Very convenient location. Nice staff. Very clean room. Road next to motel, however, is heavily trafficked by large trucks through-out the day and night. So it was very loud.

Perfect last minute stay! Even though we did not plan on cooking, loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with all utensils and dishware. There was even a pint of fresh milk in the fridge for coffee or tea. Appreciated the bottle of water and the Whitaker’s treat when we checked in. The food recommended at Stoked Eatery was gourmet and Bosco for breakfast just hit the spot. Only suggestion is to have a little stool to place shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. Thank you!

Stayed overnight whilst visiting the glow worm caves nearby. The room was very big and spacious and also very clean. Comfy bed (bonus) and close to town. Much better than I had expected. Would recommend to anyone travelling through. 👍

Lovely stay!
Perfect stop on our way to the glow worm caves. Clean and comfortable with a great coffee shop for breakfast right across the street. Not crazy about rooms with carpet but all good. Was nice and bright.

Decent place for a quick stopover
Just needed a place to sleep for the night while on the way to Waitomo Caves. Decent room; good size, good internet reception and adequate television reception. Balcony with chairs out back. Toaster, microwave and coffeemaker if you need a quick breakfast in the room. Seemed like there was a bbq grill outside that might be shared use. Parking is a bit tight as it seems like a place where roadworks crews stay overnight so there were a lot of truck vehicles there. Felt safe though with all those burly guys close by! Desk clerk very friendly and helpful; recommended dinner at Stoked Eatery and that was good and close by.

This is a good option for those going to see the glow worm caves. The units were clean and it was nice to have the kitchen facilities. It’s not luxurious, but it is a good value and we had a nice stay.

Being on the main road it was easy to find this property. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and the room was very clean and well-provisioned. Receiving chocolates and bottled water upon arrival was a nice touch. From here it is an easy, short and pleasant walk into the town.

The room was really nice and great! Large bedroom and large bathroom. Everything was super clean and updated. One of the nicest rooms we stayed at on our trip. Highly recommend. Only downside was the road noice. Think most was from construction down the road.

This is a great place to stay if you are in Te Kuiti. The room was very spacious and had a nice view of the river next door. The only problem was that the wifi was a bit sporadic , but the manager assured me that would be fixed. I would definitely stay there again.

The outside later at night was not so inviting - but the inside of the unit was large, clean and welcoming. Nice view from the rear deck with gardens and stream. Can’t do much with the rumbling trains from the track across the other side of stream. Would stay again.

Don't let the pictures dissuade you
We had a great stay at the Waitomo Lodge! The posted pictures of the outside (parking lot) don't do this place justice at all. Room was clean, spacious, and modern with a high ceiling and lots of light. Access to laundry facilities for a reasonable fee was a great bonus. Easy 15 minute walk from hotel into downtown Te Kuiti where there is an amazing restaurant recommended by our host (Stoked Eatery). I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice hotel, don't be fooled by the pictures.
We were pleasantly surprised by the condition of this property. When we booked the hotel, we were expecting a low quality motel from the pictures. However, the rooms are nice, clean, well equipped, nicely located by the creek.
