Boasting a garden, a terrace, and barbecue facilities, The Dome Waikino provides accommodation in Waikino with free WiFi and mountain views. Featuring free private parking, the lodge is in an area where guests can engage in activities such as hiking and cycling. The photos don’t quite do the room justice — it’s actually much more spacious in person. We really enjoyed the peace and greenery. The host was super friendly and even went bush to help us retrieve a lost drone!

Located in Whangamata, 1.9 km from Whangamata Beach, Amazing Kiwi Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with an outdoor swimming pool. The accommodation features a hot tub. The studio unit was private but has good access to the owner's facilities like the spa and the pool. We were given a BBQ set for our cooking in front of the unit, which was just great! The surroundings have a mature and immaculate garden. Claire and Ralph were welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend my friends to stay here at Whangamata.

Located in Karapiro in the Waikato region and Mystery Creek Events Centre reachable within 28 km, Kauri Lodge Karapiro provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. Shona really made us feel like home. We loved how she spent time to do up so much detailing in her home… the way she arranged the throws and we had the most comfortable stay. There were so many beds that my kids were eager to try a different one each night of our stay.
