Waitomo Village Chalets Home of Kiwipaka Reviews

The hotel is tidy, but relatively small. Fortunately, it has a small terrace. The hotel is in a good location, only a 7-8 minute walk from Glowworm cave.

It was unexpectedly good. The room was very close to the fireflies. It took 10 minutes to walk and 2 minutes to drive. The room is very clean and tidy. It is a wooden 2-story building. There is a balcony on the second floor where you can watch the stars and the moon. The wood also smells like wood. It is better than expected.

A good place to stay to watch the glowworm caves. The bed is comfortable and easy to sleep in. The kitchen is well-equipped. Thank you to the host for letting me check in early and successfully participate in the Blackwater rafting trip.

The disadvantage is that the sound insulation is not good. We live on the first floor, but we can hear clearly when walking on the second floor. It is noisy, so just wear earplugs. It was spoken by an old couple who were very enthusiastic and introduced the surroundings of the hotel. The house we went to on November had only heating. We thought it would be cold, but in fact the heating worked very well and it became very warm after being turned on for a while. It's very close to the Glowworm Cave, more than 20 minutes' walk and a quick drive. Waitomo has its own parking lot, which is very convenient.

We live in a two-bedroom house with a double bed in the master bedroom, a single bed in the second bedroom, and a bunk bed. There is also a mini kitchen in the living room.

The landlord's attitude is very good

Clean, affordable, and a great place to stay.

Average, quiet inn

Picturesque property in a peaceful village. Staff were great, warm and welcoming. The room was large and well equipped. Simple but very clean. Very convenient location to a pub and general store both steps away. Would definitely recommend!

Very basic but comfortable rooms, 15 minute walk from Waitomo Caves and Walkway and adjacent to eateries and small grocery in Waitomo Village. Short hill climb and flight of stairs to reach our second floor accommodation; not a problem for us but might be challenging for those with mobility issues. No AC.

The property is in a great location, can walk to 2 restaurants, and store. Our room was lovely with a balcony to sit out on. The hosts Lynn and Glen were the best!

The room was very small and the carpet was threadbare. There was one towel each to shower with, but only one hand towel for both of us. There was no luggage rack, so had to put luggage on the floor. The room is showed it with a kitchenette when I booked it, but there was nothing but a small refrigerator and a hot pot. Because there was no air conditioning we had to leave the windows open, which allowed the bugs to come in. For those traveling to see the glowworms stay in Hamilton. It’s only an hour away.

Beautiful accommodation, so close to the caves and amazing forest walks. The hosts are fried and everything was clean and comfortable- loved it and would definitely stay again

We loved staying here. Brilliant location. Happy relaxed vibe. Geat hosts who cant do enough for you. They have recently taken over so have lots of plans for the site. Would love to have stayed longer. Loved the bar just down the hill too. Everything within walking distance.
