Great location within 2 mins of the Waitomo caves. Great staff. Only issue was the train carriage moved a lot when you walked inside
Property was nice but maybe a bit overrated and expensive for what we got. Eg captains chairs in lunge , rattan was worn and covered up. Not comfortable.
Very quirky, kids would love this place. Fascinating history of how it was established.

Quirky
A very different type of hotel room which was quirky and enjoyable. The ship and rooms could do with some tlc but if you’re after something left field this is perfect.
Very unique. Definitely required for any bucket list.

Overall a unique experience
This was a very unique place to stay and would have been comfortable overall except it was very warm inside the room. It was a very humid night and the fan and air conditioner could barely keep up. Had it been cooler it would have been much more enjoyable.
This was the coolest, most unique hotel I've ever been to!
The room was clean, and excitingly unique. The properly was so warm, and even the pig came over to greet us! Truly a once in a lifetime experience

Unique structure, friendly staff
Convenient location. Friendly staff. Spacious quarters. Could use some maintenance on the exterior and my son's bed down stairs wasn't very comfortable. Mine upstairs was good. Did enjoy the quirkiness of it

Woodlyn Park Plane Cockpit
Very unique property to stay in. Check in was very easy and lots of information given about the area including attractions and places to eat. Location was amazing.
We stayed in the cockpit of the plane which was incredible. The beds were very comfortable and there was a small kitchenette with the usual amenities. The toilet/shower was more than large enough.
The only downside (if there is one) is that the cockpit area was incredibly hot (we were there in the height of summer) and although there is air conditioning downstairs, because of the small hatch to get up to the cockpit, it doesn't really reach to it. However, after dark it did cool down and was much more bearable. It did not detract from our experience but might be something to be aware of.
Unique experience! We enjoyed our overnight in the plane cockpit unit, but with a small child we wouldn’t stay much longer. However, would still highly recommend just for the experience!
This property is either very old or hasn’t received any proper maintenance from management (probably both). The room smelled moldy, there were dead bugs on the floor, and ants crawling on the bed the night we checked-in. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, no matter how “fun” it sounds to stay in a hobbit hole.
Quirky properties, clean and comfortable.
Some don't have air conditioning.
Overall good.

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.
Close to waitomo caves, we stay 1 night in the aeroplane. It was warm, clean. I would stay again.

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.
