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.

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!

Neat and tidy property. Clean. Owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Would be great to get the cafe up and running again, but the Tomo pub and eatery next door had good food!

Eric at the desk was incredibly sweet and hospitable. Offered us towels to borrow for black water rafting and let us store luggage after check out while we did our activities before leaving. Wonderful spot. Hope they get a chance to reopen the cafe and continue doing well after covid.

Great option near Waitomo

Cute little hotel walking distance to Waitomo Caves. This hotel exceeded our expectations -- the room was very clean and bright and looked recently redone. Very comfortable. And an easy walk from both the caves and a handful of handy restaurants and a coffee shop. The hotel manager was very nice and helpful. Would stay again!
