Convenient to Waitomo Caves
Great place to stay when visiting Waitomo Cave region. Close to a few places to eat, but not much around the area otherwise.

A super clean tidy and perfectly adequate room. We are used to DOC huts tho so anything is luxury to us. Beds we clean and comfy. Room was warm with two heaters. Simple but perfect for our hiking stay

The lodge is a bit dated. I was lucky to be alone in a room, otherwise we would have been a bit cramped, plus no cupboard or safe to put our things in. The bed wasn’t super comfy. But it was okay for one night. The extra heater was a nice thought. And the location was perfect to visit the glowworm caves.

The suite was great for the short time we were there. Lighting could have been better within, but the stay was very comfortable
