Get your climbing gear ready…
Property is very close to glow worm cave. The climb from the parking to your room should come with a Sherpa. I’d have packed a small overnight bag if I had known. It’s comfortable, the owners are delightful folks, and the breakfast hearty and fresh.

Good value in Waitomo
The hotel is in a great location for the Waitomo Caves, the waterfall, the Natural Bridge, and just nice rolling hills. Our room was secluded and had everything we needed for our stay. The property has nice vegetation and a nice deck to sit on.

4/10 Fair

Unfriendly welcome. Access to the property is via some unsafe steps. The gardens are overgrown and the tin huts are badly insulated against both heat and cold. If the owner offers to book a meal for you at the local restaurant, you expect it to be done. Sadly this is not the case as she regularly forgets. Overall, if it was not for the glowworm caves we would not have stopped.

The rooms are individual lodges. Ours was quite small but fine for one night. Lynette was very friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for dinner and other things to do. There were lots of small touches that we appreciated, and a lovely continental breakfast.
