If you like B&Bs, this is a nice one. It was super clean. The owner was friendly. A continental breakfast was included. The location was super convenient as it was only about fifteen minutes from the Waitomo Caves - which are best seen early in the morning before the crowds get there.

Waitomo Orchard B & B was quiet and comfortable and extremely close to the waitomo caves. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a great outdoor area to relax in. The provided breakfast was good and there's even a kitchen to prepare a meal of you don't want to drive into town for a meal.

Nice B & B, good value.

Very nice B & B. Beautiful setting and very good breakfast set up. The host Trevor was friendly and attentive. We were initially concerned that there was only 1 bathroom, but it wasn’t an issue. It was large, modern and well laid out. Would stay here again…
