Waitomo Caves Hotel, Victorian hotel in Waitomo District, New Zealand.
The Waitomo Caves Hotel stands on elevated ground, featuring traditional verandas across both floors and an asymmetric two-story design with period facades.
Built in 1908 as Waitomo House with six bedrooms, the hotel expanded in 1927 to include 24 additional rooms and new dining facilities.
The property transfer to Tanetinorau Opatai Trust in the 1980s marked a significant step in New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi settlements.
The hotel provides accommodations near the Waitomo Caves, allowing visitors direct access to guided tours of the underground limestone formations and glowworm displays.
Film director Guillermo del Toro cited his experiences at this Category 2 Historic Place as inspiration for his creative work.
