"We spent two nights in Waitomo, and so happy they were spent at the Village Chalet. The room was very comfortable. Comfy bed. Heater kept us warm as temperatures dropped at night. Balcony a nice amenity to enjoy the rare sunny days. Very quiet at night.
Erik and Lisa are superb hosts. Long before we booked the room they were giving us advice about getting to and around Waitomo. This was a stop off along the Northern Explorer train and because it’s off season transport to Waitomo is virtually impossible to arrange. Erik and Lisa generously offered to pick us up and then take us back to the train. It was a “vacation” saver. We enjoyed the glow worm caves even more knowing our transport needs were sorted.
We highly recommend staying here. It’s a small town but the local pub serves up delicious food and the general store makes a lovely cup of coffee. If we ever find ourselves in Waitomo again we will definitely stay here."
"Very fun experience, we lived in the front side of airplane. Space is a little small, but fun experience. The front desk guy is super helpful and recommended some good food for us."
"We LOVED our stay! We were offered dinner - a chicken and potato curry- which we took them up on. It was by far the best meal I’ve had in NZ- home cooked, tasty and so flavourful! We loved the garden area and the deck. It was one of our best stays. 100 percent recommended!!"
"Cabin has a bad smell (note on wall stated it was recently varnished but did not have this smell). Shower went hot then cold on and off which made for a very unpleasant experience. Overall i would recommend to get an ensuite and skip the cabin to stay. Friendly staff but overall not a pleasant stay for the price."
