Beautiful location with nice walks around a smallish lake. Very close to a range of restaurants or you can walk 15 mins into Cambridge town centre for more shops and restaurants. Lovely clean room with a plush breakfast selection. The gym is in an adjacent building but with a great selection of machines.

I really enjoyed our stay at hidden lake. The property was clean and modern. There was no one at the front desk when we checked in, but there’s a sign to call a number. When we called, Glenda (or Brenda?) one of the managers came to help us and she was super sweet. We were able to check in early too. Rachel was the main server at breakfast and I liked that the breakfast was made to order. Very tasty and she was also super sweet. Our second day Glenda was helping out for breakfast too. I thought that was nice. The property is in a plaza with a lot of dining options too. I would highly recommend this hotel :)

Great Base for Local Adventures

Hidden Lake Hotel in Cambridge was a perfect spot for exploring nearby attractions like Hobbiton, the Rotorua thermal spas, and the Waitomo Caves. The staff made us feel really special on our honeymoon, and the hotel had a calm, comfortable vibe that was ideal after busy days out exploring.
