Hotels in Waitomo Caves

"The hotel is in a quiet location, with simple facilities. There is no TV and private kitchen, only a public kitchen, which we think is not hygienic enough and useless. The good thing is that there are two breakfast and dinner restaurants next to it. The food in the COFFEE breakfast restaurant is very good, and the service is also very good. It is not expensive and worth tasting; However, Asians should be more careful when eating at Tomo Bar. We went there for more than an hour and we were not served. The three foreign tables that came later than us were served before us. After I confirmed that they served the dishes in the order of arrival time, I was very dissatisfied and went to find them. They saw that I was a little angry, and served all the dishes in less than two minutes. They threw the newspaper I ordered on the ground, and neither apologized nor gave me a new one. I gave them a five-star review on Google as soon as I went there. At this time, they only cleared the tableware for the foreign table, and pretended not to see the empty wine glasses we drank. At the end, there was no polite language when they went to clear the tableware. I think they can negotiate what kind of guests they don’t welcome and don’t charge us. We also hate to eat in places like them, which lowers our emotional value."

"A very nice place. Hosts Richie and Lynn were friendly and helpful. The location is a stone’s throw from Waitomo caves and there are three places to eat within walking distance. It’s quiet and cozy. Netflix on the TV was welcomed on a rainy evening. The breakfast was welcomed as well."

"Motel plus RV camp, there is a restaurant next to it, with a laundry room, good location, very close to Waitomo, suitable for people who go to the Glowworm Caves, although there is no air conditioning, it is not hot at all in summer"

"We had a wonderful stay at the hostel. The staff were very friendly and gave us a thorough introduction to the hostel, including its lovely animal residents, like baby lambs, deer, pig, and horse. A highlight of my stay was the chance to feed the baby lamb, which was a truly memorable experience! The facilities are basic, but everything is in good working order and covers the essentials. The bedding was clean, and they provided a clear wall guide on how to set it up, which was helpful and a nice touch. Overall, it was a cozy, enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend it to others!"

"The place looks a bit rundown but overall the stay is comfortable and quiet."

"Very remote, but it is worth trying. Living here will have a rare experience. Let’s get a bit more dramatic. You can see fluorescent insects 🐛 (👀) without spending money."

"The front desk lady was very nice. We had two rooms to choose from. There is a farm around, with goats, sheep, cows, ostriches, and a pig. One star is given to the pig, who was super friendly and purred as soon as we met. It is a good choice for those who want to see the caves but don't want to drive too far. The only drawback is that there are all kinds of insects in the room. You can only pretend to be blind as there are too many to kill."

"The room was clean and the view spreading in front of me was the best. It looks beautiful to climb the Asahi from the room. Breakfast was delicious."

"We made a temporary reservation due to weather problems. There were no hotels nearby, only motels. I was a little worried about hygiene and safety issues. When we arrived, the front desk staff was very enthusiastic and gave us two bottles of water and chocolates. The room was large and there was a stove for cooking. I arrived at almost 7 o'clock in the evening during a holiday, and there was no restaurant to eat. In the morning, I went to the Bosca cafe opposite to have a rich breakfast. Thank you Ctrip for your enthusiastic help"
