Experience the Coromandel - A Beautiful Garden Attraction

The Waihi Waterlily Gardens are located at the intersection of the Coromandel, Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, on the outskirts of Waihi, one of New Zealands most historically significant towns. Rich in gold, the area boasts some of the country's most breath-taking attractions and scenic bushwalks; many of which are scattered with well preserved, century-old relics of the region's mining past. The Waihi Waterlily Gardens are in the midst of it all - just minutes away from glorious coromandel bushwalks, Waihi Beach, and beaches of the Coromandel, a great 9-hole golf course, trout fishing and heritage trails of the Karangahake Gorge, arts, crafts, beautiful gardens to visit, and a township with a heart of gold.
