Where to eat and stay in Thames

49 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Thames, Waikato — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 49 venues in Thames — 39 places to eat and 10 to stay. That makes it the 5th-largest of the 160 towns and suburbs we cover in Waikato, carrying 3% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 44% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Thames is 16 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 17 cafés, 4 restaurants, 14 takeaways, 1 bars and 3 pubs.

16 of the 39 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are chinese (2), burger (2) and pizza (2). None of them is far out of line with the national picture; the mix here is broad rather than specialised.

On the practical detail: 4 publish opening hours (8%) and 3 are recorded as step-free. That trails the 23% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, Thames runs to 10 listings — 4 motels, 1 hostels and 5 holiday parks and campgrounds. Holiday parks and campgrounds dominate, at 50% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Ellerslie (49), Havelock North (49), Royal Oak (50) and Upper Hutt (50) — average 10% accommodation. Thames runs at 20%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. No venue in Thames yet carries the six recorded attributes needed for its own page, so the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
