"Extremely warm and welcoming staff, and room was great."

"Angus greeted us on arrival and showed us around the property to make sure we found everything. He was full of advice on the many activities in the area, we would have needed to stay longer to check everything out. He even showed us his fossil collection. I was sad to leave, he took such good care of us, and made us feel like family. Our family group rented all three accommodations for two nights. Angus supplied a crib cot in one of the cabins for our youngest. The glamping tent was perfect for the toddler, low beds, and rugs over the floor. The cabins were well equipped for preparing a light breakfast, which was supplied. Juice, yogurt, cold cereal, and toast with butter, marmalade and jelly. Freshly ground coffee in a press and hot chocolate powder. They even supplied marshmallows to toast over the outside firepit. The bathrooms for the cabins are located outside the cabins, but don't worry, you walk on the deck to get to them, and the way is covered. For the tent you do need to walk in the weather, but it includes a tub on the deck, great for soaking in the view. The kitchenette for the glamping tent is outside the tent with a bar area to watch the sunrise as you sip your coffee. Check out their Instagram for pictures of the views! The units are situated on top of a ridge so you get sunset and sunrise. We even had a view from the bathroom. The private glowworm grotto was a treat. And there were sheep and cattle in the fields.

"it's about a trully hostel with pros and cons we reserved a 4beds private room with a very small private bathroom whose cleaning may be improved a good amount of refurbishing would return a better general impression water in the small pool was hazy parking is available for free caves are at a little walk across the village where restaurants are available"

"Located directly opposite the Glowworm Caves, this lodge offers an unbeatable strategic advantage. The rooms are spotless, the terrace views are stunning, and the homemade breakfast is exceptional. The staff is genuinely warm and family-friendly. It’s the most efficient and comfortable choice for a seamless Waitomo experience."

"The place looks a bit rundown but overall the stay is comfortable and quiet."

"Great location, right beside the Waitomo Glowworm Cave and Waitomo Zipline. Great value, neat and clean."
