We had a very enjoyable trip yesterday cruising the Waikato River. Friendly staff, lovely lunch and on board commentary was very informative and interesting. Thank you. Would definitely recommend this experience.
The bbq was so delicious!!!! Thanks guys really enjoyed our time
Thank you for the experience on the waikato explorer
On this sunny afternoon I so enjoyed the cruise up from the Wharf at Hamilton Gardens. A cafe on board. Relaxing music. Friendly crew and Captain/ Owner to chat to.
Friendly staff and a peaceful journey on the river
Me and my partner ended up being the only ones on the cruise and it was super heavy rain that day which made it that much more special. Our host and captain were really nice and easy to talk to, also the brownie and the toastier was amazing, will definitely go back again
Excellent all round, From welcoming, service to commentary
The river cruise was the only thing we hadn't done in Hamilton and I am so glad we finally did it. It was so relaxing, we learnt about the history of Hamilton. The food and drinks on board were well priced and what we had was delish. Try the kids vege Nachos!
So much fun. . .had the best day ever
After our original party venue was cancelled due to rain, we jumped online and found Blastacars. The whole event from booking online, phoning to add 2 more kids, the friendly staff, entertaining briefing and 10 teens drifting for 20 mins went smoothly! Thanks team we will be back!
Ordered eye fillet, Mac n cheese with pulled pork and cheeseburger. Great taste, we enjoyed our meal! Loved interior as well.
What an amazing experience dining at Hood St Bistro. Gorgeous setting, humble and relaxed atmosphere, staff were super friendly and welcoming and the food was AMAZING! The beef burger and the fried chicken tacos literally made me happy dance! The flavours were amazing. Highly recommend stopping in and trying their delicious menu! We will be back to try the dinner menu soon!
Ordered the tapas and loaded wedges. All plates were delicious with huge portions and the serving lady was very kind. Would definitely dine again!
My son wanted to see what Hamilton had to offer. Service was great. Was a hot day, rooms were air conditioned. Didn't quite make the time. But thoroughly enjoyed out time there. We will be back. Thanks ladies. Otautahi crew.
Kids had so much fun!!!! Good vibe helpful team and lots of fun to be had will defs go back again
Very lovely place to be for fun
Recommend. There are three room available which fancy light
We had an amazing time here in jan 2022 for a birthday so we came back again in september😊 although the morning slots should be changed to from 10am to 10.15am (because the say to check in 15 minutes before your session and they dont open till 10am on the dont so you can not check in at 9.45) Besides the the staff are lovely the place is clean and it was best to go in the morning as there was not too many people😊
The most magical place to play mini golf! My teenage sons had some friends come and stay from Christchurch. We took them to Ice Age Mini Golf and they absolutely LOVED it!! I
Family of 4 (2x teenagers) all enjoyed the mini golf Ideal on a cold day and good price booking through here Turned up early and they let us go through which was great
Cool experience, my daughter loved it!!!!
Very friendly accomodating, played with 2adults 3tween kids the dark side of the room started off to rocky start but once we got going we managed to complete with minutes to spare. Will definately go again keen to try the other room
Highly recommend, was good when it was overcast so a sunny day would be better but there are good indoor, outdoor & covered spaces. Great staff & service and the food was delish & reasonably priced.
A nice wander round to say hello to friendly animals and feed them some treats We were round and back at the car within 40 mins A good place for kids to have interaction with animals
We had an awesome time on the Walk an Alpaca tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who knew every animal by name and encouraged us to get to know and hug these adorable creatures. They are really well taken care of and are very friendly to humans, while each having their own unique personalities. We highly recommend this tour as everyone (both grown-ups and kids) came away beaming with smiles from this wonderful experience. Thanks Cornerstone Alpacas!
It’s a non stop awesome day.. Firstly, we arrive a tad late (gotta look good for the alpacas). But the guide waited for us! It’s super nice of her. Next, we went for a briefing (safety and all) and start our close up one to one with the alpacas!! Let’s just say they do not know what personal boundaries is. LOL. Me and my partner had heaps of great moments and memories. And we’re coming again next week. Lol. Just can’t get enough of those super soft creatures!!
Took my son who is special needs to Cornerstone to experience the Walk-An-Alpaca Tour! & it was such an amazing and cool experience to experience! Our tour guide was amazing, super friendly and well knowledgeable! It was cool to see our tour guide follow my sons cue which was good, she even encouraged my son to feed the alpaca which was very rewarding for my son & I! We ended up getting a bag of trail food as my son wanted to hand feed them when our tour ended! Son said he wants to go back so we will definitely come back very soon!
I loved it! I booked a farm tour. I had an amazing experience interacting with the friendly, fluffy alpacas and the two llamas. Afterwards I had a delicious real fruit ice cream.
My partner and I decided to visit for our date day and we weren't disappointed! There was an educational talk at the beginning and then we headed out to the paddocks. We first met the teenage alpacas who were super sweet and gentle, then we went on to meet the Llamas so that we could see the difference between the two animals and to also give us a gentle introduction into how cheeky they all behave! And then we met the large groups of alpacas. We had so much fun feeding them all and giving them pets, and of course we did get caught in some of the crossfire when it came to their spitting contests!
