The Golden Cross Hotel in Waihi pretty much gives it's information away with it's name. Waihi located in the Hauraki District of NZ is made up of a rich gold mining history and was named as the "Golden Cross Mining" region.
This is a 2 story wooden building with an iron roof but the outside has been clad in brick and concrete. It was built in 1899, has 17 rooms and a dining room. It was originally placed in Waitekauri but was later moved to Waihi. Firstly used as a hotel it is now popular with backpackers.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Hello, the red trim on the hotel pops, it matches the color of the car too. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day! Have a happy weekend ahead.
I'm diggin' that car parked out front :-)
It's a simple building but the gray and red make it very pleasing to the eye. Love the car too!
It has character.
Interesting history and looks very well preserved for its age. Love the vintage red car passing by!
Nice that it has been preserved all these years.

Nice to see that it is still used used for accommodation.
Nice street photography. Love the vintage car.
The red and grey is very smart - although is it just me that wants to paint the building name lettering red to match! :)
