Independent in Te Mapara from NZ$95

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

"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. "

"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."
