2-Star Hotels in Waitomo Caves

We spent a very enjoyable couple of nights here in our campervan on our way down the north island. The site itself was quiet and secluded, with a number of animals nearby, including cows, sheep, pigs and a deer! The communal facilities are comprehensive and clean, with extensive and comfortable seating both inside and on the large verandah which surrounds the building. But what makes Juno Hall particularly special is Dave, the manager (and his dog, George), who has a quirky sense of humour and a heart of gold, often going above and beyond to help guests and is also a mine of information. Go visit - it is a gem!

Angus greeted us on arrival and showed us around the property to make sure we found everything. He was full of advice on the many activities in the area, we would have needed to stay longer to check everything out. He even showed us his fossil collection. I was sad to leave, he took such good care of us, and made us feel like family. Our family group rented all three accommodations for two nights. Angus supplied a crib cot in one of the cabins for our youngest. The glamping tent was perfect for the toddler, low beds, and rugs over the floor. The cabins were well equipped for preparing a light breakfast, which was supplied. Juice, yogurt, cold cereal, and toast with butter, marmalade and jelly. Freshly ground coffee in a press and hot chocolate powder. They even supplied marshmallows to toast over the outside firepit. The bathrooms for the cabins are located outside the cabins, but don't worry, you walk on the deck to get to them, and the way is covered. For the tent you do need to walk in the weather, but it includes a tub on the deck, great for soaking in the view. The kitchenette for the glamping tent is outside the tent with a bar area to watch the sunrise as you sip your coffee. Check out their Instagram for pictures of the views! The units are situated on top of a ridge so you get sunset and sunrise. We even had a view from the bathroom. The private glowworm grotto was a treat. And there were sheep and cattle in the fields.

Driving from Auckland is a bit far away, and walking on the mountain road at night is still a bit biased. The advantage is that it is very close to the firefly wormhole. At night, it is full of surprises. The hotel looked inconspicuous at night, small, but it was very warm during the day, the flowers were crowded, clean and tidy, and the owner was very amiable. The only dissatisfaction was that the book was rushed at that time, and I booked the No. 5 room with the preferential price at the front. When I saw it, I clearly wrote more than 500. When I paid, I showed that I wanted a credit card guarantee, and I agreed. However, I later found that I had to pay 140 New Zealand, which was more than 650, and the credit card deposit was not returned for a long time. It was very depressed. Room 5 is in the middle, the privacy is relatively poor, and it is the smallest. There are two small single beds in the room, plus a bathroom. I thought it was because of the special reason for the special price. Be careful.

A caravan camping hotel in New Zealand chose a separate room with a separate bathroom, which is very good. Cook and eat in the public kitchen restaurant. It's less than 5 minutes by car from the Glowworm Cave, which is very convenient. It will be far away from the supermarket. It is recommended to checkin at the hotel for purchasing.
