Best Cambridge Hotels

This little hotel tucked away is so quiet. There is no traffic noise. The hosts were so polite and obliging. My room was very large and sparkling clean. It is in a great location with an easy walk to Good Union for dinner. I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again, in fact I had planned to stay one night and then go to Auckland to be closer to the airport but decided to stay an extra night at this hotel and drive straight to the airport on my last day in New Zealand.

I stayed here for one night in August 2023. The lodge is about a ten-minute drive from Hamilton airport, and a couple of minutes into Cambridge. It would probably be a half-hour walk. The lodge is located on a quiet rural road, just off one of the main roads into Cambridge. The setting is very peaceful. The room was very large with a kitchenette and separate bathroom. It would be ideal for a long stay as it has all the conveniences. In the complex there's a room with a large-screen TV and kitchenette and vending machines (a social area where people can mix), a laundry, charging point for electric vehicles, and plenty of carparking. I chose Podium Lodge given its closeness to Hamilton airport and would certainly do so again.

The rooms were clean, and tidy. Beds are comfy and decent pillows. Great kitchen facilities with a nice balcony to sit on and enjoy the local atmosphere. The new owners are very hospitable. Good amount of off road parking. Lovely cafe near by and a beautiful Thai restaurant next door. Convenient to walk into town or head to the local Saturday markets

My Mum and I had a 2 night stay at Cambridge TOP 10 Holiday Park, passing through for an event in Hamilton. We booked one of the Executive Studio Suites, a comfortable, clean and tidy suite. Reception team was welcoming and helpful. Only a block from a few shops, which we walked to one evening and under a 5 minute drive into town. Would recommend it..

I had two units to accommodate myself and my teenage son and a separate unit for an elderly relative. The TV volume would not go past 20 as it was pre-set. This made it impossible to be used by my elderly relative. The owners spent ages trying to find out how to change the setting. Eventually they got on the phone to the people they were rending the TV from and got instructions on how to change it which was good of them to make that effort. The unit my elderly relative was in had a walk in shower with a fold down seat which made it extra safe. Considering there was road works right outside the unit the double glazed windows kept almost all of the sound out. Overall a very good motel and the attentive friendly owners never showed any annoyance at the many requests for assistance that they got. I really appreciated their patience. The pillows are a little large and solid. If you are a pillow fuss pot like I am you should bring your own favourite pillow if possible.

This was a very comfortable cottage in a rural setting just out of town. The cottages located close to the main house open onto a lovely garden. Checking in was easy and the staff very helpful. The only criticism we had was that the lighting in the bathroom was a little poor.

We had a room with a king size bed and it was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy but the kitchen oven was something from the dinosaur era (no joke) and this is not a purposely built motel its old flats that have been turned into a motel. The shower had great pressure but oddly it had a window half way down the wall so the water goes all over the window sill and you cant open it to let steam out as then everyone would be able to see you. They didn't supply any shampoo or conditioner only soap. The TV had sky but is small and there is no where to sit outside to enjoy a drink or have any privacy. We paid $170.00 for the night and I think that's terrible for the quality of this motel.
