Requested room off the road and was accommodated. Room was very quiet and clean. Staff were super friendly, loaned us a steamer from their house. Kitchen was great, unit was roomy, could use a bit of updating but comfortable and convenient.

The property was clean and well kept. Was just looking for somewhere to spend the night and the cost was affordable with the room being very clean

8/10 Very good

Nice and clean, family friendly

Margaret was super friendly. We had a nice 2-bedroom with kitchenette. Not super fancy, but clean and had everything we needed. Good location only 5 minutes from the Kiwi house and 15 minutes from the Glow worm caves. There's a small pool, which was nice.
Rita, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a very enjoyable stay: friendly staff, very quiet room with no traffic noise. Clean room,comfortable bed and nice bathroom with high pressure shower. Wifi would have been useful plus a small jug, so we can refill the kettle as the bathroom sink is too small to fit the kettle under the tap.
Maxine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The welcome and check in were exceptional. Margaret was absolutely lovely. The room was great. Well presented and very clean. Only complaint is that is quite noisy and there was a group that were up all night and so bad we left at 4am
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The manager was so wonderful and helpful. I would recommend this motel to any travelers. It was centrally located to most of the sightseeing in the North Island, kiwi house, glow worm caves, geo thermal geysers, botanical gardens, shopping and places to eat. Our bed was very comfortable, the other 2 which the kids used were too soft for them so we took them back to their tiny house. Check in and check out was extremely easy. I give these accommodations a 10 plus.
Betty, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, handy to Waitomo. Didn't like that the lights were on outside (all the rooms) all night, apparently they are solar so obviously cannot be turned off, but we were kept awake most of the night by the light shining straight into the room. The mattress was very hard and we had to ask for more pillows as were just given two. Staff lovely and helpful and accommodating.

4/10 Fair

Expensive, poor lighting, very basic room, no face cloths, overall disappointing
Bill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location. Quiet with no traffic noise. Pool was great esp on those hot days. Playground equipment was old and tired. Swing set is for smaller kids only. Trampoline had no safety mats or side walls and was next to the swingset on an uneven slope. Rooms were fairly basic. Suitable if you are wanting a budget type, simple and functional room. No shampoo, conditioner or body wash provided so best to bring yourself.

8/10 Very good

Clean and tidy with cooking facilities
Janet, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A good place to stay in Otorohanga near to Waitomo Caves. We stayed as a family and the two bedroom unit is quite functional, with enough towels and kitchen utensils provided for 5 people (bed #5 is in the living area, with 2 separate bedrooms). It's a beautiful semi-rural outlook at the back, with nice views, though steep - right on the side of a hill. Despite being on a highway it was beautifully quiet at night, and dark, with minimal light coming in which was a plus. Staff are friendly and helpful. But there are some shortcomings. The property is quite old - the key looks positively ancient, and it didn't feel all that secure. Sheets on the beds are too small and keep coming off - had to leave the heating on at night (which worked OK). The worst bit was the shower though - the floor is so slippery it's actually a hazard, several of us nearly slipped over in there. This definitely needs some attention.
Glenn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a pleasant overnight stay. Very clean and efficient checkin. Value compared to metro accommodation is lacking, but in all a sound place to stop when visiting the area.
Rob, 1-night trip
