Great place to stay near worm caves
Lovely stay! Convenient to visit the Worm Caves and near good restaurants. The woman at check in was so warm and welcoming. Plenty of space to spread out as a family and the bathroom was very large!

The young lady at the front desk was so cordial and most helpful. The rooms are cleaned very well, and as much as I travel I know what cleaned well is. Highly recommend this location if you’re traveling through beautiful New Zealand.

Clean and comfortable stay
We only stayed for one night at Waitomo Lodge but quite enjoyed it. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Check in and out was straightforward. After reading previous reviews we put our headphones on before going to sleep and didn't hear any trains, had a very good night sleep.
