It's a lovely place to stay. The room is clean and spacious. The location is between Auckland and Rotorua that is suitable to stay one night to unwind and join the hobbiton movie set tour next day. The dinner and breakfast are yummy.

Everything. Beautiful quaint charm, lovely designed lodge, peaceful location, incredible service and hospitality. The onsite chef is devine and the nicest person. The spa massage was one of the best I’ve had. The owner shared about his culture, family, special meaning of the property and even tribal wine. All in all if I could give this property a 20 out of 10 I would!

We had a fantastic experience at Heartland Hotel Hamilton! The room was great, and check-in was quick and easy. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as dish soap and a sponge, and the comfort of having an iron, cups, and spoons for each of us. When I reported an issue with my daughter having an accident despite wearing a diaper, the staff responded quickly and handled it perfectly. The hot jacuzzi next to the freezing pool was a fantastic bonus. I had seen ads for wooden barrel jacuzzis, but this one was included with the room, making it even better. It was incredibly relaxing after a long day. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it!

    My first trip was 45 years ago.

    My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.
