This property was a real gem! Sweet, clean motel - quite adorable really. Comfortable beds, great amenities. I only wish the weather was better to access the lovely little balcony by the river!
The room is very spacious, clean, well equipped and the parking was easy. The place is well located in town so it's hard to miss, and many eating options nearby.
This is a very nice place to stay. Large rooms and very quiet. The only slight problem is that the shower doesn't have a shower curtain and there is no soap holder.
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.
A very odd motel. Very clean, no complaints there. And the best pillows that we had in a total of 14 accommodations. But the whole set up was very unappealing. Left me wondering if it used to be a work camp of some sort in the past.

We spent 1 night at this property. If you overlook some small things like a broken sink, floors that are taped down and broken furniture , you’ll be just fine. It’s clean, friendly and close to the things we wanted to do. Not bad, just needs a little upkeep and maintenance. I would stay here again.
There is no mention on the site about the trains tracks that run directly behind the property.and the River view is more a creek which you couldnt really see because of the overgrown grass and trees. It was clean and had everything we needed for our one night stay. the bed was comfortable.

The room itself was great. Really appreciated the mini chocolates and water. The outlook (we booked the “river view”). You can only see the railway line over an unkempt garden. A shame. Lady at check in was lovely.
Not so good ! Room #10 had an air conditioning that was set high and behind the balcony curtains, so running the aircon meant having open curtains to the sunlight and with no privacy.
Also the shower had no racks for soap, shampoos etc….
Property Location is good. It’s spacious and good with clean linens and towels. Absolutely recommend. It’s close to the road so you can hear cars pass by every time even at night. We just turned on some white noise and slept through the night. Other than that we had an excellent stay..
Lovely clean open spaced rooms friendly helpful staff with good communication 👏
We were just passing thu to Auckland and wanted to break up the trip this was perfect for us to stop at 😃

It just felt very institutional, especially the bathroom.
I was a bit leery about booking this lodge since i dont usually stay at motels. I booked it because there weren't many options available in waitomo and from what was available, this place had the best rating and looked ok. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised once we checked in. The room was spacious, very clean, had a kitchenette, good size fridge, lots of toiletries. We were able to use the laundry room ($4 NZD per machine). Check in was easy. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Assigned parking right in front of the room too. Only stayed 1 night but i would say this place is a very good option for anyone looking to stay a while in Waitomo.
