The hotel is in a great location for the Waitomo Caves, the waterfall, the Natural Bridge, and just nice rolling hills. Our room was secluded and had everything we needed for our stay. The property has nice vegetation and a nice deck to sit on.

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.

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

10/10

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!

10/10

Great option for people who want to see the caves. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
