Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge is located in the centre of Waitomo Caves Village. Guests enjoy a large continental breakfast, which is served buffet-style in the dining room, overlooking lovely views of the countryside.

The hosts were lovely and helped us find us activities all around and in the village. The breakfast was great with view on the beautiful garden (or in the garden when not raining). The cabins are nicely furnished and perfect for a short stay but the electrical blanket takes the biscuit.

Set just 7.4 km from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Nadarra Hideaway offers accommodation in Otorohanga with access to barbecue facilities, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

This place is AMAZING! The cabin gives the feel of glamping with an amazing view, a mini fireplace, and the wooden interior design. The bed was really comfy and the breakfast was great with a variety and fresh jams. My partner and I needed some help to use the fireplace (as it needed to use oil), and the owner was really kind to give us a hand. We were also greeted by cows, sheep, and one friendly dog when we arrived, which was really nice!! Would have LOVED to stay longer and I'd highly recommend this place especially if you're a nature & animal lover.

    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.
