Book a Top Tahāroa Motel

"there are not enough superlative to use on this property and the staff and owners."

"If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in Waitomo that will not disappoint, this is the place. The hosts are next level hospital, particularly “Ratbag” and you’ll be hard pressed to beat the views. Tranquil, peaceful, cosy, relaxing and truly restorative. No, you won’t get wifi or room service but what you will get is your own private glowworm grotto, breathtaking views and leave feeling warm, loved and wishing you could stay longer. Truly unforgettable accommodation. "

"Great stay, like last time."

"We enjoyed our space, nice neighbours, great outdoor space and beautiful garden. "

"Incredible value for money"

"The stay was fantastic. Amazing scenery and really in the absolute middle of nowhere. Nearest town was around 40 minutes away which was perfect for us. Beautiful river right off the back door and mountains all around. A quick and easy drive to one of the black-sand beaches."

"Everything was great and would definitely stay again. Hours of local restaurants were not optimal for us so check ahead and see if it works for you. Front desk staff was helpful and it’s close to so many caves and bushwalks. "

"Stunning location and very cosy and comfortable with all one needed for a lovely seaside escape. "

"The staff was great and so was the Chicken Curry! Parking is a pain."
