This was a classic comfortable lodge nearby the CBD (small as the town is). The staff also had helpful suggestions on where to eat and check-out was easy. Be sure to note the reception hours for check-in, as (if recollection serves) they close by 7pm.

Great venue as a base for lots of locations.

Comfortable venue and patient/gracious hosts: we arrived later than ideal, but the team were very friendly and understanding. A good place to stay in Waihi as a base to explore Waikato or to head to Bay of Plenty or the Coromandel. Would recommend.
