I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and offered a lovely view, though they were a bit bright at night. The service was top-notch with very accommodating and friendly staff. The location was ideal, being right next to the cave tour company and with restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The dining experience was great, especially with the variety of breakfast options available. Overall, a fantastic experience with some minor room brightness issue.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, but they were on the small side and lacked storage space. The decor felt outdated, reminding me of the '60s formica-and-chrome era. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit scarce at times. The location was excellent for exploring Waitomo's activities, with some attractions nearby and a short drive to the caves. The dining was a highlight, with a cozy dining room and a large choice of delicious food. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
