Hotels met Breakfast in Waikato, New Zealand

We loved everything about the stay. The owner/manager served us enthusiastically. The food is consistently of a high standard and a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience. The staff go above and beyond cheerfully. Since finding Hidden Lake Hotel, we have not stayed anywhere else when travelling from Auckland to Taupo via Cambridge and intend to spend more time there in future.

A hostel style accommodation. But we booked a room with En-suite toilet. Check in was easy. Rooms were clean. Found the beds way too soft but was okay for 1 night. A good place to stay if you have an early morning cave activities the next day.

Location is central and great. Parking is a bit of luck as reserved places are very limited, but street parking is abundant in the area. No real complaints, but the facility is quite dated. The shower booth reflected this, for example, with a leaky swivel head the sprayed water unevenly. Good for short term stays where you need a central base. Probably not my first choice if you want to lounge around in your room.

Beautiful bed and breakfast located in a quiet area of Waitomo. The rooms are well appointed, shared spaces are kept clean by responsible and respectful guests. Overall a welcoming and pleasant stay.

Was a good one... It was a pleasant trip I had. The location of the hotel was good too. Super friendly staff and good hotel. Will definitely come back again. Breakfast was really impressive. The only sad thing would be.... Super limited parking

酒店位置特別好，雖然房間設施可能差一點，但是性價比沒得説算特別合適的，希望下次有機會在來體驗一下這家

Fantastic view of the water. We had a quiet evening relaxing on the patio listening to the sounds of nature. The place had everything we needed to make breakfast in the morning, and the electric blankets helped warm the beds up nicely.

The hotel is about 2.5km from the Hamilton train station. We took a taxi from the train station, and the driver charged us NZD25. My booking confirmation said that the check out time was 11:00, but the hotel insisted it should be 10:00 which is fine. The booking confirmation clearly say that breakfast was free, but the hotel tried to charge 13 pp. Hamilton is a nice place which is close to Waitomo and Hobbiton.

We loved the room which came with a balcony overlooking the beautiful lake Taupo. The grotto and the heated pool were amazing and provided us with a very relaxing stay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Comfortable, Clean, and Great for a Short Stay This isn’t a fancy or high-end hotel, but it’s definitely a great place to spend a couple of nights—especially if you’re visiting Rotorua and Taupō. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which is really all you need for a short stay when you’re out exploring most of the day. Don’t expect 5-star facilities or luxury features, but the overall experience is solid and very safe too. The stay was pleasant, the environment was tidy, and it offered good value for money. A reliable and convenient option for travellers passing through or wanting a simple base to explore the area.
