Top Hangatiki Hotel Reviews

Te Tiro Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage is in an absolutely breathtaking spot near Waitomo with breathtaking views. The cottage is so cozy. Angus was a great host, and communication was excellent. We can’t wait to stay here again!"

Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and staff were helpful (we had some items missing from our room but this was quickly rectified). WiFi was a bit unstable. Breakfast was a help-yourself selection of cereals, toast and yogurt which was fine. Location is lovely, and the rooms and beds were comfortable. A nice place to stay."

Waitomo Village Chalets Home of Kiwipaka

8/10 Good

"This was a cheap room, very bare bones and basic but exactly what we needed for one night close to all the cool attractions in the area. It was just my 13-year-old son and I. The receptionist was extremely nice and explained everything really well. She even turned the heat on for us and explain the space heater which we definitely needed as it was pretty chilly that night.I was a little bummed out that the beds were slightly squeaky, the doors to the rooms were really loud, and the walls seem to be very thin. But even with all that I still slept well. Overall happy about it, but perhaps I would try the more chalet style rooms next time and find an even better experience."
