Top Te Kuiti Hotel Reviews

Waitomo Lodge

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"
