About Waikato, New Zealand

Don’t be misled by the symbolic cowbells – there is more to the Waikato than dairy farming. Even tea grows here!

From the superb public gardens of Hamilton to the spellbinding magic of the caves of Waitomo, be prepared to be entranced by this lovely region.

For fans of the Tolkein stories and the movies based on them - Lord of The Rings and the Hobbit – be sure to take in the town of Matamata and visit the Hobbiton movie set.

To the west, take in the surf beaches and sunsets of Raglan and the history of Kawhia if you can.

A visit to the caves at Waitomo should feature on your itinerary too. The magnificent stalactites and stalagmites will amaze you. The crowning glory is the spectacular glow worm cave!

The Waikato has many sporting attractions too, with New Zealand rowing being centred on Lake Karapiro and cycling at Cambridge. Mountain biking opportunities abound too.

Here is our selection of Lake Karapiro B&B's

Kauri Lodge

Cambridge

We are 13kms from Cambridge. Close to other towns & cities.

We are close to Lake Karapiro, home of our Olympic Rowers, and also popular for water skiing, swimming, kayaking, jet-boating, river cruises and fishing. It is a short drive from Kauri Lodge to Hobbiton of the "Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
An approximate one hour drive takes you to the famous Waitomo Caves, Raglan beach on the west coast, Mt Maunganui on the east coast, or to Rotorua with it's abundance of attractions & Maori culture.
The Kauri Lodge Apartment has two bedrooms, one furnished with a queen and a single bed and the other with a king and a single, plus there is a single bed in the lounge. It includes your own private guest lounge and dining area, plus kitchen facilities. While enjoying the view and relaxing, you can have a private BBQ, quiet conversation and drinks on the deck. A short walk can take you to our plantation of native Kauri trees or around the farm if organised with the owners.
The Studio Unit has a queen and a single bed, with plenty of room for another bed, plus a kitchen. This unit is about 100 metres from the main house but it also has amazing views from all the windows and deck.
Nearby, our beautiful “town of trees” Cambridge, has many attractions including cafes and restaurants. It is now the home of cycling in New Zealand, after the completion of our new Avanti Velodrome. Cambridge is also the equine capital of New Zealand, where many famous horses have been bred and trained.
