"Very pleased with our accommodation, clean & maintained. Staff is friendly, helpful but overworked! "

"Room was spacious with super comfortable beds. Small kitchenette available with microwave and kettle. We loved the old school 90s feel which still looks in its prime. The room had everything you could need for a few days stay. Didn’t get to use the courtyard but it was tidy. Parking easy and Jeff was very helpful with local activity recommendations. A little bit of road noise but nothing significant. We were given the accessible room and it was very well set up for that purpose. Thanks Jeff and Jenny "

"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. "

"There was plenty of room for parking. When I arrived at reception I was told to fill out a form with all my details which was time consuming, I booked through expedia and Ive never had to do this before. Staff communication was minimal at best and kind of unfriendly. The room had all the amentie. The bathroom was very good with plenty of room."

"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. "

"Reviewing for a group of 3. We stayed in the family room for 1 night while visiting the nearby glow worm caves. We had a great stay. Only about 10 minutes from the caves. The property is situated on a hill, and the patio right outside our room had spectacular views of the surrounding region/mountains. Room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet at night. Bathroom was spacious as well. Small kitchenette had a few items as well including electric kettle, tea, coffee. Complementary breakfast was continental and definitely a plus; had everything we needed for a long day. Was nice to meet the owner Trevor as well as his dogs who can be seen around the property. Would stay here again. "

"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."
