We spent 1 night here as we toured the caves in the area. The proprietors were very friendly and chatty, and happy to give us advice about things to do in the area. Breakfast was delicious, the room was comfortable. Definitely would recommend.

Lovely hosts who helped us with our luggage and were helpful with information about the area. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable, and having Netflix was a nice bonus. Continental style breakfast was perfect with ample choices available. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

8/10 Very good

Lyn was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Lovely quiet, peaceful space. Only one issue initially was the room could have been aired prior to my arrival as it had a slight musty smell. Easily fixed though with window open a little. However I do acknowledge that due to the rainy weather airing the room could have been difficult. I would definitely recommend this property.

Richy and Lyn were amazing and kind people. They welcomed us into their home, told us about their town, and took an interest in our lives. The room was extremely clean and the book of menus & suggestions was phenomenal. Best experience we had in New Zealand!

8/10 Very good

Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge was a decent place to stay - but it didn't reach 5-star quality (which for me required a little more luxury and space). Our room had a slightly saggy queen bed plus a separate twin bed. There was not enough room to lay down the suitcases except on the twin bed. Not sure how people managed if there actually were 3 people in the room. There was a small fridge, small round table with two narrow chairs and one easy chair by the door. Shower water pressure was excellent although the shower itself needed sprucing up. The sink was small, so one had to be careful not to turn the water up too high or risk splashing. The lighting set up over the sink was slightly strange - there were 3 small high intensity halogen lights pointing at you. I overheard a guest at breakfast saying that she got a burn trying to re-direct the lamps... Although our room was near the highway, it was quiet because there was no traffic on the road at night (until about 6AM). Breakfast a little skimpy - continental fare with a slightly limp croissant and toast. Coffee a little weak. There was yogurt, fruit and cereal/muesli. The host Richy was very friendly and informative. One could tell that he was fond of his town!

Lyn and Richey are wonderful hosts. They shared a wealth of information about the area and the beautiful birds they have at this time of year. They had a lovely continental breakfast and were warm, welcoming, and generous. Though we were only there one night, we had a great stay.
