Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge

Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Room was very clean and staff were helpful (we had some items missing from our room but this was quickly rectified). WiFi was a bit unstable. Breakfast was a help-yourself selection of cereals, toast and yogurt which was fine. Location is lovely, and the rooms and beds were comfortable. A nice place to stay."
