Waihi Ski Resorts

Grafton Cottage was so fantastic we changed our stay from 1 night to 3 nights after the first night. Albie (owner) is very personable and accommodating - just basically lovely. The chalet we had our first night was a cute bedsit and had a good view out over the bay. Full cooking facilities, lots of hot water and a spa & pool right by the door. After the first night we loved it so much we asked Albie if we could stay another 2 nights and he had a 2 story chalet free for us which he only charged the bedsit price. The view was even better. We spent 2 days sipping beer in the spa and reading as rain rolled over the bay - snug and warm and comfortable. We were on a bicycling trip and were able to securely store our bikes in the garage onsite and Albie ran us into town one night (rainy and cold) to go to dinner free of charge. We will definately stay there again and would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere in the Thames area.

This place is immaculate. It is easy to feel ‘at home’ straight away. Everything we needed was there and the hosts were very helpful. Close to town and also to the lake. Waihi beach less than 10 minutes away and others not much further. The Hauraki Rail Trail so close. It was quiet and all in all, a great place to stay.

Property is excellent location, enjoyed the walk around the mountain, dinner was excellent and walkable. Resort was dated, but comfortable enough.

Very nice

Loved the location of the Atrium Apartments - we were handy to boardwalks, parks, cafes and beach. The Atrium itself is an amazing complex - it was very quiet even though it was almost fully booked. Has a private gym, outdoor pool and sauna room. The room we had was on the 5th level and the views were stunning. The room had everything we needed including a washing machine and dryer and the products needed. Also had a dishwasher and fully equipped kitchen. Definitely recommend the Atrium Apartments. Thank you for the stay.

Awesome
