We would have liked some games - but there may have been some in the big hall by the office. Otherwise all good

We stayed in the boat - it was a ship really. A great experience for my 2 grandchildren along with my daughter. Our apartment was 3 stories - plenty of room. We loved that we could also feed Joseph the pig with our food scraps

Loved the atmosphere , Loved the uniqueness , Great location , quiet , lots of outdoor space , close enough to local attractions , only 15 mins from Otorohanga. Lady in office was lovley and helpful , online help prior to check in, brilliant. Fantastic option for something different for the kids , adds an extra adventure to the holiday. We stayed in the boat, unit 2 (Britanica). Water pressure was great, very warm room (stayed last weekend of March), plug in fans & heaters provided. Kitchen had everything we needed for 1 night away. Fridge is a decent size. The beds though, were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. I know beds are very personal preference but even our 4 year old complained. That's the only negative for us. We would stay again, and choose a different unit, in hope the beds are a little more comfortable. Inside of the unit very clean & tidy. Well presented with furniture & decor to suit the theme. Outside of boat is very run down, could do with a decent wash and repaint to really make it welcoming. We reccomend staying here for the experience.

Had to move accommodation twice because of dead animal smell and then leaking roof.

Novelty to stay in a boat.

Stayed in March 2025

There was a very funky smell. It was a musty damp smell, like the place hadn’t been aired out, after being damp. But leave the door open for as long as you can, it helps.

I stayed in the tail section of the plane, I wanted the cockpit but it was ready occupied, please be aware that the door into the plane is very low, I have to admit, I did hit my head once. The bed was super comfy. Great novelty place to stay.

Outstanding place , recommended

The whole room smelled like mildew the whole time we were there. It was unpleasant.

Loved the look of it. Very fun vibe!

We stopped on a cool night so didn't need the noisy extraction fans running and had the balcony door open in the afternoon to cool the rooms down. On a warm still night you might need bug repellent to sit outside.

We stopped in room 5, the stern on the ship. It is simple accommodation with all the basics but it's quirkiness is why we booked it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and absorbed in the atmosphere. Would book again. They have internal insect repellent to keep bugs at bay.

was just as we expected and suited our needs perfectly

Needs maintenance, everywhere around the property, as well as deep cleaning.

Such a fun adventure. My 6yo son can't stop talking about it!!

We didn’t have breakfast.

We stayed in the Olympic unit on the ship, it was fun. The place is quiet, the beds are a little too soft for me. The top floor was squeaky but as we went to bed at the same time no one was disturbed in the bedrooms. I loved the balcony and the misty view in the morning. As we have caves booked for 8:30 am it was perfect for us, will definitely recommend for stay. If possible next time I will book the plane unit :-D.

Quirky fun use of the old patrol ship. The other units look equal fun, aeroplane and the hobbit rooms!

Stayed in February 2025

Exterior is exceptionally cool, the interior was your basic cheap hotel room so that left a bit to be desired. Overall a nice stay if you're visiting the caves in the area and the nearby huhu restaurant

Originally booked the plane cockpit however it had a very steep ladder to the second bed so owner kindly switched us to the ship. Playing cockpit was small and not to the standard of the ship.

Bed comfy on ship. Quirky accommodations for one night

The uniqueness of the accommodation, which is why we choose Woodlyn motel.❤️❤️

Stayed in February 2025

It was an awesome unique spot, lovely and quiet. We stayed in the train, it was much bigger than expected, nice clean and very well set up with everything we needed. Only advice is to remember the room key of your going outside. it's very easy to lock your self out. The staff were awesome and very helpful. Would stay again, but maybe in the plane or boat next time. Only to change it up.

Stayed in February 2025

There was no cooker, just a hob and hot plate so limited amenities to cook a meal

The hobbit house was quirky even down to the furniture. It was clean with comfy beds and a great shower too

We stayed in one of the Hobbit homes… very cute. Close to caves and food options.

Needed more airing out - it smelt a bit musty. The kitchen is very basic and only has a small freezer...but it had everything we needed. The remote for the TV didn't work...but we were able to operate manually.

Very comfortable stay. It's super clean and very cosy. Great outlook and the surrounding gardens are beautiful. All the different accommodation types are really spread out on the property, so it's very private! Lots of space to spread out. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and had great water pressure and lots of hot water. Super close to Waitomo and we loved staying here!!!

Stayed in February 2025

Some things needed improvement, like loose door handles, the shower handle was floppy, The front door where we went in needs planing down as it was rubbing, and there were handles that had come off that hadn't been put back on. It would have been cool to be able to open the dining room doors like in the picture.

The boat itself is absolutely awesome the whole park is ureal with a plane you can sleep in and a hobit hole motel

Stayed in February 2025

Something really different. Great for kids. Lovely location. Very peaceful. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the front bow of the boat. The grounds are kept very well. Not far from facilities and the caves. Worthwhile stay - would do it again.

Stayed in January 2025

It was cold inside in the night before we turned AC heating on

Unique experience to spend night in a train, close to Waitomo caves
