Horotiu is a peaceful, semi-rural gem perfectly positioned between Hamilton and Ngāruawāhia – offering the best of both worlds: tranquillity and convenience. Guests love the open space, fresh air, and laid-back vibe, all while being just a short drive from city amenities and local attractions. We’re located just off the expressway, making it easy to access Hamilton City, The Base Shopping Centre (one of the largest in NZ), and beautiful river walks along Te Awa Cycleway. For those interested in cultural experiences, the iconic Turangawaewae Marae is nearby, and Ngāruawāhia often hosts kapa haka events and local markets full of kai and crafts. Adventure seekers and whānau can enjoy a trip to the Hamilton Zoo, Waterworld, or hop over to Raglan for a beach day. You’ll also find golf courses, bush walks, and great local eateries all within easy reach. Whether you're here to explore, relax, or reconnect, Horotiu is a welcoming place to pause and enjoy a true slice of Aotearoa.
