Hamilton Holidays

Hamilton at a Glance

Located just over an hour away from Auckland lies New Zealand’s fourth-largest city, Hamilton. An attractive city on the western side of North Island, on the banks of the Waikato River, Hamilton is surrounded by green parks, which add to the pleasant vibe.

Explore Hamilton

• Take a picnic to peaceful Hamilton Gardens, one of many green spaces in Hamilton, and soak up the sunshine. Looking for more sun? Then head to Gisborne City one of the sunniest cities on the North Island.
• Go on a paddle-steamer trip on the river and enjoy the stunning landscape of the city and surrounding area from the water.
• Marvel at the views of Lake Karapin, the Waikato River and the surrounding green farmland of the Waikato region from the air on a hot air balloon ride.
• Head to the coast for surfing and seafood at nearby Raglan or travel further afield to New Plymouth for its surf beaches and wonderful contemporary art gallery.
• Mount Taranaki and the Egmont National Park are within travelling distance for walking and hiking.

Why a Holiday to Hamilton?

• Explore King Country to the south of Waikato and stop off at the Waitomo Caves to see glow-worm filled caverns and interesting rock formations. New Zealand is Lord of the Rings country and in Matamata, to the east of Hamilton, you will find the movie set of Hobbiton from the blockbuster films.

• New Zealand is renowned for its spectacular scenery and outdoor pursuits, and a holiday to Hamilton is no exception. From your base in the city you can enjoy all that Hamilton has to offer before heading out into the countryside. Have a go at kayaking, fishing or rowing on the river or try surfing and kite-surfing on the coast at Raglan. There are plenty of opportunities to walk, hike or cycle in and around Hamilton, with both easy riverside walks and challenging mountain trails to follow.

• Back in Hamilton spend the afternoon at the Museum of Art and History, before exploring the city’s boutique shops and weekend markets, as well as its wine bars, cafes and restaurants, serving everything from local Kiwi dishes to Asian and Mediterranean inspired menus. The student population in Hamilton ensures that the nightlife is good so after dark head to Diggers, a lively place particularly on the weekends with a good atmosphere and live music on Sundays.
