Everything was amazing! Carolyn was incredibly friendly and kind, super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself was fantastic - charming, cosy, and functional with exceptional views (from so many rooms!). The property gardens were beautiful and the outdoor areas were absolutely perfect - there was lots of rain/wind on the days we were there but the outdoor areas were so great it didn't hinder our stay at all! (Well protected from elements, stunning views and comfy chairs!) Fireplace was amazing and Carolyn provided plenty of firewood for us. Great location as well- only 15mins from the waitomo caves/restaurants etc. yet we still had beautiful privacy up in the mountains! Overall we loved every part! Location, views, charm, and super comfy beds!! Great stay for couples, friends, families, holidays and little getaways! Carolyn was an exceptional host and the home was fantastic - we will definitely be back!

Very clean facilities, and the park is set up so that the pool and playground are in view of most of the cabins and powered sites. Staff were friendly and helpful with late check in. Very close to the Waitomo caves.

Stayed in the train and it was more spacious than original thought. LOVED the view from the windows. Kids loved the countryside. Beds were comfortable and the aircon was a plus. Super close to the caves.

I loved my stay at this gorgeous, well maintained farm. As you drive in you can feel the love for detail that went into every corner. The older gentlemen gave me a hearty welcome. The room and the bed was comfy. (in particular the super cozy woolen blankets made we wanna stay in bed the morning). Communal shower&toilet was in camping style but clean. Wifi worked like a charme. The cabins don't have electricity, so lighting ain't the greatest, and the one charging point in the communal area is switched off after 10 pm. So I struggled a bit with working on my laptop and keeping my phone charged. But that's a minor thing. Here you really just want to sit on the little porches and sip a cold beer to wind down while watching sheep, ducks and stunning sunsets. ♥️

We stayed in the ship. It was fun for our children and we could look at the other accommodation. There's a few farm animals around which the kids enjoyed meeting

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

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.
