Waitomo Lodge

Easy check-in, staff are easily contactable. If you are arriving after front desk hours, just give them a call. Easily instructions will be given. Room is spacious. TV has the lodge's netflix account, so you may want to check in early :)) Only concern is door lock is one-way, recommend owner to consider better locks since right outside of the room door is the car park.

The room was clean however the bed was the worst experience we have ever had to endure in all of our travels. What appeared to be a king size bed was actually two twin beds pushed together. The mattresses were so old and uncomfortable that you could actually feel the metal springs piercing your body all night. It was quite miserable, considering all you really want to do is have a good comfortable sleep and be well rested for the next day’s adventure. The floor was bubbling up in the bathroom as well. There was no attendant when we arrived around 6:00 pm or when we left the next morning around 8:15 am. I think this property has great potential however they need to update their beds if they want any return customers or referrals.

Gorgeous place to stay. Room was large with huge bed and living area. Big well equipped bathroom. Short drive to town for some dinner. Staff were extremely friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Great spot to stay when heading out to see the glow worm caves.
