When is the best time to go to Waikino?

The best time to visit Waikino is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn (November to April), when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. During this period, you'll experience pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 26°C, with less rainfall. This makes it superb for exploring the Karangahake Gorge, walking or cycling the Hauraki Rail Trail, and visiting local attractions like the Victoria Battery. The longer daylight hours also allow for more extensive sightseeing and enjoyment of the natural surroundings. For those planning to spend most of their time outdoors, perhaps hiking, cycling, or enjoying picnics by the river, this is the most comfortable and rewarding time to visit.

All rooms were clean as was the common kitchen and sitting room area. The owners were quite nice as were the other guests. Parking was free. We liked the place as it was very quiet during the night. A place to recommend and revisit if back in the area."

Top Waikino Hotel Reviews

Palm Pacific Resort and Motel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and beds comfortable. Water pressure good but shower very small, hardly room to move. Disappointingly the advertised spa was not available. Staff friendly and helpful."

Morrinsville Motel

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and well appointed. It was an adequate size with a separate bathroom. The place is a little dated but clean and comfortable. The bed was a generous size and was comfortable. Unfortunately we were in the corner unit 1 to the left of the reception area and the outlook was the back of the office with cleaining equipment and rubbish bins. We didn't spend anytime outside so it wasn't an issue but I would recommend requesting a room in the middle of the complex if available. There is a small swimming pool on the property which we didn't use but would be good if travelling in summer with children. There seemed to be plenty of parking, not allocated to particular rooms so just park wherever. Our stay was pleasant and the location is handy to everything. Highly recommend the Redoubt Bar and Grill for dinner down the road, they also do great coffee and cheese scones in the morning."

Lazy Days (at Whangamata)

8/10 Good

"This house is in a great location! So good to be able to walk to the beach and the southern estuary with young kids. The house is split across two levels with the access to each level from external staircases, and is kitted out with well loved furniture. The property itself has a great fenced yard which the kids loved playing in."
