Pleasantly surprised

I was a bit leery about booking this lodge since i dont usually stay at motels. I booked it because there weren't many options available in waitomo and from what was available, this place had the best rating and looked ok. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised once we checked in. The room was spacious, very clean, had a kitchenette, good size fridge, lots of toiletries. We were able to use the laundry room ($4 NZD per machine). Check in was easy. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Assigned parking right in front of the room too. Only stayed 1 night but i would say this place is a very good option for anyone looking to stay a while in Waitomo.

Walls were thin, if you’re a light sleeper that might be a problem with the noise from the road. Otherwise was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

We had a rental car so this property made a good lodging option for the Waitomo Caves area, which is about a 15-minute drive. The "river" deck (I think we rented a "premium king") is a deck with not much river. The room was clean and had housekeeping. It was equipped with dishes and utensils. There is a coffee cafe right across the street. 4 minutes to the main drag with a number of food options. Driving tip: Take the time to get off the highway and experience the countryside roads.

A nice little spot just out of town. Theres a park over the road where you can walk up the overlooking hill for great views all around, a nice cafe too. Trucks make a lot of noise and shake the property as the go past very very regularly day and night and theres the occasional train ttoo. If you can live with that, its a nice spot. Stayed there twice now. Will stay again.

The young lady at the front desk was so cordial and most helpful. The rooms are cleaned very well, and as much as I travel I know what cleaned well is. Highly recommend this location if you’re traveling through beautiful New Zealand.
