Hotels With Breakfast in Waikato, New Zealand

The room is generally good, three beds, can sleep four people. You can see the lake in the distance. There are two Chinese foods in the town, which can be solved, but you must drive across the SH1 road.

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.

It is indeed an older MOTEL, but in fact, it is similar to the local ones. The advantage is that the location is very good. It is right by the lake. In the morning, you can see the beautiful scenery of the lake and see the ducks. The service is really hard to say enough. On the day of arrival, around 1 o'clock, I went to the old lady at the front desk and asked to check in. She was rejected without saying anything. The reason was that she felt unwell and had to get off work, so she asked me to go to the front desk of the hotel next door if I had something to do. I asked if there is a room available now? If two elderly people and one child could be given a room to rest first, they would directly refuse and say that there is no room available at the moment. Come back after 3 o'clock and I have to go home from get off work! I was angry but had no choice but to go to the hotel next door. The same problem was reported. The hotel was immediately shocked and apologized, saying how could an old lady treat a customer like this? They immediately gave me a room and upgraded it to a lake view room. It rained heavily the next day and I couldn't go there. It was best to stay in the room and watch the lake view and feed the ducks.

The room was clean and the view spreading in front of me was the best. It looks beautiful to climb the Asahi from the room. Breakfast was delicious.

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!

Initially, we were given room 101, but it was too noisy due to the external air conditioning units facing an inner courtyard of the building. Eventually, Chris moved us to room 412. Even though it was next to the laundry room, it wasn't nearly as loud, and we were finally able to get some rest. The room is very spacious, and the beds are large and comfortable. The shower pressure was fantastic. We had a pleasant stay. Thanks, Chris!

Very convenient location. Good activities for kids. The only thing is that we had a bed with wheels that kinds of tilted but we were quite busy with hije and tired so didn't complaint. But rest were all good. Overall good experience

As we had a glowworm cave tour booked, we decided to stay overnight in Waitomo. The guesthouse was ideally located, with a great restaurant just around the corner, which made dinner very convenient. We stayed in room 40, and the bedroom came with an electric heater. Free parking was also available.

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.

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!
