Brooklands Country Estate; voted winner, gold category, of the 2005-2006 Holidays for Couples Readers' Choice Awards of the Best Hotel/Resort, New Zealand.
Brooklands Country Estate is a 5 Star country retreat
where you will experience a nostalgic touch of colonialism at its best.
After an easy 80 minute drive south from Auckland, or 35 minutes north of Hamilton, or you can fly we have a HELIPAD, only 4km from Waingaro Hot Springs, through the fertile Waikato farmlands, Brooklands Country Estate stands waiting for its guests, in complete harmony with its rural setting, as it has done for more than a hundred years.
Using native timbers and materials, and following villa plans typical of 19th century New Zealand, local crafts men hand-built Brooklands for a pioneering farming family.
