Only stayed for one night but it was a novel experience. Booked the entire plane for my family, but ended up staying in the ship as we thought it was much nicer and more spacious. The rooms in both the plane and the ship probably need a bit of a renovation but this didn't detract too much from the accommodation.... More

We stayed a night in the 'Waitanic' ship motel at Woodlyn Park which we booked as a suprise for our visiting guests. They loved it and so did we! Such a unique idea and some different. We thought it was nicely laid out and everything was really clean and the beds very comfortable. Would like to come back and stay... More

We've stayed in the Waitanic Captain's Cabin and loved that; this time we were visiting with 2 mums and 2 teen boys and their choice was the cockpit of the plane. Everyone was intrigued as to how this would pan out and it's safe to say, we all loved it. The bedding situation is a double in the cockpit upstairs,... More

We stayed in the Ship with our grandchildren. It was an awesome experience, and I can't wait to go back to try out the Plane, Train or Hobbit Hotel. The place is very close to the Waitomo Caves and eateries. The owner gave us some very helpful tips regarding visting the Caves too.

I booked this based on the trip advisor reviews and was quite excited for this unique accommodation experience but was disappointed. We stayed in the captains unit of the ship. We were 2 couples but there was only one double bed in a room which was quite nice. The other beds were single beds in the hold of the ship... More

We only added Woodlyn Park to our visit to NZ because of Tripadvisor but it really wasn't for us sadly. We were disappointed I think more because of the build up the reviewers had given but we booked the plane room and were so disappointed. It did smell very musty and although it was clean it was like going back... More

We stayed in both of these fantastic themed cabins, there were both well fitted out and clean and fun. The scenery was beautiful and it just made us feel like we were in a new world, photos were fun doing the 'Titanic' ship pose and the round hobbit doors were bizarre. Loved this tranquil area.

We stayed 1 night here at the Hobbit double studio. Great fun, felt like a teenager again for the fun of living in a hobbit hole. We checked out the Airplane cabin tail room as well, it would be nice to stay 1 night in the hobbit room and 1 night at the plane room.

We stayed in the hobbit room for one night in November and it was heaps of fun. There were only 2 of us staying but the room was huge with a second bedroom containing bunk beds. The smell when you entered was a little musty and we couldn't keep the windows open at night due to the bugs. However, this... More

We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite of the Waitanic (Unit4). We had a dissapointing start with a mix up with our bookings. We initially booked the tail of the Plane unit but was later told it was no longer available and booked into the unit on the ship. Very confusing. But it worked out well as the unit on The... More
