“First visit in this Japanese restaurant in the lunch time. We arrived early and few customers were already inside. This is one of the few authentic Japanese cuisine restaurants in town. As you enter, it seems like you are in Japan, great decorations, long bar featuring traditional customs. Food came quickly, we ordered some chicken karage for our chidren, my wife ordered salmon with salad and me lamen. All tasted fantastically nice, soft rice and well seasoned. Owners are Japanese, that explains much of the quality and precision. Looking for another good experience in the future.”

“All I have to say is that it has been years since I've been here and I still think about it from time to time. Their salmon is the best I've had at any restaurant. Genuinely could not recommend more.”

“The idea of Pizza Hut was never appealing until Tuakau branch opened. I can’t even tell you how many times we have ordered from there now and not one pizza has ever been a disappointment! Great pizza and if you are doing a bulk order management will look after you! So call them up to order.”

“A great find, This unassuming little place located near The Wayward Pigeon does an amazing selection of dishes. We loved their take on yum cha share plates. So nice to be able to choose from a great selection of small plates that suit all tastes and appetites. Our group of 6 chose 2 plates each to share. Cost per head very reasonable and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend the beans dish, great for sharing and delicious. We will all be returning to try our new favourites and sample other items from their great menu.”

“I get my coffee here every morning and it's brilliant, the owners are lovely they always know my order and start my morning on a positive note.”

“The generosity of the owner is just unreal. As a Ta walker we were allowed to pitch our tent on the backyard for free. Acces to the bathroom and even the possibility to charge up out stuff overnight. Before we left she even gave us some leftover from the kitchen. Food is amazing. Gotta go there and see for yourself but wish her the best of luck with her beautiful cafe !”

On the plate at Cinnamon, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Ribs and steaks arrive seasoned and tender. Value feels fair for the quality. Takeaway travels well and holds its crunch. Cakes and sc...

“We took our hybrid in to get the drivers door window fixed. It was super easy to get it checked, they found the issues and communicated options and costs with us and fixed it quickly with no problems. We also asked to get a WOF done at the last minute and they took care of it very quickly. Great service and price, we will definitely go back.”

“I love going to the farm market on Sundays when I'm free. I always find new things like cheeses, salami, pastries, relish that are worth trying. There are also several fresh vegetable options at a good price. It's also a good place for coffee in the morning. I always leave with a bag full of healthy ingredients to consume during the week. An important tip is to bring cash. If you forget, you can exchange it there, paying a fee. Some sellers accept cards. There is also live music, which makes the atmosphere more pleasant. The market is inside a covered area and there is plenty of grass outside if you want to bring your pet. You can also find organic vegetables, options gluten free, plants, flowers, cheese, eggs...”

“A very nice Walk along the river , scenic view, easy paveway , good for all ages , not a big park”

“Hayes Paddock is a delightful spot in Hamilton that perfectly balances natural beauty with a touch of local history. The park is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of green space to relax, play, or have a picnic. The walk along the Waikato River is particularly scenic, and the views are simply stunning, especially during sunrise or sunset. What I love most about Hayes Paddock is the sense of community it fosters. The area feels safe and welcoming, with friendly locals and a charming, laid-back atmosphere. The nearby cafes are fantastic for grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat after a leisurely stroll. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Hayes Paddock is a must-visit. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a tranquil setting to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Hamilton. Highly recommend!”

“Birdsong, natural beauty, an easy path, this is a fabulous walk. Perfect bike ride for 5 year olds. Dogs allowed, on leads. Surprises provided by creative maimai and artistic fairy houses. Picnic areas by the main car park and rest seats around the lake, allow us to soak in the views. Loved it.”
