"The owners of the Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge were absolutely delightful. Richie gave us lots of great information about Waitomo and great tips to enjoy the area. We greatly enjoyed the hospitality and the stay. "

"Amazing how they were able to equip the train carriage with modern amenities while retaining the original charm. Bath was an add on unit with full fixtures but integrated with the train. Good AC and heating options and nice kitchenette. Check out the fabulous Hobbit and ferrry boat options."

"Very convenient for me in the circumstances. Chris was very friendly and welcoming."

"Nice accommodations and we enjoyed the fresh eggs and toast.It was close to the highway so was pretty loud from the cars passing. We were able to sleep well with earplugs however.Would stay again."

"My family stayed here for two nights. This location is just around the corner from the caves, but is secluded. An excellent place to stay to avoid the crowds. The hostess responds fairly quickly to questions. I highly recommend going on the farm tour if you can - the tour is usually included for people staying at one of the hostess's properties, and includes the opportunity to meet sheep, cows, goats, alpacas, emus, and ostriches. It was very fun! I also highly recommend turning off all the lights and heading out on the porch late at night if you can; the location is very far away from light pollution, which means that you can see many more stars than most people are typically able to.There weren't really any downsides to our stay, although there are a few things to be aware of. First, the driveway is very steep and a bit tight, so be careful when driving up. Second, the house is a bit older, so if you can't stand bugs or you need recently renovated appliances, I would find somewhere else to stay (but if you don't mind those things, the house is very lovely!). Third, the house would probably be very difficult, if not impossible, to access for wheelchair users.All in all, I highly recommend this location for visitors! "
