Chris was an awesome host, we loved the unit, clean tidy and comfortable.

Leaving

Very homely, comfortable, old-fashioned motel located just off the main road. Easy to find and check in. Comfy bed, decent kitchentte, warm and cosy. Very helpful manager with good local advice. There's a pool on site but I didn't have time to try it out.

It's not far from SH3, so you hear the odd truck. But in the scheme of things that's fine and I'd be glad to stay here again.

Loved everything about it, clean inside and perfectly designed with a toilet separate to shower, fully equipped kitchen, large window with a view into the garden, super comfortable beds, the heating worked well; the host was very helpful and knowledgeable of other attractions. Definitely come back and stay longer next time.

We liked everything very much

Great location, comfortable beds, very clean. The owner was very helpful and gave us lots of great information on the best things to do in the area during our stay, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He also checked in on us to make sure we were ok. Would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you for making our stay perfect.

We were pleasantly surprised. The place is rough around the edges externally. Could do with a spruce up and perhaps a garden, so we didn't have a high expectations for our room. We were in the family room and we really liked it. We enjoyed our stay and it was good value for money. It was tidy, clean with plenty of beds. The beds were comfortable. Not too soft. The man who checked us in (the owner perhaps?) was super helpful and gave some great advice. It was awesome to have free wifi too. We could park right outside our room as well. There is traffic noise but that didn't bother us.

We had difficulty locating the office because the sign was being consumed by plants. It didn't help that when we drove into the motel you have a choice of driving left or right. We went left. Had we gone right then we would have likely seen the sign. A little guidance at the entrance would have been useful. Some of the furnishings in the room could be upgraded, mainly the sofa. It was the hardest sofa I had ever sat on.

Chris was amazing. The car broke down outside Te Kuiti. I called him mentioned that the car will be towed to Te Kuiti late in the evening. He offered to pick me up. However I did get a rental and the manager said he would wait till I got there. At the motel he was of great help and I am indebted to him. I am grateful to the good souls of King Country

All was good

Superb host who was very helpful when we arrived. Very nice, spotlessly clean, spacious chalet and good facilities. Well recommended for an overnight stop.

Difficult to find when you are unfamiliar with the territory. A large sign by the road would be sensible, otherwise it is the first turning on Waitomo Caves Road. It is also not that easy to see when you actually get there. More advertising would be useful. No immediate catering facilities - you have to go up the road to the restaurants or into town for food supplies.

The staff were wonderful. We had planned to give Glow Worm Caves a miss even though we stayed at Waitomo, cos our little one was scared of caves and didn't wanna waste money. The front desk manager gave us directions to a bushwalk where you could see worms for free. It was one of the most exceptional sights we've seen!!

The place was clean. Our room was large for a family of 5. It was private and comfortable for our stay. Heater worked well to keep us warm, even though there was no floor covering on the concrete floors.

The road noise was noisy at times and the shower was warm but shower head was average.

The bed was comfortable, and the staff were friendly

Only one comfortable chair Unfortunately the site is close to a roundabout at the bottom of the hill, and trucks using their engine brakes to slow down made enough noise to disturb our sleep quite frequently
