Junohall Backpackers - Waitomo Caves

The location of this hostel was excellent, just a short walk from the town and close to the Waitomo Caves. The surrounding area was beautiful, with lovely trees and bush that made for a peaceful atmosphere. Additionally, the lady at reception was incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing great recommendations for sights and places to eat. The facilities were generally clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The common room was spacious and brightly lit, creating a comfortable space to relax.

That the private rooms were a bit small, and the WiFi was patchy in some areas. The shower pressure was also not the best, and some cubicles could have used a thorough clean.

Great location with stunning views. Spacious common room for work or relaxation. Good selection of movies available. Friendly and helpful staff. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice outdoor porch.
