“Hamilton & Waikato is an easily accessible destination from Auckland with a wealth of experiential assets for a business event and incentive programme. The wealth of expertise in the region covers a spectrum of industries, which all add potential for enhancing corporate and conference event programmes. With high-tech contemporary facilities, the region offers a broad focus on agriculture, medicine, science and technology, the arts, sporting excellence, cultural experience, glow worms, a tea plantation, motor racing and movie making. Worth your consideration.”

David Addison / Director of Strategic Development / Sane Event Group / Sydney

“The venue (Claudelands Conference & Exhibition Centre) is a great credit to the region and city. It surely reflects “cathedral” thinking by locals. It is surprisingly large and apparently easily adaptable and well looked after. Staff members are allowed to use their individual initiatives which translates into small touches I have yet to see in other venues.

The Novotel Tainui continues to be one of the most pleasurable places to stay in NZ.”

Nigel Coventry / Inside Tourism

“What a great destination – with modern state-of-the-art conference venues within walking distance, dining and entertainment opportunities on your door step and a plethora of opportunities from the leisurely stroll amongst the Hamilton Gardens to the adrenalin-filled Black Water Rafting at Waitomo; as a conference destination Waikato and Hamilton has it all.”

Georgina Torrington / Sales Manager / Continental Catering / Conference Delegate

“I’ve come away with a completely overhauled impression of Hamilton. I’m impressed! I would now, for example, really go all out to promote pre-and-post for Auckland (and Wellington) international conferences, to drive or fly to Hamilton to include an overnight stay to see the Hamilton Gardens and dinner at Hobbiton Movie Set- then on to Rotorua for a night. These two places are truly unique. The dinner was probably the best conference dinner experience I’ve had. Hamilton is now firmly in my radar as a destination. Claudelands is a fantastic venue with a great team of staff.”

Janet Matheson / Managing Director / Conferences & Events

"Firstly, it struck a chord of how welcoming every operator was and how in sync everyone was of new tourism developments in the region. The region is proud of what they can host and the Hamilton & Waikato Bureau were there to back it up by spending a full two days showing the regions highlights and iconic places.

From High teas, Black Tie nights, partner activities, seminars and party nights, it was all able to be catered for. The choice is there, the standard is there, now you just have to get there, all with the dynamic Hamilton & Waikato Tourism Bureau at your side assisting you all the way."

Nick Porter / ENJO New Zealand / Site Inspection

“I’ve just come back from a conference in Hamilton and all I can say is WOW. Brilliant conference facilities, such friendly locals and great options for pre-and- post activities. Gutted I missed the yoga in the Japanese Garden at Hamilton Gardens, as this sounded like a highlight. Thanks Waikato for delivering a great experience.”

Jake Downing / Head of Tourism / Weta Workshop

Thinking Of Hosting A Business Event Or Conference In The Waikato?

Here’s What Others Have To Say…

The Beating Heart Of New Zealand

The mighty Waikato region covers most of the central North Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand. It is the country’s fourth largest region and home to approximately 10 per cent of the population, with about 440,000 people calling the Waikato home. The Waikato is a place of powerful possibilities – a thriving economic area and a place rich in breath-taking natural wonders.

While it will be tempting to remain in the Waikato, the region is in close proximity to other activity hotspots, such as Rotorua, Taupo and Auckland. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the central North Island, with several highways passing through, and with an airport on the outskirts of Hamilton city.

“BIG CITY SOLUTIONS, SMALL CITY HEART”

Conference and business event attendees are spoilt for choice when coming to the Waikato. Not only are conference facilities top-rate, but the variety of experiences and activities on offer for team building, and pre-and-post conference opportunities, are phenomenal. From legendary surfing beaches, underground wonders, Middle-earth movie magic, and a thriving metropolitan city, the Waikato region boasts diversity and endless activity options.

The metropolis of Hamilton city is where sophistication meets friendly kiwi lifestyle. World-class events and visitor activities on offer are complemented by a rich cultural mix, vibrant restaurant and nightlife scene, extensive shopping options and leading art galleries.

The region’s diverse natural landscape offers sensational opportunities. The diversity includes ancient mountains, stretching plains, rugged black sand beaches, and subterranean cave systems. The Waikato is known for its rolling green hills, native forests, and mighty river (the Waikato River), all of which combine to make the region an excellent walking, hiking, cycling and water-sport destination.

If a good taste of New Zealand’s world-famous adventure is on the agenda, then the Waikato will thrill. The Waitomo Caves offer an underground playground of black water rafting, abseiling and cave exploration under glow worm-studded ‘skies’. Above ground, the mighty Waikato River wends its way through the region, offering great kayaking, cruising,

trout fishing and jet boating – particularly on the picturesque hydro lakes, such as Lake Karapiro.

The Waikato is proud to be home to the Maori King and the cultural significance of the region is evident in the many taonga (treasures) of the Waikato Tainui tribe, which adorn the local museums.

The region is one of the richest agricultural areas in New Zealand, and in the world. It also has a proud reputation as a centre for innovation and creativity across a wide range of industry and business sectors.

Hamilton and the Waikato are conveniently located. Several highways pass through the region, including State Highway 1, which connects to Auckland in the north and Taupo in the south. A train service also operates between Hamilton and Auckland. State Highway 3 links Hamilton with Waitomo, taking in towns such as Otorohanga where the popular kiwi house and native bird park are located.

The region’s climate is temperate with summer temperatures generally in the early to mid-20s with some days reaching 30 degrees Celsius. Winter temperatures average between five and 14 degrees Celsius.

IONRegional Snapshot The Region’s Pulse

The Waikato is also New Zealand’s leading region for hi-tech innovative manufacturing and engineering industries. It is also home to the country’s largest aircraft manufacturer (Pacific Aerospace).

Hamilton has a youthful population – about half its residents are under 30 years of age. The population makeup is 75 per cent European, 19 per cent Māori, with 80 ethnic groups filling the remaining percentage.

Many leading companies in the service, bio-tech, medical and agricultural sectors have made the Waikato home.

Hamilton city has more than 1,000 hectares of open space, including nearly 150 parks and more than 60 sports areas. Sports venues of significance include the Cambridge Avantidrome as well as international sports venues. These are: the multi-purpose FMG Stadium Waikato, the boutique international cricket ground of Seddon Park, and Claudelands indoor sport venue.

There are 44 Hobbit Holes to pass on the Hobbiton Movie Set tour (the Waikato is full of fun, so we couldn’t resist including this fun fact!).

The Waikato is the epicentre of New Zealand’s dairy industry - the region is one of the richest agricultural and pastoral areas in the world. The National Agricultural Fieldays – the largest agricultural trade

show in the Southern Hemisphere – are held annually at Mystery Creek, on Hamilton’s outskirts.

Hamilton is recognised as a world-class centre for agricultural biotech excellence. The city is home to a number of New Zealand’s science research facilities

(more than 1,000 PhD-qualified scientists live and work in Hamilton).

Cambridge, one of Waipa’s two main centres, has the highest concentration of domiciled Olympic Gold medallists of any town in the world. Don’t be surprised to find yourself sharing

the same café as Olympic medallists and world champions. And if you do, say hello! That’s how it works in Waipa.

The Waikato is the home of champions. A total of 33 per cent of New Zealand’s carded athletes train and live in the Waikato. Fourteen Melbourne Cup champion horses have been bred in Cambridge.

Two tertiary institutes attract students to Hamilton – The University of Waikato, and the Waikato Institute of Technology (WINTEC).

Many popular attractions are within a comfortable hour’s drive of Hamilton city, so self-drive is a popular option with many car hire companies on hand to assist if need be. Hamilton and the Waikato are readily accessible – easy to reach and to get around. Flying in, travelling by train or bus are all options.

CambridgeA picturesque township, Cambridge is flanked by horse studs and Lake Karapiro – with a velodrome just outside the town. It is home to high performance sport. Many Olympic and sporting greats chose to train and live here.

MatamataThis rural town with rolling green hills is famously known as home to the Hobbiton™ Movie Set. Also on offer are horse racing experiences, heritage trails, and the popular Wairere Falls walk.

Te Awamutu & Surrounds“The Town of Roses” offers wonderful walking, hiking and cycling options. Hiking opportunities include scaling the Waikato’s highest peak of Mt Pirongia (959 metres). Another towering gem is Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, a mainland ecological island and wildlife sanctuary, where 3,400 hectares of pest-proof mountain reserve are protected.

HamiltonHamilton is the region’s main city at the hub of the Waikato. Hamilton is renowned for its cultural and creative diversity, pulsing and pleasing restaurant scene, wide range of events and festivals, and shopping opportunities (The Base Shopping Centre is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere). It is NZ’s hot air balloon city, and home to the international award-winning Hamilton Gardens.

North WaikatoSteeped in cultural history (including the home of the Māori King), this area boasts stunning natural landscapes, an international motorsport park and boutique lodges. It is on Auckland’s doorstep.

Waitomo & SurroundsFrom boat rides under thousands of glittering glow worms to adrenalin-fuelled black water rafting and abseiling… this has to be one of the planet’s most awe-inspiring places.

Te Aroha & SurroundsOne of the world's only hot water soda springs feeds the therpeutic mineral pools in this town. Te Aroha also offers art galleries, foraging, walking, hiking and biking opportunities. Commanding views can be enjoyed from the top of Mt Te Aroha.

RaglanRaglan is synonymous with surf – its black sand beaches are legendary, offering one of the world’s longest left-hand surf breaks. Raglan’s bohemian vibe and alternative accommodation options (silo, yurt, caboose, tepee, and beach bach) are also a delight.

South WaikatoHome to the Waikato River Trails – 100kms to explore on foot or bike – and the internationally acclaimed pure water from the Blue Spring, accessed via Te Waihou Walkway. Corrugated iron creations, artisan cheese, trout fishing, a timber museum, farmland and forestry add to the area’s identity.

The Hobbiton Movie Set TourThe Hobbiton tour acts as a perfect incentive activity. Be escorted by a guide through the five hectare site, recounting fascinating details of how the Hobbiton Movie Set was created. Hobbit Holes™, The Green Dragon Inn, the Mill and other structures can be viewed – enjoy seeing how this beautiful piece of Waikato farmland was transformed into the Shire™ from Middle-earth™.

Hobbiton Movie Set

Situated on a 550 hectare working sheep and beef farm is The Hobbiton Movie Set. When scouting around for settings for his epic movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kiwi Director Sir Peter Jackson found exactly what he was looking for in the green paddocks of the Waikato, just outside Matamata.

To conclude a Hobbiton Movie Set experience, why not experience a tour of the Shire under moonlight. Each guest will receive an authentic handheld lantern to light the way through the wandering paths of Hobbiton. This stunning journey under the stars will travel through the village, breathtakingly lit up with smoking Hobbit Hole chimneys and lanterns glowing against the darkness.

The Party MarqueeThe Party Marquee is a fully themed marquee created from authentic canvas. The marquee has beautiful hardwood floors and has been placed adjacent to the Green Dragon Inn. Festively decorated throughout with glowing lanterns and coloured bunting, the Party Marquee creates a party atmosphere to remember. The raised garden bar looks out over Hobbiton Movie Set’s lake ‒ the perfect backdrop to any event.

The Green Dragon™ InnThe Green Dragon Inn was the meeting place for all residents of Hobbiton, who would gather in the warm surroundings of the bar to chatter about the day’s events. An exact replica of The Green Dragon Inn, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies, has been masterfully recreated in the heart of the Shire. The barrels of The Green Dragon Inn are filled with the Inn’s exclusive Southfarthing™ ale, stout, cider and gingerbeer - a perfect match to any feast in the Shire. The Green Dragon Inn is fully themed with indoor and outdoor fireplaces and provides professional catering services with fully licensed bars.
