Book a Te Mapara Cottage

"The location was stunning, the room spotless, the host charming and breakfast fab. Pity I only had one night , as there is even a hot tub with a view. Will have to try and make a return visit. "

"Clean and comfortable older motel. Room had everything needed for either summer or winter stays including electric blankets. Only stayed couple of nights for local activities but wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Owners lovely and very helpful. Recommend "

"Clean room with a comfortable bed. Nice balcony. "

"Breakfast is not available at the hotel, but there is a very nice bakery/Café one block around the corner"

"Room was very clean and the staff were very helpful! Convenient location for our needs. Cozy room but plenty of space."

"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. "

"Nice location, clean, well stocked, helpful stall"

"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."

"Was really convenient and comfortable. "
