We had a great time in Hamilton. This place was a short drive to everything we wanted to do in the city. We went to the gardens, walked along the river, explored downtown, and went to a rugby tournament all within 10 mins. It was also well situated for day trips to nearby towns such as surfing in Raglan, glow-worm caves in Waikato, and a tour of Hobbiton. The kids enjoyed kicking the rugby ball around the big backyard. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in town.
