Very private accommodation. Beds were comfortable, and the room exceeded our expectations. As a family of 5, it's sometimes difficult finding accommodation to fit all of us in one room. The room was big and self-contained. Hosts great!

Everything. The location, the wonderful property and Carolyn, the host - not to mention her wee dog, Lacey.
We had two grandsons with us and Carol was brilliant with them, showing them rocks, fossils and getting them friends with the sheep!

Lyn was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome. The room had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Perfect location for the amazing nighttime bush walk and glow worm caves.

Our stay at Waitomo Retreat was absolutely perfect. The place itself was beautiful, and the views were truly amazing. We stayed in a small cabin with two bedrooms, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.
The host and his parents were incredibly accommodating and made sure every part of our stay was just right. Their warm hospitality really made the experience special.
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay — highly recommended!

Amazing place, very chill, nice crowd and wonderful hosts. Loved all the animals in the property, very cute. The place has a tennis court, a pool, and lots of info about different attractions in the area. Location-wise, the whole region is quite rural, but the hostel is well located close to the main village

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great.
Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids.
Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

The have a small kitchen, with gas oven cooker, fridge.
There are two bedrooms. Double bed. and the other has bunks.
The shower is very small. Big outdoor bathtub! We stayed there as we visited Waitomo Caves the next day. We bought our own food to cook.

My first trip was 45 years ago.
My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water...
We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Experience Waitomo Caves and it was amazing! Our guides, Garret & Alicia, were fun, helpful, informative, and made sure were were safe in the cave & the water; this is is a must do! They take pictures for you because it would be impossible to float in a tube & take pictures yourself.
