Hamilton Yacht Club
About
On North Island, Hamilton Yacht Club sits at Innes Common, Lake Crescent, Hamilton Lake, Hamilton 3204, a base for sailing and waterside activity on the lake.
Members and visitors know it for its position on the water and its role in the city's boating life, with the club's own site at http://www.hyc.org.nz/ covering what it runs. A 4.4 out of 5 average across 50 reviews reflects steady approval from those who have used it. First-time visitors can expect a working club environment rather than a resort-style facility, with activity centred on the lake itself. The club draws on a city that sits among Auckland, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo, Wellington, Napier and New Plymouth, all within reach for anyone touring the island by road.
Reaching the club is straightforward from Hamilton, and Auckland, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo, Wellington, Napier and New Plymouth all sit within a reasonable drive for those touring the island. Hamilton itself lies inland, so the lake setting gives the club a sheltered stretch of water that suits small craft and casual paddling alike.
Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so timing a visit around the warmer months suits anyone planning time on the water. The country is a long, narrow group of islands, which means the sea is rarely far away wherever you travel. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common inland, while dolphins, fur seals and seabirds turn up around the coast.
