Top Otorohanga Hotel Reviews

Waitomo Top 10 Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived with a warm welcome, and very clean accommodations. The bathrooms and pool area were awesome! And as a bonus, the views of the meadow were very nice."

Waitomo Lodge

8/10 Good

"Place was great and the room was clean, comfortable and spacious. We had read reviews that mentioned road noise issues, but we didn't experience any noise during our stay. The only issue we had that let it down was the fact that they had a kitchen area with utensils butno sink. Meaning we had to was plates and cutlery in the bathroom sink, which isn't necessarily hygienic"
