"We spent two nights in Waitomo, and so happy they were spent at the Village Chalet. The room was very comfortable. Comfy bed. Heater kept us warm as temperatures dropped at night. Balcony a nice amenity to enjoy the rare sunny days. Very quiet at night.
Erik and Lisa are superb hosts. Long before we booked the room they were giving us advice about getting to and around Waitomo. This was a stop off along the Northern Explorer train and because it’s off season transport to Waitomo is virtually impossible to arrange. Erik and Lisa generously offered to pick us up and then take us back to the train. It was a “vacation” saver. We enjoyed the glow worm caves even more knowing our transport needs were sorted.
We highly recommend staying here. It’s a small town but the local pub serves up delicious food and the general store makes a lovely cup of coffee. If we ever find ourselves in Waitomo again we will definitely stay here."
"Great place, clean, warm and bigger than it looks in the photos. We had arrived much later than expected but was still warmly welcomed by the host shortly after our arrival. Convenient place to stay as we travelled from the far north to attend a funeral the next day at Rākaunui Marae."
"We LOVED our stay! We were offered dinner - a chicken and potato curry- which we took them up on. It was by far the best meal I’ve had in NZ- home cooked, tasty and so flavourful! We loved the garden area and the deck. It was one of our best stays. 100 percent recommended!!"
"Was a lovely ANZAC weekend getaway for me and my friends. The property is in a lovely location, being a short work from Ruapeke and with Raglan right on its doorstep. If you are a nature lover or a keen surfer it’s perfect!"
