Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge was a decent place to stay - but it didn't reach 5-star quality (which for me required a little more luxury and space). Our room had a slightly saggy queen bed plus a separate twin bed. There was not enough room to lay down the suitcases except on the twin bed. Not sure how people managed if there actually were 3 people in the room. There was a small fridge, small round table with two narrow chairs and one easy chair by the door. Shower water pressure was excellent although the shower itself needed sprucing up. The sink was small, so one had to be careful not to turn the water up too high or risk splashing. The lighting set up over the sink was slightly strange - there were 3 small high intensity halogen lights pointing at you. I overheard a guest at breakfast saying that she got a burn trying to re-direct the lamps... Although our room was near the highway, it was quiet because there was no traffic on the road at night (until about 6AM). Breakfast a little skimpy - continental fare with a slightly limp croissant and toast. Coffee a little weak. There was yogurt, fruit and cereal/muesli. The host Richy was very friendly and informative. One could tell that he was fond of his town!

Lyn and Richey are wonderful hosts. They shared a wealth of information about the area and the beautiful birds they have at this time of year. They had a lovely continental breakfast and were warm, welcoming, and generous. Though we were only there one night, we had a great stay.

Very friendly owners. Helpful with sightseeing. Parking was down a small hill but safe. The room was comfortable. The bathroom was complete with shower but very small. Would stay here again.
