Title
Riverside of Cambridge - Motor Lodge and Conference Centre
Description
The Riverside is located on the banks of the Waikato River at the point where navigation on the river ceased due to the narrowing of the river and start of many rapids. It was the point that the military used as the final unloading station for ships and the area was known as "The Landing". The Riverside Restaurant has a large outdoor courtyard for dining which is known also as "The Landing". A plaque on the wall at the main reception records the events.
During the previous 3 or 4 years Riverside Motor Lodge & Conference Centre has been marketed as Riverside of Cambridge due to the impending opening of the Riverside Casino in Hamilton only 15 minutes drive away.
Built around 30 years ago Riverside is currently enjoying popularity close to that of its hey-day. The venue is marketed as a warm, friendly family style operation with a permanent staff of 30 people including some part-time. A resident musician plays 3 nights a week. The restaurant caters for breakfast 7 days a week and opens every evening from 6.00 pm for dinner. Lunches by arrangement.
