| Waikato / Hamilton |
 |
The Waikato is a region of lush green hills, bush and farmland, with exceptional surf on the West coast. The beautiful Waikato River carves its journey through the landscapes, and intersects the region's hub, Hamilton - a city of education and scientific research, parks and gardens, fine cuisine and cafés, culture and attractions.
Throughout the region discover bush-clad mountains, stunning waterfalls, hot mineral pools, beaches and of course, the magical limestone glowworm caves in Waitomo. Travel off the beaten track for more memorable views and experiences. Charming small towns are dotted throughout the region, each one with its own specialities.
Centrally located approximately 90 minutes from Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua, the region can be a base for any holiday in the Central North Island. Take your time to relax and meet the local people.
