Great venue as a base for lots of locations.

Comfortable venue and patient/gracious hosts: we arrived later than ideal, but the team were very friendly and understanding. A good place to stay in Waihi as a base to explore Waikato or to head to Bay of Plenty or the Coromandel. Would recommend.

If is is cold do not stay here

Would never stay at the The Goldmine Motel again. It is not worth the money asked. The room was very cold - heater did not work and there were no electric blanket on the bed. The room smelled badly. Pillows smelled. We were woken in the morning at 0815hrs by the receptionist, who said she wanted to let us know she was taking her dogs to the vet. (Really we did not need to have this information) She could have told us how to turn on the room heater if she wanted to tell us anything.

Exactly what you would expect from a Motel in a town. Vicki was a great host and the room was clean, well looked after. The dog and cat 'concierges' were fun to play with in the morning. Close enough to he heart of town that you can walk there in a few minutes. I'd go back again.

quiet hotel in the mining town of Waihi

The motel is in a very quiet residential area, quite different from other hotels and motels in Waihi. Although the room is not huge, it has all necessary amenities including a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, and utencils.

Good place to stay

We were received by Vicki and quickly checked in. She was very informative about the local restaurants, museums and hiking trails. The place reminds me of the small road house hotels my parents would stop at when we were on road trips. Nice area to sit outdoors and very private. Loved our stay!!
