Description

The Caves Motor Inn is the perfect choice for Waitomo accommodation. Set in tranquil surroundings with views of our beautiful countryside, our motel/motor lodge caters for a range of travellers with accommodation to suit most.

We have spacious ground-floor studio rooms (sleep 2-3) and 2-bedroom self-catering family rooms (sleep up to 5).
All rooms are serviced daily. Our popular on-site restaurant caters for all in-house guests as well as local clientele.
Our establishment is a great venue for weddings, family reunions or group stays, with all facilities available on site. The Caves is also excellent for conferences and team-building stays and there is free off-road parking right outside the rooms.

We are nestled between Otorohanga (8km) and Te Kuiti (10km), which are both only a 10-minute drive from Waitomo Caves. It is a great central stopover point, only 2.5 hours from Auckland, the ski fields and New Plymouth, and 1.5 hours to Taupo and Rotorua. The beautiful west coast beaches of Raglan, Kawhia and Mokau are just 1 hour away and trout fishing and hunting are right on our doorstep. Several golf courses are from 2-minutes to 30-minutes’ drive away and there is a local garden and creative arts trail nearby.

We stayed here with our daughter as it was close to the fieldays. Our room was right by the main road but as glass is triple glazed noise was not an issue at all. Staff were fabulous & we will be back again next year!

Was there anything great about your stay you'd like to share?
Our stay was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble staff very helpful & friendly Room was warm and cosy with great view over looking lovely green country side, the native wood pigeons were an added bonus in the surrounding trees. The restaurant was excellent well worth dining here,food and service was excellent. I read some of the reviews before I booked and as most of them were very good I booked on that basis, the people that rated this place a 2 must live in the clouds. Would stay again
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
Refurbish the front entrance so it is as inviting as the restaurant upstairs would be nice ( this however didn't effect our stay)

The staff were very friendly & helpful
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
We had dinner in the restaurant the evening of the 7th.The meal was very nice, the staff were very friendly but we felt that they could do with some training. We had a drink out on the balcony & when we came into the dining room we sat at a table that had been used, the restaurant wasn't busy but I had to go & tell them we were there.They came over brushed some crumbs off the tablecloth but didn't take away the dirty serviette & a knife that was on the table.When our meals arrived we had to ask for cutlery. A table alongside us was vacated & about 30 minutes later 4 Americans came in & sat at it, the table wasn't reset & the staff didn't bring them cutlery either. As I said the restaurant wasn't busy & they had plenty of time to fully clear the tables & reset them. One of the staff was busy putting serviettes on empty tables,we were there an hour & no cutlery had been put on it, surely seated clients should come first?

This is our second stay here. While it is above the main highway traffic was not a problem - there were ear plugs if needed. Lovely rural outlook. The onsite restaurant is a great advantage. The hosts were very helpful.

THE ROOM WAS SPOTLESS ANDD THE STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
THE LOCATION OF THE MOTEL IS CONVENIENTLY CLOSE TO WAITOMO CAVES, BUT IT IS RIGHT ON A MAIN ROAD AND THERE IS SOME TRAFFIC NOISE. WE WERE IN A ROOM AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY AND BUSY DAYS ENSURED WE SLEPY WELL, BUT LIGHT SLEEPERS MIGHT STRUGGLE EVEN WITH THE EAR PLUGS PROVIDED. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I WOULD'NT RECOMMEND THE MOTEL, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT.

Was there anything great about your stay you'd like to share?
Close to the Caves. While close to the road, it is a quiet motel. We appreciated the restaurant on site, as we didnt have to drive anywhere after a meal and a few drinks. A very good meal without too much fuss,and not too big a meal, and an excellent chef on the night we were there.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
A little dated in the decor, the heater in the room very noisy, but adequate, and the toilet bowl flush not terribly good, didnt have enough water in the tank system. I had to lift the lid on the tank, and trick it into filling a bit more. We didnt complain, we got away early, and I had solved the problem anyway.

I would pay more if there were air conditioning. Also, a shower curtain is *always* lesser than a glass door. Shower curtains are tacky, whereas glass doors are preferable. Motels MUST HAVE FREE WIFI in this day and age!!! This isn't the 90s anymore!!!

Was there anything great about your stay you'd like to share?
The restaurant was open for the evening despite there being a sign in reception saying the restaurant was closed. It was probably open that night because a large youth group was arriving and needed a meal onsite. The meals were good and and the service was friendly and efficient.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
The whole lodge is a bit dated, however the rooms have been repainted, and look fine. The reception area however looks very tired and dishevelled, with stained carpet and posters taped or blutacked and partly hanging off walls. Not a good first impression. A couple of windows needed locks or hinges fixed. Bedrooms had no wall vents, and had de-humidifiers to combat condensation. $30 more than lovely lodge in Rotorua we stayed at, perhaps because of dearth of competition in the caves area.

We were very surprised to find that our studio unit did not have a sink for washing dishes, given that it provided crockery, cutlery,electric jug, toaster, microwave, in order to self cater. The only place to wash dishes was in the bathroom basin. Not ideal given that the basin is also used for hand washing after using the toilet.

Good accessibility to the Waitomo Caves.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
Ideally, the motel can be considered for renovation. Can the provision of toiletries include shampoo, conditioner and bath gels instead of just soaps? The room maintenance was overlooked as well. The TV remote control had worn-out batteries and the Wi-fi connection was poor.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. They opened their laudry for us as our youngest had been sck in the car and we had washing to do. The restaurant was surprisingly good.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
The property is old and while everything was functional, some things have definitely seen better days. Internal phone was worn and the furniture while comfortable was showing its age.

Heavy (as in trucks) traffic through most of the night - they supplied ear-plugs ! I guess they can't do much else.
Are there any improvements you would like to suggest?
Perhaps put some clothes hooks in the bathroom - and maybe put an extractor fan in there as well. Would be good if they could sort out the wireless internet connectivity - it didn't reach the room we were in.

handy location for my purpose, at a reasonable price.

Had to wait several minutes for reception staff to appear. Although I had requested space to park a car trailer, the space offered was unsuitable as it would have blocked off another guest's car park.

Room was SO noisy we got about 3hrs sleep despite the provided ear plugs. Trucks and trains all night, which rattled the door and vibrates through the bed. No sink so unable to fill water bottles or kettle without using a cup and bathroom tap. Really old, run down, musty rooms . Booked earlier than friends and we got oldest room (number 1), whilst they were able to book what we initially requested- a large apartment/house as we were travelling as a group.

I didn't feel that the price charged was a good reflection of the quality of accommodation, compared to other places we have stayed at. When we pulled back the curtain of the lounge window on arrival, there were approx 30 live flies buzzing around. Luckily in the cupboard under the kitchen sink contained a can of fly spray we could use. Room had a musty smell to it.
