Despite the 'rustic' appearance outside, this was an excellent place for us to stay. The bed was VERY comfortable, the walk-in shower (both how much room and the water pressure) was a treat. And the host was very respectful and helpful. Would stay there again without hesitation!

The owner was great. She gave us suggestions for dinner, directions to the grocery store, directions to the local attractions and suggested a place to get a quick breakfast. The room was good sized, clean and neat.

The difference of the location, it is exciting to stay in a boat or airplane for the experience in comparison to just a standard motel room

    Lovely modern design and high ceiling gives a feeling of spaciousness. The motelier had thoughtfully turned on the heating as I was arriving late. TV had lots of channels including Netflix. Very quiet at night - like being out in the country. I'm not 100% sure but I could hear bird callling at night and wondering if it was Kiwi? Look forward to staying here again. Property was well maintained. Nice outdoor balcony area to sit outside.

    Waitomo is a motor lodge and has no breakfast facility, however Bosco Cafe across the road was very good. I would describe Waitomo as more up scale rustic as motor lodges go. The room is large and spacious and includes nice skin care products. The staff was very nice and asked if we required additional items. Paid laundry on the premises was great.

    Waitomo is a beautiful destination, I liked that the motel was close to destination. The king sized bed and 2 singles were comfortable but squashed into a little unit. I had stayed here a couple of times before, it had always been nice, it's changed.

    It's a basic motel. Everything we needed was there and in working order, but that was really it. The beds were excellent, and it is a good place for visiting the Waitomo Caves.
