Lovely owners; very helpful directing us to local bar (friendly and cheap steaks) and suggested we did a river walk in the dark to see glow worms - brilliant. Long chat about the clear skies. Ideal Motel when visiting the Glow Worm Caves. Brilliant.

Stayed in the train and it was more spacious than original thought. LOVED the view from the windows. Kids loved the countryside. Beds were comfortable and the aircon was a plus. Super close to the caves.

Location was great! Close to the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves and the other associated tours. Reception and all staff very friendly. We needed an ice pack and they lent us not only one, but two with some towels as well. They gave us a late check out when we asked which was nice! Also walked us to our room and showed us which parking space was ours on arrival.

Very unique location. We stayed in the Hobbiton cave unit. Beds are very comfortble, rooms are clean. If you want to experience something totally different from your 'standard' motel just do it!! If you are travelling with children they will totally love the unique room. (boat, airplane or hobbit cave)

The difference of the location, it is exciting to stay in a boat or airplane for the experience in comparison to just a standard motel room
