Good location to visit the glowworm caves. Nice log cabin style accommodation. Clean but sign's of being tired. Basic provisions although you could use the communal kitchen. Ate at the lical pun Tomo eatery which was excellent.

6/10 Good

Amazing stay. The beds were comfortable and the room had all we needed. The hosts were very friendly. The location is very convenient to the caves.

10/10 Exceptional

We went to the cave and this was close place. Rooms were nice. We arrived late and had to go to town for food that was about 12 min away. While we were there we found this great handmade baggage store.. Awesome work and nice guy. Don't remember the name but it was next to the only gas station.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

So close to the caves!

Fabulous location for visiting the caves. Good clean and spacious room. It would have been nice to have more than one chair in a room with 5 beds but fortunately there were plenty of beds to sit on. Great views!

8/10 Very good

Fantastic chalet-style accommodation located perfectly in Waitomo Village. A stones throw to the pub for dinner and a stroll to lovely walks and the visitor centre. Lovely staff and clean, functional rooms. One of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept on!

Great helpful and friendly owners. Room was newly renovated and clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and comfy

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect for visiting the caves and eating a great meal after! The kitchen was perfect for us to make a quick breakfast before leaving for our next adventure! The only issue was the heater made banging noises all night.

Excellent accommodation

The building looked a little tired compared with others in complex. But inside was fresh, clean and just what we needed for a one night stop.
