Ibis Hamilton Tainui offers easy access to river walkways, cafes and restaurants. The property is 600 metres from Hamilton Museum and 5 minutes' drive from Hamilton Lake. As always the Ibis breakfast is first rate. Good coffee, fruit, eggs, bacon, or sausage, three different kinds of juice and all sorts of gluten free offers. Loved how they had full fat milk fresh from a bottle for my long black coffee. We could even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the river. The staff were helpful and friendly, of course.

Situated 6.9 km from Waikato Stadium, Makepeace Place Homestay offers 3-star accommodation in Hamilton and has a garden. This homestay features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The accommodation provides room service and dry cleaning services for guests. It was cheap but I love the peace and quiet. Had a good sleep. The only thing that woke me up are the birds chirping. Damn those birds. The linen are clean. They smell like they were ironed.
