"Meticulously clean. Professional friendly staff. Good kitchenette. Was nice to have a private outdoor area. Didn’t love having a disabled shower as water goes everywhere but price was cheaper so good tradeoff. Good location close to lake and town. Would definitely stay again."

If you've left everything to the last minute, you might get lucky. Low prices sometimes appear only weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Waikato travel package include?
From airfares and hotels to car rentals, Expedia can help you shape a Waikato package that's ideal for you. Heading away for a week or two? Give some thought to a rental car, hotel and flight bundle.
