Comfortable & Convenient Hamilton CBD Home

LauraRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Exactly as described— updated bathroom and kitchen, nice fenced yard, comfortable beds. We also appreciated access to Netflix after a long day on the train. Paul was very responsive when there was a minor snafu with the door code. Glad we stayed here!

Lake house - city center - 4 bedrooms

TheresaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We have stayed at this house twice now while visiting family in Hamilton. The house is in the perfect location, very central with great views. Parking is challenging if you have a larger vehicle, but shouldn't be a problem for a smaller car. Will definitely be coming back!

Stunning Hamilton Lake Views

Rachel was a fantastic host, who went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay at her home overlooking the lake in Hamilton. She was very flexible with check in and out times, and her communication was excellent. The house had everything we needed, and the deck and patio overlooking the lake were brilliant. Would definitely book again next time I’m in Hamilton. Thanks for a great experience Rachel.

City Centre B&B in Central Hamilton-Studio Cottage

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Stayed here for two months. Highly recommend this for anyone in the area for a longer period. It is very walkable to the centre of Hamilton. There are co-working spaces nearby (I used The Crate) if that’s something that’s important. Within a very short walk there is a car rental place and making use of that to explore the surrounding area was excellent. Good bus links and the buses take both Bee Card and Cash (at the time of writing). Fantastic place, would absolutely stay again if I am in the area
