Located in Waitomo Caves, a 12-minute walk from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Waitomo Village Chalets home of Kiwipaka has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace....

If you are booking waitomo caves, it’s very close. There was a restaurant in the complex as well as another a short walk away. There was also a store very near. We did spellbound glow worm tour and it was about a 5km drive. Which was okay with us. I had the best sleep of my stay while there.

Located in Waitomo Caves, 1.4 miles from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, JunoHall Backpackers provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a tennis court.

Great location, sparkling clean, common area and kitchen very orderly and well-equipped. For a family, it was nice to have the extra amenities like the tennis courts, swimming pool, and the animals! I’m glad I read the reviews so I was not surprised by the owner, who was indeed a character. Both the staff and the owner were very helpful with extra information about the area. The whole place is not soundproof, we could clearly hear the phone conversation of someone in the next room, and other guests in the early morning, walking up and down the halls. If you were a light sleeper, you might want to keep this in mind and make sure you have earplugs.

Providing complimentary private parking, Waitomo Farmstay is 4.9 miles from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. The property has an outdoor dining area. Hamilton Airport is 33 miles away.

We really enjoyed the farm surroundings, the ducks came to greet us and the cows were happy to be patted in the paddock .The cabin was surprisingly warm and cozy. Shower, toilets and kitchen area is basic, but we knew what to expect anyway. The common areas have their own style with lots of quirky collectibles and unique designs.

4.9 miles from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, the campground offers a garden and a shared lounge. The property provides barbecue facilities and parking on-site. The property has an outdoor dining area.

Basic accommodation was fine for one night stop over with access to shared kitchen for self catering. Would recommend bringing a torch to be able to find your way between the cabins, kitchen and toilet and supplement the solar lights in the cabin. Was quiet.

    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.

    Our tour of the caves with a local guide was great.

    Our tour of the caves with a local guide was great. It made all the difference that it was a local Māori guide telling us the historical story of the caves and those that first offered it for viewing. Our guide was funny and informative. The walkways were well lit and we felt safe the whole way round. Our grandchildren 11yrs and 8yrs loved the boat trip in the dark and were mesmerised by all the glow-worms.

    On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer.

    On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer. Went to two caves the first, after a short walkthrough bush we entered the cave and then got into a rubber raft where we were pulled along the underground stream , looking up at the ceiling it was covered with glow-worms. Very pretty & fascinating. After a coffee break we went into the second cave where we saw lots of stalagmites and stalactites and even the bones of an ancient extinct bird, the Moa. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us how the rock formations were formed. An excellent tour.

    Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave.

    Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave. The tour guide was well spoken and clear and sung beautifully to demonstrate the acoustics. Very clean and spacious walking areas, well supported stairs. Much bigger than imagined. The glow worms were so pretty it was like a stary night sky in the outback. Priceless experience.

    Glowworms good.

    Glowworms good. Cave formations underwhelming compared to Tasmania and not value for money, tour guides were excellent though. Village pub and restaurant food was just average but staff were friendly and professional.

    We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before dinner and the Ruakuri Cave tour the next morning. They both were stunning. Guides were friendly and informative. We heard from another couple on the second tour that they had done several other caves and an exciting adventure (the Abyss if I remember correctly). I want to do that next time.

    Angus and Rachel deserve their superhost status. Absolutely beautiful location (amazing views!) with its own glow worm grotto nestled in native bush! Gorgeous cottage and very warm and toasty. Great simple breakfast provided - all we needed. Angus full of information and suggestions for local walks and history of the area. Great proximity to Waitomo Caves. Can't recommend enough!

    Functional basic detached cabins, clean and warm, what we expected. They are about 30m from a very busy road, so there was traffic noise. There is a house with kitchen lounge and bathrooms. It's on the same site as a large farm shop and cafe so the food was good. The staff were not on site as we arrived late but were easy to contact and helpful.

    The breakfast is amazing and generous and meeting other travellers is enjoyable. Views of the rural landscape are beautiful. Easy access to the caves. The hosts Helen & John are very convivial and easy to contact. The honey tasting was a bonus. Highly recommended.
