discovered on the 2nd night so spent 1 night sleeping in the sofa. The villa had a kitchen and laundry facilities so was pretty convenient for our stay.

Was a good one... It was a pleasant trip I had. The location of the hotel was good too. Super friendly staff and good hotel. Will definitely come back again. Breakfast was really impressive. The only sad thing would be.... Super limited parking

Very clean, comfortable beds, car parking can be a challenge, reception staff are great.
