If you have a hire car, the quickest and most convenient way of getting to the Waitomo Caves is undoubtedly driving. The caves are well signposted and within easy reach of nearby cities Auckland (121mi/195km – 2.5 hours) and Hamilton (45mi/73km – 1 hour).
Waitomo is a Maori word. “Wai” means water and “tomo” means hole or opening. Data concerning humidity and temperature is gathered daily. This information helps determine how many people are allowed into the caves at any one time. The limestone rock in the caves consists of seashells, ancient coral, and fish skeletons.
Kamahi Cottage offers 5-Star Bed & Breakfast accommodation 15 minutes from Otorohanga and an easy 30-minute drive from Waitomo Caves Village. The purpose-built cottage is ideal for a couple and can accommodate a maximum of 4 guests.
