Lodge Waitomo Boutique Lodge

256 Waipuna Road, 3985 Waitomo Caves, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Waitomo Boutique Lodge – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

A very classy, well-appointed home with wonderful hosts that make you feel like part of the family immediately. The breakfast and welcome tea were delicious and perfectly complemented a long day outdoors. Location is exceptional, and we felt like we should have spent more time here to experience the yard and property.

Eric, United States of America

Breakfast was amazing. Very friendly and helpful hosts!

Donna, United States of America

Leanne and Rodney were such friendly hosts. The house and property were stunning. It was fabulous to be able to spend some time on their farm and meet their pets - I wanted to take Poppy home with me!

Jenny, Australia

Lovely people! We had a great stay in this beautiful home.

Pelin, New Zealand

Breakfast was great and the views from the garden towards the volcanoes were spectacular. Our hosts were very friendly and kind.

Catherine, United Kingdom

Very charming house in the middle of a massive property. Everything is nice and cosy. My cottage was very calm and very well done. Comfort is great too (bed). Morning breakfast is huge and so good, made by the owner. I was alone but i recommend this cottage to couple....very romantic. The view is stunning over this region (if clear weather, you can see even Coromandel or Tangariro) and above the hills far away. More than everything, the very warm welcoming of the 2 owners was incredible. So nice and friendly people...and i may say that after touring in NZ, the Kiwis people is very friendly...go there!

Yves, France

VERY gracious and enjoyable hosts and excellent hospitality and breakfast. Superb high farm setting with incredible views.

Nigel, United Kingdom

The location was chosen to be close to the caves (30 mins still) and in a farmhouse for our 3yo, unfortunately we had a stormy weather which made the experience less worthwhile as we couldn’t step outside.

Christine, Switzerland

This location is essentially a bed and breakfast. The hosts were very friendly but still respected our need for privacy. The family accommodation we booked was enormous and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the private open fire place which had a crackling fire burning away when we entered the room. This location is on a working farm, and the surrounding fields and forests are a joy to behold, while the enormous gardens immediately surrounding the house are beautiful and exquisitely maintained.

Chris, Australia

The hosts were just beautiful - so lovely to meet them and learn about their farm and family.

The toilet was downstairs from the bedrooms accessed by a spiral staircase. This was tricky during the middle of the night! We couldn’t recommend this arrangement to someone with mobility issues.
Breakfast was great and the views from the garden towards the volcanoes were spectacular. Our hosts were very friendly and kind.

Our only negative would be that it is not in Waitomo Caves, as billed, but 20 kms outside, 10 kms on a normal paved road, followed by 10 kms on an unpaved road, in all about 35-40 minutes. You need to have dinner before returning in the evening.
VERY gracious and enjoyable hosts and excellent hospitality and breakfast. Superb high farm setting with incredible views.

We were charged an extra 95 Dollars on top of an already expensive room rate for our 3yo although she slept in an existing bed in our room. We also experienced some smaller inconveniences in the loft (room not as nice as described in my view) and it was therefore not up to price and expectations.
