Waitomo Lodge, hotel in Te Kuiti

Waitomo Lodge is located in Te Kuiti, 11 miles from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. The property has room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

Staff were friendly and helpful, recommended a great local restaurant on request. The room had comfy beds, good heating and location had a lovely quiet calm feel to it. There was quite a group of us staying and we had a fun time with a few drinks and lots of laughter on returning to our accommodation at nights, this was not a problem and we weren't asked to quieten down or return to our rooms or anything. A bonus is the fabulous Shoppington complex next door, well worth checking out.

    This is a farming commercial area close to the Waitomo Caves...

    This is a farming commercial area close to the Waitomo Caves and cave worms tour. The town is basically two main roads with a few restaurants, stores, supermarket and other services. There is a train stop. We did not use the train for travel. It is only 15 minutes to Waitomo Caves and a good place to start exploring the cliffs along the Pacific Ocean further south.

    Cool little township with lots of yummy eateries, shopping & supermarkets. A few memorabilia statues to get pix with. The information centre is very helpful & informative with souvenir Nic Nacs to purchase as well.

    The Waitomo Caves is a must-see, and there are other attractions close by. We grabbed lunch at the Waitomo General Store which is more than just a store.The Cafe and menu selection is amazing and very reasonably priced. Cassandra and her team are a friendly bunch and super efficient.

    The garden at the cottage was amazing to explore.

    The garden at the cottage was amazing to explore. Te Kuiti has a fantastic Indian Takeaway with a wide range of menu options including a traditional Chicken Tikka Marsala and a toandoor oven to make Naan. Only problem was that we arrived on a weekend and a lot of restaurants nad safes were closed and no shops open (this is normal in New Zealand country areas but not where we come from in Australia). Ladies in the inforamtion centre were very helpful.

    We stayed overnight en route from Auckland to New Plymouth so saw little of Te Kuiti, but we saw beauty in the surrounds. We don't recommend taking the bypass route missing Hamilton on a rainy night!

    The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. It appears to have been recently redone. The bathroom was quite small - narrow actually. Partial kitchen facilities but limited. The hotel will make breakfast for you if you notify them in time the previous day. I believe there is a charge but we did not use this option so I can't comment on how good the food was. the view from the room was very beautiful. I see why the name is Panorama.

    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and helping us plan our day, as we'd traveled to do the caves experience nearby. The restaurant meals were excellent, great steak and burgers and they were very accommodating for my vegetarian partner. The room itself was a little basic and showing its age, but perfectly comfortable and warm with kitchenette, tv, and private bathroom so the important things were there.

    The room was a studio but very large with a living area, table, comfortable chairs. It was close to town for dinner and the Spellbound Caves the next day. There was a small, private outdoor sitting area but we didn’t use it. There are train track facing the back of the room but they didn’t bother us at all. No train whistles or long trains. Highly recommend.

    The food supplied for breakfast was great - bacon and fresh eggs plus cereal and fruit juice - and the lovely touch of fresh baking! Not that far from Te Kuiti but very close to the Taumarunui highway if you were travelling that way. Very highly recommended!! The gardens were the highlight of the stay - like a small arboretum. Thank you Jill!

    Honestly I was a little worried when we drove up to discover that this hotel was a motel but I didn't need to be. The room was clean and comfy and the windows were gorgeous. The hotel staff was also super accommodating with the late hour we arrived and early hour we left.

    The hotel was accommodate my last-minute booking. Parking was free and directly in front of my room. The rooms were massive and could easily accommodate a family of four. The kitchenette and dining table were nice to have, and the jacuzzi tub was very clean.

    It was clean, easily accessible, and spacious with parking right out the front of our unit. The manager was very helpful and very nice to deal with. We loved the amount of space and the bathroom/wet room was huge compared to most motel/hotel rooms.
