It was a pleasurable stay in the Train Car hotel for our stopover in Waitomo. Very cute and cozy. Had all the amenities we needed. Just recommend keeping the interior doors open at night to keep both the bathroom and kitchen/living room area warm.

Basic inside, cute outside
We've stayed here before so knew it was basic and roomy. The old curtains have been replaced and it was pretty clean. Linens were comfortable. The space heater was dated but worked. Cute place, overall needs some love, attention and definitely needs updating. It could be adorable. We missed the donkeys on the roof this time.

4/10 Fair
17 Mar 2024
Cool concept, well past it's prime
We stayed in the plane cockpit unit. It smelled so bad of sewer that we had to keep the windows open, and the bathroom fan/light on 24/7. Besides that, it needs a major deep cleaning. The heat pump unit hadn't been cleaned in ages and mold can be seen inside of it. The corners of the floor in the bathroom have a bunch of buildup in them. The bathroom sink is so small that it's barely useable. Would not recommend this unit - can't speak to the other rooms on the property. To be fair, the owner seemed nice, and we didn't bring up any issues at the time because they had limited office hours and we were tired and just wanted to leave.

Close to Waitimo Caves
What a thoughtful place with so many eccentric choices !! Quiet comfortable and close enough to the village with its choice of places to eat plus 10 minutes from the cave’s entrance

We stayed in the plane cockpit and it was not only charming and fun but comfortable. The owner gave us great instructions about things in the area and was very welcoming.

This ship has sailed, should be retired for sure
Property is quite run down. Clean but old. The floors are far from level in the boat. The fridge was at 30 degree slant. The beds downstairs were way too soft. It was a hammock. There is a strong moldy/ musty in the room until we opened the port hole.....YES port holes. There are a few window exhaust fans but one is really loud and the other is completely broken so just makes a ton of noise and doesn't work. Wouldn't take much to improve the property.

Awesome Funky Accommodation
Awesome funky place to stay. The Endeavor boat's room was bigger than I expected, and very clean and comfy. The farm animals were a great surprise. Location is a several minute drive from Waitomo Caves and shops. Amazing place. We'll be back again.

Very unique rooms set next to a farm. Very quiet and peaceful. We stayed in one of the 'boat' rooms and it was quite musty, especially downstairs. Also, because of the proximity to the farm, quite a few flying bugs in the bedroom.

Close accommodations to waitomo caves. Liked having a separate room for my daughter. Friendly check-in, we arrived early and the host saw us (not at the front desk for early check in) and came over for our check-in
