Neat and tidy property. Clean. Owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Would be great to get the cafe up and running again, but the Tomo pub and eatery next door had good food!

Eric at the desk was incredibly sweet and hospitable. Offered us towels to borrow for black water rafting and let us store luggage after check out while we did our activities before leaving. Wonderful spot. Hope they get a chance to reopen the cafe and continue doing well after covid.

Great option near Waitomo
Cute little hotel walking distance to Waitomo Caves. This hotel exceeded our expectations -- the room was very clean and bright and looked recently redone. Very comfortable. And an easy walk from both the caves and a handful of handy restaurants and a coffee shop. The hotel manager was very nice and helpful. Would stay again!
