Had a lovely brief stay perfect for visiting Waitomo caves just 10 mins away. Friendly , clean, comfortable. ##### Patrick B. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline Jan 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The accommodation is a cozy addition on a pastoral hobby farm and horse rescue. Brenda and Andrew are fantastic hosts. The room itself has a big bed, a wonderful shower, and thoughtful snack options, including some homemade jams with the offered toast. Its location is extremely close to the Waitomo caves and district, a perfect place to stay to jump off into adventure. The only detractor was that the room was extremely hot, even with fans. Brenda actively asked me if she would benefit from purchasing an AC unit, to which I agreed that it would be stellar. Laundry is not available, contrary to what the listing said. We loved our stay here, especially because of all the animals and Brenda and Andrew, who were amazing hosts! Would stay again. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christopher Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had arrived late in Waitomo, friendly greeting by hosts whom were very accommodating showing the suite and property grounds should I wish to take evening stroll. Was an early start next morning but super easy to check out after wonderful nights sleep. Would definitely stay again if in area very central to all the activities. Thank you ##### christopher Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Acacia Cliffs Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taupo-Hotels-Acacia-Cliffs-Lodge.h3918501.Hotel-Information) > > [Chantillys Motor Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taupo-Hotels-Chantillys-Motor-Lodge.h4528350.Hotel-Information) > > [Baycrest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taupo-Hotels-Baycrest-Lodge.h558050.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamilton Settlers Motor Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hamilton-Settlers-Motor-Lodge.h9127261.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Motorlodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Parklands-Motorlodge.h918774.Hotel-Information) > > [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > > [Carrick Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Carrick-Lodge-Motel.h9626119.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > > [Turangi Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Turangi-Leisure-Lodge.h61338998.Hotel-Information) > > [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > > [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Village Chalets Home of Kiwipaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Kiwi-Paka-Waitomo.h19526472.Hotel-Information) > > [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Elephant Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-The-White-Elephant-Accommodation.h9624615.Hotel-Information) > > [Absolute Bliss](https://www.expedia.ca/Paihia-Hotels-Absolute-Bliss.h9626254.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Breeze Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Taupo-Hotels-Lake-Breeze-Motel.h5959092.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > > [Abel Tasman Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Marahau-Hotels-Abel-Tasman-Lodge.h20040118.Hotel-Information) > > [Kumiko's Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Waipara-Hotels-Kumikos-Guest-House.h98505532.Hotel-Information) > > [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Tudor Motor Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Tudor-Motor-Lodge.h9626531.Hotel-Information) > > [Westwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Westwood-Lodge.h1030417.Hotel-Information) > > [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information)
