We were looking for an overnight stay during our travel from Napier to Auckland. The Waitomo Lodge is conveniently located on the edge of the small town of Te Kuiti, which provides convenient stores, Cafes & many Takeaway options. It is also a short drive to the famous Waitomo Caves. The Lodge itself had a Warm & Welcoming ambience. The gentleman (who I would assume was the Property Manager), greeted us with a great big smile and genuine personality. Rooms were clean, spacious and fully equipped with all the basics. TV's in both main room & kids room had Netflix, etc. Beds & Pillows were lovely and comfortable, best sleep all week!! Traffic, particularly big trucks, could make the stay a bit noisy (we were a bit further off the main road, would hate to be in unit 1 or 2). Full blockout curtains would just take this room to the next level of comfort. Thank you!

The room was spacious (Room 10), good amenities, netflix, a good supply of tea & coffee, and a comfy bed. The only dislike was the 3:37am train that woke me up.

Spacious, reasonably-priced, clean and comfortable accommodations for our family of 4. Nice kitchenette and clean bathroom with amenities. Pleasant front desk staff. Quick drive into town for dining options. Was a quick stop over in our travels, and met all our needs. . There is some road/train noise but it wasn't too bothersome for pur family. Overall a very nice and well-maintained place to stay.

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!

A nice place to sleep
My favorite thing about Waitomo Lodge is the toiletries. It would be nice if there was a shelf in the shower area to place said toiletries. They were eco friendly and of good quality. The air conditioner works very good too. The only down part is at night, the neighbor’s security light shown brightly outside our window. It came on right as we were going to sleep.
