Everything was good except for the water. We made a cup of tea on arrival which tasted absolutely awful. Very concerning about the standard of the drinking water if this could be tasted even after boiling the water.

Nice rooms and location but will not stay here again. We had a booking and never were told that they were going to be cutting down trees right outside our window during the whole time we were there. It was not safe, it was noisy and it was not nice having workers right outside our bedroom window. And they would not stop the work when we asked them to pause it until we left the next day. Not an ideal holiday situation.

Walking distance to Waitomo caves. Barely any other guests because I came during the off season. They said checkout was at 10am but my bus to leave Waitomo didn’t come until 4 so the host let me stay in the room for an extra half day without any extra fees. Breakfast was good, good variety of stuff for the price. Great for solo travelers or families with kids. There’s a restaurant nearby that I went to for dinner, it was also great.

Excellent location for visiting the caves. Cabins are well maintained as are the other facilities. Walkable to general store and up to the cave visitor centre. The gentleman on reception was exceptionally welcoming and helpful.
