Cambridge New Zealand

We are really proud of the wonderful town of Cambridge New Zealand.



TOWN MAP

Hopefully you will find a lot of helpful information here for if you are planning to visit or move here.

Cambridge

A wonderful country town in the green, fertile rural Waikato region of New Zealand.

It is central to many North Island attractions, and is home to Lake Karapiro which is hosting the 2010 World Rowing Championships.

The closest city is Hamilton, which is approximately 20 minutes drive away. The access to the city centre from the southern end of the city is easy, even with some traffic delays at peak work and school times. So this is another reason a lot of people look for house rental in our town.

We are also very central, and you can easily get to other major cities, towns, beaches and lakes.

Driving Times (approx.):
Auckland 2 hours
Tauranga 1 hour
Rotorua 1 hour
Taupo 1.5 hours

Areas of Town

Cambridge East on one side of the Waikato River is closest to the nearest city of Hamilton.
The main shopping centre is also on this side of the river but is equally close to both parts of town.
The East side has a significant number of lovely, well-kept historic wooden bungalows and villas which form a key part of the overall image of our well-known, quaint town of trees and champions.

Leamington is on the other side of the River and is closer to Lake Karapiro. This is often of particular interest if you are a rower.
Leamington has a smaller shopping centre which also includes services such as Doctors, Pharmacy, Fish and Chip Shops, Pizzeria, Liquor Store, Gas Station etc etc
This area was significantly developed in the 1970's through until today, and has less of the historic bungalows and villas. However, there are also many new areas including the well-know Cowley Drive which has large sections and large modern houses.

Both of sides of the river include more recently subdivided areas, with a selection of modern housing for house rental.

Lifestyle blocks that offer more land and space for recreation, family and animals are also common around the edges of town.
