We had no idea what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. Friendly owner and the room was very clean with nice little shabby chic touches. We went to the attached restaurant and had a nice meal with a large garden out the back for the child to run! Large naughts and crosses game to play. Overall very good! Nice drive out to Waitanguru falls. Quite a drive to Waitomo caves. Definitely recommend!

The best area to stay in Waimiha is directly within the village centre, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the surrounding natural attractions.
Waimiha is a small, quiet village located in the heart of the Manawatū-Whanganui region, surrounded by native bush and farmland. The village itself is compact, with a few local businesses and a strong sense of community. The main road, State Highway 4, runs through the village, making it easy to navigate.
Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find Waimiha ideal. The area is superb for those who appreciate the outdoors, with opportunities for bushwalking, birdwatching, and simply enjoying the tranquil environment.
When is the best time to go to Waimiha?
The best time to go to Waimiha is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring (November) through to early autumn (April), when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.
During this period, you can expect longer daylight hours and generally milder temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. This is particularly good for those who enjoy hiking, cycling, or visiting the local parks and reserves, as the trails will be more accessible and comfortable to navigate. Families travelling with children will find these months more suitable for outdoor adventures without the chill of winter.
For those interested in water-based activities or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings, the summer months (December to February) offer the warmest conditions. This is superb for relaxing by the river or taking part in any local events that might be scheduled during the peak holiday season.
