Top Waitomo Caves Hotel Reviews

Palm Court Motel

Palm Court Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Our studio was very clean, well kept and well appointed. The kitchenette includes a toaster, a kettle and a microwave - which is more than what we need for a short stay. The heat pump is fantastic at keeping the room nice and comfy on a cold winter night. Parking just outside the door. Very convenient location by the main road, however, noise from the traffic could be quite audible at night time. Staff always seem quite busy and efficient at their job. Overall we had a rather pleasant stay."
