Clean and comfortable stay
We only stayed for one night at Waitomo Lodge but quite enjoyed it. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Check in and out was straightforward. After reading previous reviews we put our headphones on before going to sleep and didn't hear any trains, had a very good night sleep.

We were looking for an overnight stay during our travel from Napier to Auckland. The Waitomo Lodge is conveniently located on the edge of the small town of Te Kuiti, which provides convenient stores, Cafes & many Takeaway options. It is also a short drive to the famous Waitomo Caves. The Lodge itself had a Warm & Welcoming ambience. The gentleman (who I would assume was the Property Manager), greeted us with a great big smile and genuine personality. Rooms were clean, spacious and fully equipped with all the basics. TV's in both main room & kids room had Netflix, etc. Beds & Pillows were lovely and comfortable, best sleep all week!! Traffic, particularly big trucks, could make the stay a bit noisy (we were a bit further off the main road, would hate to be in unit 1 or 2). Full blockout curtains would just take this room to the next level of comfort. Thank you!
