I like the thick drapes that blocked out sunlight so we could sleep without daylight blaring through the room. It's hard to find a motel that blocks out the noise for us shift worker's trying to sleep during the day. The spa bath was lovely and the huge king size bed was comfy and luxurious. Overall the room was well equipped for a family, hubby and I were amazed with the amount of space adding value well spent.

Perhaps the door lock could be updated, struggled a little to lock and unlock with the key. Worked perfectly from the inside.

The owner was nice enough to loan his shovel to me for so we could dig a hot water bath at Kawhia Beach. Strong Wi-Fi. Fast internet. Air conditioner worked well and did not blow air directly onto the bed.

There was no kitchenette sink in our room -- we were instructed to not wash our dirty dishes so the staff could replace them with clean ones every day. There was no kitchenette stove top either -- just a microwave and electric pot to boil water.

Amazing location parking at the door so many nice eating out choices at walking distance. Supermarket around the corner and a great playground across the street. Big rooms and clean. Close to waitomo caves.

I would have preferred if the mattresses were not as soft as they were same with the pillows but my kids actually like the fact they were soft. We all still managed to have a great sleep both nights we stayed.

WiFi connection was good, walking distance to anywhere in town. Free parking space.

Can be a bit noisy since lots of heavy traffic. The office was supposed to be open for check in when we arrived but it was actually not. We called the manager, but got a recorded message on the voicemail. Did call again after ~30 min with good luck this time. Everything went well after all and got to check in all good. Just calling to a NZ number from my Finnish one was a bit of a pain since it cost me a lot...

Spotless. Very well equipped. Owner/staff were very friendly and welcoming. Clearly very well looked after. Easy access to everything on offer in the town and the region generally.

The building creaked and groaned constantly between heavy trucks going past causing rumbles and pipes ticking all the time this is not a place to stay if you are a light sleeper!

Stumbled upon this place between Waitomo and Kawhia Beach, and wow, what a find! The spa tub is the perfect way to chill after a day out. Everything you need is just a short walk away—grocery store, playground for the kids, and some great restaurants. Super convenient!

We liked the proximity to town restaurants supermarket etc . Good advice by owner on Fat Kiwi to eat . Good attention to detail liked the socket extension by each bed with 4 sockets to charge devices etc . Good supply plates etc . We would recommend it and come again

My brother and I enjoyed our stay - wicked cold snap and we're traveling in a Jucy campervan, tin can. The host was very nice and informative. Kiwi House was an amazing sanctuary, Waterfalls, Natural Bridge nearby. Grocery store across the street. Restaurants in walking distance. It was just perfect, thank you!!

Great room size with all amenities and separate bathroom. Bedding configuration suited us well. Simple decor, clean and tidy. Location was perfect - straight across the road from the park and walking distance to town.

Decor was a little dated which didn't bother us. Right on a busy road, but road noise was minimal.

Management were fantastic in accommodating a late change of booking. Went out of their way. Accommodation nice, clean and on main street. Great location! Very lovely and friendly owner.

Walking up stairs with suitcase lol. Was ok though (not if you're old)
