Visited for dinner and to watch the rugby final on a Sat evening. Friendly, entertaining and attentive service, was matched by excellent meals. Also a VERY fine margarita (and I've had a few!) and local beers. Family friendly but also plenty of couples.

We were spending a night at the Waitomo Caves Hotel and noticed that there was a restaurant in the premises and decided to eat in. The decor and surroundings were elegant and relaxing. The wait staff could not have been more attentive or friendlier. The food on offer was reasonably priced and everyone on the table were absolutely delighted with their choice. Being a vegetarian, I was disappointed that there was nothing on offer except for a salad minus the meat, but the onion rings made up for that. It would be great to see at least one main meal on offer for vegetarians in future. We were the only ones in the restaurant that night and were very surprised as the restaurant is so pretty, the food delicious and the price so reasonable. I thoroughly recommend a visit if you re in the area.

The Waitomo Homestead serves as a welcoming gateway to the Waitomo area. The perfect place for guests to relax in before or after their Waitomo experience on our expansive deck with rural views or in our spacious cafe, on our comfy couches or in our kids

After visiting the Waitomo Caves, we came here for a buffet lunch as part of our tour. The foods were good tasty and included vegetables, salad,potatoes, rolls, etc. The meat items were served separately at your table including steak, grilled chicken and fried fish. All were yummy. The buffet also included a chocolate cake and drinks (water, beer, wine or sodas) at no cost. Overall pretty good for a tourist buffet.BOTTOM LINE: The restaurant also caters to walk-in al a carte business separately as well and also has a nice coffee bar. MY RATING: 7/10.Inside also is a nice gift shop and place to but cave tour tickets.Kia Ora midwaytoheaven,Many thanks for your extensive review of our coach tour buffet lunch, cafe, retail and cave reservations. We are most happy you enjoyed your stop with us, safe journeys to youWarm Waitomo Wishes

Came for dinner the restaurant is well elevated can be challenging if you have someone with mobility issues. Not much parking all that being said the restaurant has a pleasant outdoor area overlooking the valley. The food was good enough options for our party crafts beers on tap. Very popular with locals all ways a good sign.
