Only 1 1/2 hours drive from Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, Hamilton is a safe, friendly, clean city and a great place for family holidays.

By basing your stay in Hamilton (The holiday hub of the central North Island), you are within a short drive to the pristine beauty of The Coromandel Peninsula, the superb sandy beaches of Mount Maunganui and the "Thermal Wonderland" of Rotorua (The Maori cultural capital of New Zealand), beautiful Lake Taupo (New Zealand's largest lake), or a short trip to see the grandeur of the Waitomo Caves. For those who enjoy surfing, there is the choice of great surfing beaches to the west, at Raglan, or northeast to 'The Mount'.

During the Winter months, visit Whakapapa or Turoa skifields, on the magnificent slopes of Mt Ruapehau, and enjoy a full day's fun in the snow.

Whether you simply wish to take a scenic sightseeing tour around our region, or go bungy jumping, hot air ballooning, jet-boating, cruising, fishing, or a myriad of other pursuits and activities, our region has it all. All this, while basing your stay in Hamilton City, the hub of New Zealand's scenic adventure playground.

WHINCUP UNTOUCHABLE ONCE AGAIN IN HAMILTON

Untouchable Jamie Whincup did it again for the fourth straight race but the emergence of Jim Beam Racing pair James Courtney and Steven Johnson showed he may at least be reachable in the V8 Supercar Championship Series.

TeamVodafone’s Whincup won his fourth successive race with a double at the magnificent Hamilton 400 in New Zealand in front of 123,000 fans over the weekend. Courtney and Johnson were second and third in a great revival for the Jim Beam Racing team.

It extends Whincup’s lead in the Championship to a perfect 600 points from Garry Rogers Motorsport’s Lee Holdsworth 498 and Toll Holden Racing Team’s Will Davison on 483.

Best of the New Zealanders was Fabian Coulthard in fifth today and retains fifth place overall, while Greg Murphy was eighth.

The back-to-back wins in Hamilton was also a remarkable comeback given that Whincup did not even race here last year after a heavy qualifying crash destroyed his car.
