super affordable. my room was really clean and the facilities like showers and kitchen was clean too. it was off season so not much crowd, plenty of space in the fridge for my food. Room had everything i needed, including a fan. Laundry services were slightly pricey at $6/wash and $6/dry, bring your own detergent, or buy some during store hours at the little shop near checkin. no vending machine for it! really rocky beach right behind the property, had loads of fun just hanging around.
Close to the Chartwell shopping mall, clean room and has all basic amenities. Heater did not really warm the room much and there is a centralized control at the corridor so I guess that is the reason why but the room wasn’t cold either so it wasn’t too bad staying during winter. The travelers next to our room made a lot of noise during bedtime (close to midnight) and I understand this is beyond the landlord’s control. The only thing that I would recommend is for the landlord to put up a notice to ensure that the lodgers will keep the house quiet after 10pm.
As we had a glowworm cave tour booked, we decided to stay overnight in Waitomo. The guesthouse was ideally located, with a great restaurant just around the corner, which made dinner very convenient. We stayed in room 40, and the bedroom came with an electric heater. Free parking was also available.
stayed here because its essentially the only backpackers in hamilton.. The place really lacks privacy - there's no separation curtains on the beds in the room so feels very open, no separated bathroom- all in the same room, but at least the toilets have gendered signs on the doors.. would prefer more separation since the men's and women's are all next to eachother. Owner and/or cleaners would come into the rooms without knocking. My bed had the AC directly above it and it was kept on all night, quite drafty. Had a decent kitchen and community area, and good location though.
Very friendly receptionist, lots of space in the rooms with all the necessary and useful services for a good stay; TV with Sky; convenient parking; the structure and the curtains in the room are a bit dated... but overall honorable; I recommend it for a longer stay than ours of just one night.
The location is great, close to the lake, the facilities are complete, the staff are friendly, it was a perfect experience and I would recommend it to my friends.
Great location, excellent pitstop for trips along Coromandel. Ample parking spots for those who are driving or on road trips.
Only downside was the WiFi, as it was rather unstable.
Smooth check in and very helpful receptionist. The room is spacious and clean with a dedicated parking space.
Very Good

Good
I stayed here for one night and overall it was okay. The room was clean enough and comfortable for a short stay. One small downside was that there were no toothbrushes provided, which would have been nice. On the positive side, the location is very convenient—Pak’nSave is just across the road, making it easy to grab anything you need. Overall, not bad for a brief stay.
The public area is clean, the location is not far from the central area, and it is very convenient for self-driving tours. The basic facilities are simple but neat and clean. It is very comfortable in autumn, and it may be a bit hot in summer because there is no air conditioning in the room. Overall, I am very satisfied.
