Boasting a garden, a terrace, and barbecue facilities, The Dome Waikino provides accommodation in Waikino with free WiFi and mountain views. Featuring free private parking, the lodge is in an area where guests can engage in activities such as hiking and cycling. The photos don’t quite do the room justice — it’s actually much more spacious in person. We really enjoyed the peace and greenery. The host was super friendly and even went bush to help us retrieve a lost drone!

Featuring mountain views, Highland Lodge in Waikino features accommodation, a garden and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries in each unit, along with bathrobes.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast. Max is a great host, but it sounds like his boss drives him pretty hard,(he probably needs the structure). Lovely home with comfortable rooms overlooking a beautiful setting. It's a little slice of heaven.

The lodge features a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with a fridge, a dishwasher and a microwave and there is shower with free toiletries and a hairdryer.

Mystery Creek Events Centre is 45 km from the lodge, while Garden Place Hamilton is 27 km away. Hamilton Airport is 35 km from the property. The bed and daybed were very comfortable. Loved the added touch of a continental breakfast being supplied. We chose this place for the scenery because there was a walk on the doorstep, it didn't disappoint. The walk by the river and through the trees is lovely it's about a 2k round trip. You can cool off in the river. We found 2 really clear shallow spots. Mary is a lovely host, and we actually could have spent the day chatting to her. We will definitely be back.
