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.

Wonderful stay in Waitomo!
Such a great place to stay when checking out Waitomo. Highly recommend staying in a private room as a couple. But when we passed by the hostel type rooms, they were quite charming too. We’d love to visit again with friends and family. Great cooking facilities and even a washer/dryer.

Picturesque property in a peaceful village. Staff were great, warm and welcoming. The room was large and well equipped. Simple but very clean. Very convenient location to a pub and general store both steps away. Would definitely recommend!

Very basic but comfortable rooms, 15 minute walk from Waitomo Caves and Walkway and adjacent to eateries and small grocery in Waitomo Village. Short hill climb and flight of stairs to reach our second floor accommodation; not a problem for us but might be challenging for those with mobility issues. No AC.

The room was very small and the carpet was threadbare. There was one towel each to shower with, but only one hand towel for both of us. There was no luggage rack, so had to put luggage on the floor. The room is showed it with a kitchenette when I booked it, but there was nothing but a small refrigerator and a hot pot. Because there was no air conditioning we had to leave the windows open, which allowed the bugs to come in. For those traveling to see the glowworms stay in Hamilton. It’s only an hour away.
