Kiwipaka Waitomo

Lovely little hostel just near the Waitomo glowworm caves. Location is great as right near a local pub and only a 15 minute drive to a nearby cafe, the property was clean and the staff were very helpful!

Great location. Great, helpful Staff. Comfortable rooms. Vast range of kitchen facilities.

Had an amazing time! Lovely spacious rooms in the dorm and great facilities. The view from the kitchen / living room is wonderful and the people were so nice. One of the best hostels I've ever been in!!

Lovely people here, went out of their way to drive me to the glow worm caves.

Das Hostel ist super. Das Personal ist mega freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie geben einem allerlei Tips, um Waitomo richtig zu genießen.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to the glow worm caves. Big kitchen and loads of facilities

I stayed for two nights in a two-bed dorm and ended up having the room all to myself – such a lovely surprise. Lisa, one of the owners, gave me a map of the area which was incredibly helpful and made planning so much easier.The bathrooms and toilets were very clean, a towel was provided (always appreciated!), and the location is perfect for visiting the caves – just a few minutes’ drive away.There’s also a restaurant/pub right behind Kiwipaka with affordable food and drinks, plus a few m...

The owners were the nicest people. Everything was clean. There was much space to chill inside and outside. The vibe was great. Just remember to buy some groceries beforehand because the one store doesnt have much.

The staff is very kind and the place is so relaxing, it was a really good hostel, I will come back!

Staff were so so lovely. This review is overdue. Had a tour to go see the glow worms and didn’t have a car so the receptionist offered to drive me there. Couldn’t have been more grateful. would fully recommend staying here. Nice and clean and the staff members in general even if I hadn’t been given the lift were so lovely.

i loved my stay here! it was quite quiet due to the time of year i was travelling but it was a lovely place and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

A FRIENDLY , NICE AND GENEROUS PLACE TO STAY AT. EVERYTHING WAS VERY PERFECT. THANK YOU .

Nice hostel in a very quiet village.

Excellent location and venue would recommend it

Owners were really friendly and the place itself is also nice! Beds are very comfy, kitchen is well-equiped, nice place to sit outside, and bathrooms are also well maintained. Only downside was that there aren't many people visiting this hostel, so if you're looking for a peace and quiet this is a very good place, but not so much if you want to meet other people

Would recommend to stay there! Room is small, but got a private room since only a few people stayed there. Was alone on the whole floor. Facilities were clean, room overall acceptable.

Simple and clean. There were fresh towels and a han soap dispenser in the bathroom. The beds were comfy. The kettle and coffee or tea were nice. Some suggestions would be to have more than one spoon and some dish soap and towel.

We had a nice stay here whilst at the glowworm caves. There was hardly anyone at the hostel when we visited so had loads of space. Huge kitchen and dining area. Would recommend

I was almost the only person staying there so there was no atmosphere but my stay was otherwise fantastic! Ample parking, dorm room to myself, large kitchen/living room. Great place to reset for a night.
