KIRIKIRIROA HAMILTON
The city of Hamilton is nestled on the banks of the mighty Waikato River and is known for its award-winning Hamilton Gardens, gourmet eateries and colourful street art.
Well-known for its underground wonders, black sand surf beaches and rolling green hills, the region offers a wealth of nature-based activities and attractions surrounding a vibrant city hub.
If you’re a Tolkien fan, head east to Matamata and visit the Hobbiton Movie Set, the amazing Hobbit-sized village created for the movies. Or if surfing is more your style, then Raglan is the perfect spot for you, with one of the longest left-hand breaks in the world.
Whether it be the rolling green hills of Hobbiton, spectacular limestone caves or back sand surf beaches – the Waikato region has something for everyone.
