Welcome to the 'Town of Trees'

Located in the North Island, Cambridge sits on the banks of the Waikato River and is styled like a classic English town.

It also is home to many rowing champions, as nearby Lake Karapiro is often the venue for world-class water based events.  Not sure what to do? Check out our selection below...
