Best stay in Waitomo

The lodge is an excellent place to stay, and Lynn was the best host. Very close to most everything. Great veranda as well.

Get your climbing gear ready…

Property is very close to glow worm cave. The climb from the parking to your room should come with a Sherpa. I’d have packed a small overnight bag if I had known. It’s comfortable, the owners are delightful folks, and the breakfast hearty and fresh.

8/10 Very good

It is a great location for seeing the caves and natural bridge. The continental breakfast is good. Lyne is accommodating. The lodge is in a garden so, there are a few bugs and spiders. Parking is available but around the side of the lodge
Jenny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Welcoming host and comfortable stay. The room we stayed in was a bit small with 2 twins, but the aircon worked well, and the studio was very clean. My friend also lost her passport on the property and the host went out of her way to mail it at our next destination. She was very kind and responsive. Would highly recommend if you need a place to stay in this area. The price was amazing and it also included a great breakfast!
