We stayed in the Hobbit hut #2 and would totally recommend it, and will definitely stay there again when in NZ. Best shower pressure of all the hotels we stayed at in NZ. Spacious interior. You'd definitely need a car to get there but it's worth the drive. The unit has a Queen bed in the main room and 2... More

I can't praise Woodlyn Park enough. My husband and I stayed two nights in the self catering Hobbit Motel in the most unusual but most fantastic accommodation ever. We chose the Hobbit Motel because I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan and I was able to 'live' my dream. The accommodation was great, very clean, had well kitted... More

We only stayed one night in a hobbit room. Very nice, good kitchenette and room amenities. To stay there for the unique experience, price is a little steep, but for a family it would be unbelievable value, our room sleep at least 6-8 people. Awesome view and surrounding area. Close to caves, and a very small town that shuts down... More

What a fantastic experience. The setup is so funky, a plane, a boat, a train carriage and two hobbit houses. We chose the Hobbit Houses based on the look and the appeal and we were not let down. The service and assistance onsite has been first rate, the accommodation is tidy clean and really quirky. The location is perfect for... More

If you're staying with kids in Waitomo, this has to be your first choice. Not for it's luxury, but for its novelty value. Magnificent views, intriguing accommodation, you'll remember you stayed here forever. We woke up in the Hobbit room to find a donkey and warthog on our roof! Kids loved it and actually the rooms are just fine. The... More

A family of 3 staying in the Captains Cabin, you're not going to get a 5 star hotel experience, you're going to get a unique piece of Kiwiana, the result of one mans vision and work. We stayed 3 nights & did the show as well. This place is a kids dream, both big and small, there are lots of... More

i checked in for a night at woodlyn park with my family last week.We were very traumatised by the poor hygiene of the plane motel.It is absolutely the dirtiest motel we have ever came across in our 2 weeks stay in auckland.The bedsheets and comforter were smelly and dirty.The portable kettle was extremely mouldy and rusty.Even washing it with lemon...

We stayed on the ship which was clean, comfortable and fun. The kiwi culture show was really outstanding and as a kiwi myself it was fascinating to learn so much. The animals were fantastic as was the host 'Billy Black.' Located close to town we enjoyed fantastic food at huhu cafe (dinner and lunch!) and overall had a really enjoyable... More

We stayed in the hobbit room and it was perfectly adequate, with comfortable furnishings and it was clean apart from the interesting rustic artworks with a thick coating of dust. Really had the sense that you are mainly paying quite a bit over the odds for the novelty, which is fine if you think it is worth it. But once... More
