MAAKONA

MAAKONA sits on the banks of the Waikato River in Hamilton’s CBD, pairing sweeping water views with an easy, come-as-you-are energy.

Set within ibis Hamilton Tainui yet open to everyone, it's a spot where shared plates, refreshing drinks, and unhurried conversation come naturally.

On the plate, the menu blends local flavours with bright, Asia-Pacific accents. Expect familiar comforts given a lift - fried chicken sliders, honey soy-glazed wings, and Thai-style raw salmon.

For mains, heartier appetites gravitate to Kiwi lamb rump, or the fragrant chicken laksa.

To finish, a nostalgic sticky banana pudding or a molten-centered chocolate indulgence keeps things sweet.

Beyond the food, the dining room and terrace make the most of that river outlook, whether you're stopping by for barista coffee, a grazing buffet breakfast, or a laid-back dinner. Book a table today and let MAAKONA set the pace!
