The location is unreal. The view of the farmland and valleys and volcanos in the distance is everything. We saw one of the best sunrises ever. Angus greeted us on arrival and it was clear how much pride he has in his land and how much he enjoys sharing it with others.

The property is perfectly located 10 min by car from the Waitomo Glowworm. The communication with the host is extremely smooth. We were also very positively surprised by the food in the fridge, which saved us a trip to a supermarket and a trip to a cafe in the morning for breakfast. Really appreciate it as we are traveling with a young child and this helped a lot!

    Fun themed room. We expected it to be dated but the room was spacious inside and clean. Heating was on when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. Enough towels for all of us. Very easy to be comfortable. Location is perfect for Glow Worm cave. Convenience store and pub close by for meals (Convenience store closes earlier than advertised - so get supplies early) Go to town before you check in if you need food supplies, as it's quite a long windy drive to motel

    Great value for money. Unfortunately we were just stopping for the night on our way through, but for a longer stay i would highly recommend. Full self contained dwellings, clean and tidy. Our cabin had 4 single beds in one room and a queen in the living area. Plenty for larger groups or families. Full functioning kitchen and bathroom you seriously could not ask for more

    This place certainly lives up to its name 'the view' (Te Tiro). The cottage we stayed in was cosy and comfortable for our family but we especially enjoyed exploring some of the walks on the farm and sneaking the kids out at night to see the glow worms (a two minute walk from our cottage). The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and my family all agreed that this was our favorite accommodation in New Zealand yet! I can't recommend this place enough!

    The Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge exceeded expectations. Lynn and Richy were so sweet and welcoming, we felt as if we were with family. The Rukari Bushwalk was fantastic and nearby and the Caves in general are well worth the trip. The room was clean and exactly as described. Our only regret is not spending another night at the village.

    Very fun. Husband and 3 kids were thrilled to also in an aeroplane. Basic kitchen which is perfect for us for our short stay. Only eating breakfast cereal, hot cuppa and eating out. Surrounded by bush. Heading birds. Kids loved watching the farm animals.
