Your Riverside Getaway
Set on the banks of theWaikato River, Hamilton is known as a picturesque escape with scenic riverside walks and boat cruises. From its established eateries and various pristine gardens to the vibrant nightscene you won’t be short of activities. With so much to see and do in Hamilton, hiring a car will help you get around from place to place with ease.
Travel through time while exploring the Hamilton Gardens with its rich history and gallery themed gardens. Don’t miss the Renaissance Italy Garden, the traditional Maori inspired gardens, or the Sung Dynasty Chinese Scholar’s garden. With such stunning displays, it’s no surprise that Hamilton Gardens is Waikato’s most visited attraction.
Drive down Hood or Victoria Street to discover the bustling hubs of cafes, restaurants and bars Hamilton has to offer. A few of the best restaurants and cafes to explore include:
- Scotts Epicurean – Winning a series of top awards every year since 2000, Scotts Epicurean has established itself as Hamilton’s most affluent café-restaurant. Be sure to try the renowned aglio oli (spaghetti). Location: 181 Victoria St, Hamilton, New Zealand
- Three Leg Frog – A Beijing-meets-New York contemporary feel. The venue provides a pleasant point of difference and superb food to match (the sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style is a must). Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, there are plenty of opportunities to visit. Location: 236 Victoria Street, Hamilton, New Zealand
- River Kitchen – having perfected coffee, cakes and gourmet breakfast dishes, you can’t go to Hamilton and pass up a meal at River Kitchen. Be sure to get there before their 2pm closing time. Location: 237 Victoria St, Hamilton, New Zealand
If you’re looking to cuddle a furry creature while visiting New Zealand, then look no further – the Hamilton Zoo hosts over 600 native and exotic animals amongst the 25 hectares of lush, tranquil surrounds.
