The Waterlily Gardens

While there's not exactly a lot of noise and activity to escape from in Waihi, there's nowhere better than the Waihi Waterlily Gardens for guests looking for serenity, silence and beautiful grounds. There are two cottages available, both with fireplace, deck overlooking the gardens, king-size bed and mini kitchenette. There's also parking available for campervans and freedom campers. 441 Pukekauri Road, Waihi. (07) 214 8188, waterlily.co.nz
