It's a lovely place to stay. The room is clean and spacious. The location is between Auckland and Rotorua that is suitable to stay one night to unwind and join the hobbiton movie set tour next day. The dinner and breakfast are yummy.

Last minute stay at Ventura Inn was lovely. I was surprised to get a suite so that really exceeded my expectations. Basically it was a one bedroom apartment with all the amenities and comforts. Nice kitchen, big screen TV in the living room, large bed that was very comfortable, and windows that let in a lot of sunlight. Location was great- just a short walk to the main city center. Free parking on site too. Staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay very much. Definitely recommend.

We had a specific purpose other than tourism for our stay. Being of an older generation we found Taupo rather busy and the traffic layout excessive, but then others no doubt find it quite acceptable.

The lake and the riverside walks are great places to spend time, and the Botanic Gardens and Hamilton Zoo are perfect for family day trips. Lots of shopping options if you are that way inclined. Convenient to other scenic spots around the Waikato region such as Hobbiton, Lake Kainui, Pirongia, and many more.

The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10. Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great. Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok. Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

We loved it.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
