Waikino Hotel 3.93

Hidden deep in the magnificent Karangahake Gorge is a small, almost forgotten village called Waikino. Once the heart of Gold mining in the Waikato it is home to beautiful native bush and breathtaking scenery. At its centre is the Waikino Tavern.

Located not even 2 minutes up the road from the main carpark Waikino Tavern is an ideal place to rest after a weary day of walking or cycling the pristine tracks through the gorge.

Quench your thirst with ice cold beer on tap or indulge in our delicious new menu of pub fare. We're also know for our awesome themed events and live music nights so check out our events page!
