Waikato Region: The name 'Waikato' comes from Maori and translates as 'flowing water'. The beautiful Waikato River runs from Lake Taupo to Port Waikato, a distance of 425km, making it the longest river in New Zealand. It carves its journey through the landscape, and intersects the region's major city, Hamilton, a city of education and scientific research, parks and gardens, fine cuisine and cafes, culture and attractions. Centrally located to Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua, this region is ideal as a base for touring in the North Island. The Waikato region has some of the most productive land in New Zealand, and contains almost 80 percent of New Zealand's geothermal systems. You will have a wide range of accommodation to choose from in this region; luxury hotels, motels, motor inns, holiday parks for campervans and campsites, and backpacker youth hostels.
