Waitomo Top 10 Holiday Park — Hotel in North Island

What can I say… I will start by putting my review in perspective… we just came from 2 weeks in an old motorhome and last night stayed in a luxurious hotel. We got our rental car yesterday and booked this accommodation for tonight. The most descriptive way is that it’s the minimal you need: bunk beds in a dry place. No comfort, but it will get you through the night…

In a campervan I would not mind any of this and it would be a 3-4 star review: not great, but neat and just fine. To me this is a one star in terms of comfort, but given to have low expectations… it IS neat enough…

Some disliked observations: • pool only had 4 beds, 1 chair and 1 shade-cover. No umbrellas and it feels like to pool should have at least 10 beds for a holiday park of this size… • first toilet was covered in pee (seat included) and torn toiletpaper on the floor • another car was parked at our spot and double parked, yet WE were urged to move ours instead of fixing that we could use the car park that was for us. • no screens to keep bugs out when wanting to open the windows

Some things we liked: • closely to the caves • besides the toilets, everything was neat • there is a pool • nice playground

I think the price was too high for what we got.. the above reflections and the price combined: we would not...

Our family had a fantastic stay at Waitomo TOP 10 Holiday Park, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Located in the heart of Waitomo Caves Village, the holiday park's proximity to everything the area has to offer made it incredibly convenient for our family. Just a short stroll away from the renowned Waitomo Glowworm Cave, we were immersed in a world of adventure and excitement right from our doorstep. The park itself boasts an array of thrilling activities and captivating attractions, ensuring that our stay in a 2-bedroom motel was filled with fun and exploration. The excellent customer service provided by the staff further enhanced our experience, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for. We were especially appreciative of the staff who not only ensured our comfort but also went the extra mile to help us book our Ruakuri Cave tour, adding an extra layer of convenience to our stay. From the convenient location to the exciting activities, warm hospitality, and assistance with tour bookings, Waitomo TOP 10 Holiday Park promises an unforgettable experience for families. Highly recommended for those seeking a memorable stay in the...

This is a beautifully kept site, the grounds were immaculate and the facilities were very clean. Ye staff were very friendly and extremely helpful in providing advice and guidance. The kitchen and bbq area was spotless but also a very nice communal space. Whilst we've done lots of camping being brits we hadn't come across campsites with kitchen faciltiies before and this was very welcome in a cramped motorhome and the facilities here were top rate. The laundry facilities were reasonably priced and the addition of card paying machines to operate the equipment was welcome. Most of the motorhome sites were quite small and close together with not really enough room to put out your awning or sit out but i suppose most people like stay here a couple of nights to see the caves so it was perfectly fine. They have chalets/cabins to rent and these looked very nice. If you do visit make the effort to go a little further than the caves as Marokopa falls and Mangapohue natural bridge are worth visiting both free. Also the restaurant Tomo across the road sells reasonably priced food and has a...
