Motel
accommodation is great for independent travellers. If you like to have
the option of cooking your own meals, doing your own laundry and having
the essential comforts of a home while staying in Waitomo Caves,
motels are the best form of accommodation. There is a huge variety of
motels all around the country, from the top of the North Island to
Stewart Island, and a range of prices to suit most budgets. You'll find
motels in main cities, along main travelling routes and near popular
tourist attractions, as well as in off-the-beaten-track scenic locations.
Most motel units have self-catering facilities with fully equipped
kitchens. They also have a phone, TV, tea and coffee-making facilities
and a private bathroom. They have made-up beds with all bedding supplied,
and car parking. Breakfast (at an additional cost) can usually be ordered
the previous night for delivery to the unit if required.
Waitomo Caves: In the Waitomo District, the water above and below ground has sculpted the limestone landscape. There are hundreds of caverns, but only a few are open to the public. The most accessible caves are the Waitomo, Aranui and Ruakuri. As well as speleotherms (stalactites and stalagmites), you will see glow-worms; and there are abseiling experiences available for more adventurous travellers. Black-water rafting is another way to appreciate the underground splendours of Waitomo - you will drift along underground streams on your own personal raft.
