Park in Hamilton

“We really enjoyed our time here. The fully fenced and secured play area is perfect for younger children, and the other areas have so much to explore. Our little one really enjoyed the water plays, and we ended spending more time than planned.”

“What a great venue!!! What a great night!!!! Superb service from your hosts making you feel welcome at this top end facility. Will definitely be back.”

“I recently purchased a used car from a car dealer in Auckland. It was having some scary problems with the brakes. The car dealer did a search and found Arn's to do the repair for me. I'm so glad they did, because I am new to the area and didn't have a local repair person yet, and I have found them now. They are very friendly and helpful and do a really great and professional job. They ended up replacing my master cylinder and the car stops perfectly now. Thank you so much. I highly recommend Arn's!”

“Best lash lift and brow shape I’ve had, and so relaxing! Definitely recommend”

“We finally got around to visiting Hobbiton this week and it was well worth the wait and we were very lucky that we had a perfect weather day for it. We were blown away by the whole experience. from arrival in the carpark which is so well laid out, to our departure with Ice Creams in hand, we had a fabulous time. We arrived early, unusual for us, and I'm so glad we did. Check in was easy, no queue. We could relax and enjoy a fabulous meal in the cafe, very generous portions of ingredients in our burger and toastie, while taking in the views of the farmland beyond and soaking up the general happy vibe. We were first in line for our tour, but ended up going on the tour before ours as they had a few spare seats. The tour was fantastic, we enjoyed the video introduction and info about the farm and partnership, while enjoying seeing the rolling green pasture and farm animals outside. Our tour guide was fun and informative, and we progressed at a comfortable pace past the hobbit holes, with plenty of time for photographs and questions. We enjoyed a ginger beer and cider at the Green Dragon Inn before re-joining our guide for the return bus ride. Hobbiton is a magical place, the attention to detail is incredible and we are now inspired to watch the trilogies again.”

“Amazing experience!! I went there with my family and we all felt we stepped into another world! The place is exactly like the movie scenes from Lord of the Rings and we all felt like we were the movie characters, moving through the place. It really is like walking into a fantasy realm, the houses are all so small and looks like only dwarf or smurf can live inside. But surprisingly, they let us visit inside one of the houses and all the movie props were preserved so well! Everything was so lifelike and some of the props such as the cooking pot was shaking and even had steam blowing out. The fire place was real too, with real wood and real fire. At first i thought it was a fake fire made of paper but when i walked over and felt the heat, o realised it was a real fire!! It's definitely a must visit tourist spot, highly recommend!!”

“The team at Total Kitchens was absolutely amazing to work with. As soon as you walk in their doors it’s warm welcoming feeling by all staff. Craig and his design team worked amazingly with our new kitchen design.”

“I love this place, everything is done with great attention to detail. In addition, the veggie sandwich options are great, and the coffee is really good. You are always made to feel welcome. They toast the scones. Awesome.”

“Raglan Roast is by far the best coffee I tried in Hamilton. It’s high quality for an affordable price. The cafe is a very cool environment and has plenty of comfortable seating. As a lover of Melbourne coffee standards, this rates very well.”

“Amazing place! The team here is so passionate about protecting NZ’s native wildlife, and the guided walks are first class. A must-visit if you want to see the beauty of our forests and learn how we can help protect them. I will be back in late spring for sure.”

“My favorite sushi place in Hamilton, fresh food, good selection and nice staff.”

“Great sushi train with plenty of options, love the scallops! Longer opening hours than some restaurants , video taken at 3pm, catering menu looks good too.”

“Awesome vegetarian options. Food came out so quickly and every dish was amazing!!! Wonderful customer service. Thank you!!!”

“This garden is absolutely fabulous. With moving tree limbs and over sized things it’s definitely a step into a world of wonder. The door is very much the big attraction but a few other things looted around the gardens edges that are also over sized makes an equal photo opportunity also”

“Obviously very beautiful place. Only experienced surfers can surf here. Really cool to watch surfers shredding the waves”

“Our local park, got everything you need for a park. Simple and fun, plenty parking spots.”

“Did this on a bike without knowing how nice it was gonna be. Some hills are a bit rough if you haven't hopped on a bike in a decade and the kids pissed you off so much you hired a bike and went for a ride to only realise, you're the problem and go back home with a feed to make up for being impatient. But yeah cool track”

“Never heard about this waterfall before and just spotted it on the way from Tauranga to Auckland. Really cool waterfall. Not huge but still decent size. Went here in winter on a lightly raining day, so there it was not busy at all.”

“We did 6h and 15km hike with in total almost 1km up, starting Lowlevel loop track up to Waipapa Track all the wau upto Pukekohatu and then on the top along Old North-South route and down with Pylon Peak Track. This route only for very fit and experienced. Beautiful small tracks through many different Flora and Fauna. Marked routes but at times hard to found.”

“Great two hour stop. We did the windows walk. This included approximately 100 man made steps. Dark and wet mining tunnels ( bring a light and waterproof shoes). Part of the lower track is closed, so to make it a loop take the Battery track back. We didn't and got to do the 100 steps all over again! Two suspension bridges to cross to get there. One has a lot of bounce! Easy parking with a toilet. Probably a 3 out of 10 on strenuous ( only because of the stairs). Not handicap friendly. Bad knees; beware.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We family of 4 people went to buy vehicle from Taupō to Hamilton and we decided to break for lunch. We read such fabulous 5-star reviews that we thought we would try the Welcome Indian Takeaway Restaurant — and it did not fail us at all! The food was just amazing. For having traveled so far, each of the meals that we had ordered was just full of real flavor — in all seriousness, it was some of the finest Indian food we'd ever had in our whole lives. Nicely prepared, beautifully spiced, totally unforgettable and price is so reasonable which anyone can effort compare to others restaurants. The food was equally impressive. The staff were welcoming, polite. Special mention to Bikash for excellent hospitality service — he made us feel so welcome and proved his excellent hospitality service. If you are in Hamilton or even just passing through, this is an absolute must-visit destination. You will understand why so many people give it 5 out of 5 stars after you have experienced it yourself. We will return, again and again! Krishna Sharma”
