Top Hotels Near Aranui Cave in Waitomo Caves from AU$79

"The room was clean and comfortable with a microwave, refrigerator, some dishes, and plenty of space. It isn’t fancy, but was a nice place to stay a couple of nights in the Waitomo area. "

"Amazing property "

"Our family of four had a great one night stay in a chalet. While the living area was cosy, it had everything we needed. It's located in a great spot not far from the caves and close to an excellent restaurant. "

"Cabin has a bad smell (note on wall stated it was recently varnished but did not have this smell). Shower went hot then cold on and off which made for a very unpleasant experience. Overall i would recommend to get an ensuite and skip the cabin to stay. Friendly staff but overall not a pleasant stay for the price."

"It was definitely a unique stay. Just keep in mind that the deeper in the ship you go, the colder it gets. However, the duvet and blankets they provide are plenty warm, and there are extra heaters provided, plus some electric blankets I think. People complained about the diesel smell, while present, it faded away for me after a while, it wasn't overpowering or anything. "

"Conveniently located to restaurants and the museum. Very clean. The woman who works the inn is very kind and makes a lovely breakfast. Highly recommend!"

"Awesome experience in the cockpit. But due to rain overnight, could hear the rain on the plane roof while sleeping on the upper deck. "

"Everything we were hoping for. Friendly welcome, clean and had everything we needed. A 2 minute drive to Waitomo Village for very tasty dinner at the pub. Able to live out our Hobbit fantasy with amazing room and imaginative art work. Would definitely do it again. Completely unique experience."

"The lovely, friendly, man at the desk was very welcoming, and offered great advice on what was in the area to visit, etc, i.e. attractions and eateries. For our one night stay, the unit was very clean, tidy, comfortable, and offered everything we needed. We will be back again and would love to stay longer. Thank you xxx"
