The location was at the top of the mountain with a magnificent view. The cabin had everything you could need, nestled amongst a much loved garden. Carolyn was very friendly and welcoming as was Lacey the dog. It was just so peaceful and private. A unique experience in nature.

Fantastic location and really well run. Facilities have everything you need.
Really appreciate the owners' suggestions on spots to visit in the area. They gave us detailed directions and a map, and lent us torches to go for a night walk and see the glowworms outside the caves (for free!).
Would absolutely stay again

We booked a room for 1 night here and the stay was fabulous. Our hosts were delightful and we felt at home here. The room comes with an ensuite bathroom and had a side entrance towards the parking lots. Breakfast was provided (you had to indicate interest the evening before) and you are bound to be full after breakfast!
The experience felt like us returning home to visit our grans, leaving us stomached full and hearts warm.
P.S there is also a chonky cat residing here!!!

In summary, I felt very comfortable here. I actually wanted to use the space.
Stayed in a 6-bedder, room was big and spacious. Under bed no lock / closure but I like that cuz i can access my things a lot more conveniently and has a lot more height and space to store things.
Appreciate the small details like spare chairs in the room, a small mirror, the extension cord in the room etc.
Showers were bright and good. Restrooms clean. Kitchen very well-equipped and clean. Has fridge and freezer. Great community lounge hall and views.
Most importantly, the people who run the place are awesome and welcoming and genuinely want their guests to have a good time in Waitomo. Ask them for recommendations before you book attractions. The guest mix I had while staying 1-night there was also so wonderful and I really had a good night there that I will remember.

Lovely owners; very helpful directing us to local bar (friendly and cheap steaks) and suggested we did a river walk in the dark to see glow worms - brilliant.
Long chat about the clear skies.
Ideal Motel when visiting the Glow Worm Caves.
Brilliant.

I have visited a few other caves and I was disappointed that there were not many glow worms to see. I would not recommend this trip however if you haven't visited many caves then you may enjoy it. After the visit we drove to a waterfall not far from the caves and this was good.

The have a small kitchen, with gas oven cooker, fridge.
There are two bedrooms. Double bed. and the other has bunks.
The shower is very small. Big outdoor bathtub! We stayed there as we visited Waitomo Caves the next day. We bought our own food to cook.

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great.
Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids.
Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

My first trip was 45 years ago.
My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.
