He aha Waikato

• Go to the beach – it’s an hour’s drive without the expense of a huge mortgage to be by one!

• Lots to do especially if you’re outdoorsy

• Mountains to climb, ski or just sit on and watch the world go by

• Lakes for water skiing, swimming or just having a picnic so close it’s ridiculous

• Lifestyle blocks galore with several small towns surrounding Hamilton where homes are on large sections with great schools are ‘cheap as chups’

• Loads of fog but when that sun shines it shines brightly

• A trip to Auckland is ‘easy breezy’ via the new expressway
