4-Star Hotels in Waikato, New Zealand

Clean and spacious room with a lovely pool, nice breakfast, friendly service, next to the airport but if you drive, it only takes 10 mins to the Hamilton city centre.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “An Unexpected Maze of Delight” If you’re looking for delicious food, sparkling clean rooms, and the kind of hotel layout that makes you question whether you’ve accidentally entered a witness protection program — this is the place for you. Let’s start with the food: Chef’s kiss. I’d drive across three postcodes and two mildly illegal U-turns just to have their breakfast again. The scrambled eggs? Fluffy little clouds of joy. The bacon? So crispy it filed for emancipation. And the dinner? Let’s just say I proposed to my dessert. The room? Immaculate. Clean enough to perform surgery in. I dropped a piece of popcorn behind the bedside table and found absolutely no dust, no suspicious stains, and no mystery hair. 10/10, would snoop again. Now… the layout. Imagine booking a room at a lovely hotel. You check in at the front desk, all smiles and suitcases, and then they hand you a map that looks like it was drawn by a drunk pirate. “Just follow the driveway, take a left at the third bush, go behind the laundry shed, ignore the goats (they’re decorative), and your room is the one just past the third time you question your life choices.” I drove around the back like I was trying to escape from the FBI. Every turn felt like a side quest. I found myself in areas where I wasn’t sure if I was still on hotel property or had entered Narnia. Google Maps gave up. Even Siri was like, “Dude, you’re on your own.” BUT — once I did find my room, it was like discovering a hidden treasure. Peaceful, quiet, with views of a tree that may or may not have judged me. And honestly? It was all part of the charm. You don’t forget a place like this. Would I stay again? Absolutely. I just might drop breadcrumbs next time so I can find my way back.

Welcome was good. The reception staff were friendly and accommodated our request for a river facing room. Overall the service was just okay for it's price. For its price, I feel that parking should be included. A limited parking that can be reserved at $36 was offered when I called in a day before as well as a free parking further down the hotel that is not guaranteed. We availed of the additional $36, this includes a valet service. The hotel room design was as expected of Novotel hotels, but it was not up to it's best standard. The remote control and kettle in our room was dusty. Amenities needed to be requested, I did this in advance during booking. But there were no slippers in the room upon arrival except for the 4 towels requested. Breakfast buffet was just the usual fare.

The scenery is unique! The eldest brother is also very enthusiastic ~ everything is great! Suitable for bringing children to play ~ swimming pool, it will be very comfortable in summer ~ the surrounding is quiet. If you go, it is recommended to bring more food up the mountain ~ the experience is better

Right next to Tomo Bar, the location is very convenient. However, all rooms are built on the mountain, you have to take the stairs to your own room, and if you have a lot of shopkeepers, you will help with your luggage. The store is a very amiable and enthusiastic couple, will give travel advice, will also greet everyone warmly, breakfast is great and very home away from home experience. Going to play cave rafting will also provide towels to us, although Watomo is small, but the human touch is very strong. Next time I come to play, I will stay for a long time ～ Recommend the meal at Tomo restaurant next to it, great!

The motel was in a good location. All of Whitianga's restaurants and a cinema were within walking distance. Unfortunately, no air conditioning. The room was very large with a separate bedroom and living room. There was an additional bed in the living room. However, the bedroom only had a small window, which I found very odd. The small kitchen was quite practical.

We loved our stay at the Hahei Beach Resort! The room was lovely, complete with a private deck looking onto trees where the birds love to share their joie de vivre. Great beach location, wonderful for swimming and walking, fantastic hike up the hill to the lookout. The resort is like a club - very friendly, with camping facilities and a central area with a burger shop, pizza joint, and bar. The pizzas were amazing!!! Hahei town is an easy walk from the resort. Getting out of Hahei to see other Coromandel Peninsula sites requires a bit of a drive, but I think that keeps the town mellow. We would go back in a heartbeat.

For the suite with kitchen, I originally booked a 70-square-meter two-room cottage, but when it came time to tell us that the toilet was broken, we replaced us with a two-bedroom apartment and a studio, not next to each other. Not very happy, so the front desk arranged two adjacent two-bedroom apartments. In fact, we don't need so many rooms, we just want to live in the kind of cabin we booked. But it had no choice but to. Said to be Resort, it is actually the standard of Motel, but the Motel is a little tasteful. It is clean. There are plants and trees in the small yard. It is lovely and comfortable to live, except that the bed is too soft. There are convenience stores, restaurants and fish and chips shops in town when you go out, and you can walk to the beach. I am generally satisfied.

Huge rooms, the biggest I've had in New Zealand, however the room was sparsely furnished so they could have made better use of the space which was effectively wasted. For instance there were no chairs to sit in. A pair of chairs with a side table would really make a difference. Its a historic hotel but very much 'faded grandeur', however I knew when I booked that the hotel wasn't the most modern and that was ok as I wanted that historic feel. It's not everyday that you stay inthe same hotel that Queen Elizabeth did (in 1953). The bed was comfortable, the shower hot (a huge bathroom too) and the staff were helpful. Great location right in the city centre too.
