Everything was amazing! Carolyn was incredibly friendly and kind, super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself was fantastic - charming, cosy, and functional with exceptional views (from so many rooms!). The property gardens were beautiful and the outdoor areas were absolutely perfect - there was lots of rain/wind on the days we were there but the outdoor areas were so great it didn't hinder our stay at all! (Well protected from elements, stunning views and comfy chairs!)
Fireplace was amazing and Carolyn provided plenty of firewood for us. Great location as well- only 15mins from the waitomo caves/restaurants etc. yet we still had beautiful privacy up in the mountains! Overall we loved every part! Location, views, charm, and super comfy beds!! Great stay for couples, friends, families, holidays and little getaways! Carolyn was an exceptional host and the home was fantastic - we will definitely be back!
Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge is located in the centre of Waitomo Caves Village.

Literally everything! From start to finish. This was the start of our stay in New Zealand as we had travelled from Singapore and then Australia. We were ready to relax and unwind. If you want to stay somewhere with amazing views and the amenities you need then this is your place!

Go feed the lambs, play tennis, do your laundry, use the cleanest and most spacious kitchen to bake pizza and bread (no joke, we did that as they have everything, even cheese knives!). Don’t just stay for the caves, stay a little longer as it’s such a lovely, calming place!

Loved that we were left to our own and were able to enjoy the peace and quiet, my kids loved the little park you have and really enjoyed feeding the pigs.

We booked a room for 1 night here and the stay was fabulous. Our hosts were delightful and we felt at home here. The room comes with an ensuite bathroom and had a side entrance towards the parking lots. Breakfast was provided (you had to indicate interest the evening before) and you are bound to be full after breakfast!
The experience felt like us returning home to visit our grans, leaving us stomached full and hearts warm.
P.S there is also a chonky cat residing here!!!

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great.
Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids.
Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

There are two bedrooms. Double bed. and the other has bunks.
The shower is very small. Big outdoor bathtub! We stayed there as we visited Waitomo Caves the next day. We bought our own food to cook.

My first trip was 45 years ago.
My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water...
We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Experience Waitomo Caves and it was amazing! Our guides, Garret & Alicia, were fun, helpful, informative, and made sure were were safe in the cave & the water; this is is a must do! They take pictures for you because it would be impossible to float in a tube & take pictures yourself.
