This motel was great, a short drive to the Waitomo caves and the staff were very nice. A microwave in the room was also fantastic! The room was cosy warm an the bed was comfortable. It was very much like staying in a winter lodge up top a mountain.

My partner and I stayed at the Waitomo lodge on a quiet Friday night. Our room was number 9, situated along the back of the motel with an outlook onto the little river from the balcony. It was a lovely, clean, warm, modern room with a large comfy king bed and a single bed as well. We couldnt hear a... More

Close to the wedding venue we were attending & lots of other attractions- good value, great parking, really friendly helpful reception, great rooms, clean, modern, spacious, comfortable big bed, great shower!

The Waitomo lodge is a 15 minute drive from the caves. We booked their super-deluxe suite so we could have a kitchen and spa bath, because we anticipated our caving experience to be cold! Cost was $175 a night. The truth is, the rooms are so well insulated, we didn't need the bath to warm up. There's also a communal... More

Stayed here one night before visiting the caves at Waitomo. Motel unit very spacious, well lit and modern, only minuses were cobwebs and bugs in light fittings and occasional noise from the Railway behind. Didn't cause us any loss of sleep, guess it depends on train schedules. Superb cafe opposite for breakfast. They recommended a sports bar in town for... More

Stayed only one night so we could visit the caves. Super modern and clean. We were upgraded to room that had a small sitting area, so our room was pretty big. Small kitchenette, big shower with good water pressure. Bed was huge!!!! And so comfortable!! I definitely could have used another night in that bed. AC was nice to have... More

We loved this motel - the staff were friendly, offering use of towels for our cave black water rafting tour. Great sized rooms, laundry, good proximity to caves and has a supermarket a short walk away. I would definitely recommend this motel to other travellers and it was nice not to be in the Waitomo town. Check out the park... More

Travelled all over the south and north island these last couple of weeks and hands down this is the best, value for money 4 star motel accommodation we experienced in New Zealand. Found that it was furnished and built for the most part out of plywood very interesting and the staff were both professional and friendly.
