Large room with separate bath and toilet. Kitchen has microwave, hot plates, fridge. Basic but cheap price and easy to get to caves etc. Only problem is highway noise. Pool was clean when I was here and others were using it. Reasonable value for old style motel.

Great service and helpful advice from the owners. Rooms are warm and had everything I needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I really enjoyed my stay. The rooms had everything one needs and having access to wireless was a real bonus. Only 11 kms to Te Kuiti, 8 kms to Otorohanga, and 8 kms to Waitomo Caves. If... More

Stayed 1 night in front unit opposite from main highway. While I could tolerate the traffic noise the street lights shone into the unit and it was hard to sleep.

The motel was basic and clean. It's nothing fancy but it's a perfectly fine place to stay if you are visiting the caves. The owner was so nice! He gave us info on where to go at night to get a good view of the glow worms - we would have never know or found this on our own. It... More

My wife & I stayed here beginning of last year & We wouldnt stay here again as it was very dirty & rundown. Worst Motel I have ever stayed in. The owner said he had just cleaned the swimming pool but it had green Slim all over it & leaves in water. Never again. But The owners were Friendly &... More

Stayed here one night while visiting the caves. The place is very run down and in real need of some TLC. The apartment we stayed in was relatively clean, but not the standard of cleanliness we'd come to expect in New Zealand. Although not a major deal, the owner had dusted the TV stand or bedside tables in quite a... More

I had an extended break in the area and stayed for the whole duration at Glowworm. Very friendly staff who go out of their way for you (nothing is too much trouble). Room was tidy, clean and warm and had everything I needed for a great stay. Price was very reasonable and is value for money for anyone. I will... More

The hotel is very very run down and need of a big investment. Also it is on the main highway and can get very noisy. The plus is the owners are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a good size. For th price it is poor value
