Waitomo Lodge

Love the accommodation. It was really clean and spacious. We had a really nice view of the river and railway. It is a quiet place most times, although there will be trains passing by (even at night). My husband and I didn't mind the noise, so no complaints from us. There is also parking assigned for each room. Might be easy to miss their signboard at night. It's not well lit. But it is just along the main road so it's easy to find

Just what I needed the room was awesome. Very clean and tidy, to have complementary water and chocolate bars was a nice touch thank you. The very kind lady on reception was wonderful very efficient and friendly. Thank you Steve B

Wasn’t sure where to stay on our self drive but near the Glow worms needed something. This is small, right near eateries, has easy parking and clean rooms. There was a $10 charge for our third person, my child.|Water was warm. Heater works well. Milk in fridge and microwave and water heater in room.|10am checkout.

The River view rooms are an excellent place for a few rest/recovery days during a Te Araroa hike. Sun, birds, trees, and quiet during the day. Clean and comfortable. Grocery stores nearby.

This motel doesn't look like much on the outside but the room is spacious with a balcony . There was a sofa, large bed , kitchenette, tv with access to Netflix and basic but clean bathroom . The light shade could do with a clean but overall the room was clean . Parking outside the room. Was value for money and I would recommend for a short stop.

Gorgeous place to stay. Room was large with huge bed and living area. Big well equipped bathroom. Short drive to town for some dinner. We had delicious food from Miss India. Staff were extremely friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Great spot to stay when heading out to see the glow worm caves. Cute shops situated a short walk away. We had a room at the back and Eve railway didn’t bother us at all. Peaceful outlook was perfect for us!

Nice room, comfy bed, good bathroom with nice body products supplied. We were able to prepare a basic meal for 4of us with the kitchenette.Our room was beautifully serviced while we were out, we stayed two nights. Noise and vibration from the road was a big problem and we were situated right next to the rubbish bin which wafted a bit. Being a state highway, the noise and vibration went all night. It might be nicer if you had a room in the middle of the complex.

Lovely clean and welcoming room and bathroom. Staff were respectful, professional and kind.

The only reason we stayed here was to visit the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, otherwise there is nothing to do in this town. The room was large but the walls are a little thin. The room was chilly. We were given a room with wheelchair access so the bathroom shower wet the entire bathrrom, but on a bright side, it was a huge bathroom. You have to pay for internet, $5 for 50 mb. We opted not to get it. Instead we ate across the street (Bosco Cafe) which gave us 10mb for free with purchase. There is nothing good to eat nearby. We found a supermarket in town to buy some food. Otherwise, you are stuck eating Chinese fast food in the area. Free parkng.

Adorable and clean. We had a room with a first floor balcony and kitchenette. At $130 it was cheaper than what was offered closer to the Waitomo Caves. The train track behind had two trains go by but I thought it was cute and didn't really mind the noise. It's also close to town and within walking distance of a cafe and a grocery store. And wifi was free (I think it was 100mB.) I recommend the Indian food place in town (the menu was in the room and the call was free)...it was one of the better Indian places I've had in a while. Also they sell $5 made-in-NZ soap bars. I bought two soaps in the shape of sheep to give as souvenirs.
