Best Waitomo Caves Hotels

"Right next to Tomo Bar, the location is very convenient. However, all rooms are built on the mountain, you have to take the stairs to your own room, and if you have a lot of shopkeepers, you will help with your luggage. The store is a very amiable and enthusiastic couple, will give travel advice, will also greet everyone warmly, breakfast is great and very home away from home experience. Going to play cave rafting will also provide towels to us, although Watomo is small, but the human touch is very strong. Next time I come to play, I will stay for a long time ～ Recommend the meal at Tomo restaurant next to it, great!"

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

"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"

"Perfect family hotel The owner is very enthusiastic. We arrived at 10 o'clock in the evening. He put the key, map and check-in guide in the mailbox for us. It is a ten-minute drive from the glowworm cave, a five-minute walk from the door is a super delicious rock barbecue, and a ten-minute walk is the glowworm cave museum. The loft we stayed in was very comfortable and warm. The next day, he enthusiastically asked if we needed to change towels. Information here is to check out at 10 o'clock. After checking out, we took the ingredients we bought to the public kitchen to make breakfast. Pots, pans, dishwashing liquid, cooking oil, salt and pepper are all available. There is also an unbeatable view. I really love this place. Highly recommended."

"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 sanitation of the hotel is very general, and the cups used by the guests have not been washed. At that time, there was no public toilet and shower room at the time of booking, and there was a feeling of being cheated."

"Excellent place. Wonderful view in the mountains. The best place I have stayed at New Zealand so far. Thanks 👍🏻 for wonderful hosting"

"Easy check-in, staff are easily contactable. If you are arriving after front desk hours, just give them a call. Easily instructions will be given. Room is spacious. TV has the lodge's netflix account, so you may want to check in early :)) Only concern is door lock is one-way, recommend owner to consider better locks since right outside of the room door is the car park."

"Great location, nice view over the valley. Very quiet setting, making for a restful stay. Rooms were very clean and well provided. Breakfast was more than ample."
