Waikato is a convenient visitors destination that not only offers itself as a base to explore the surrounding area in the northern island of New Zealand, but it also offers a wide and varied landscape. From hot mineral pools, to waterfalls, limestone glowworm caves, forest clad mountains and golden beaches, you will find so many attractions that it will be hard to leave, ever. Waikato is only a 90 minutes convenient drive from Auckland. Visitors will find charming towns and plenty to do whilst exploring the area. The local university offers plenty of choices for the study hungry and the west coast beach community of Raglan is a well known surfers hangout.
The local property market is strong with high demand for new housing. Many big city investors and overseas expatriates find themselves excited by the prices of housing in Waikato. The money that buys a house in a big city such as Sydney Australia could easily be invested into buying two properties in the Waikato region. This is potentially a great investment for young couples, business professionals and retirees alike.
