Juno Hall is about one mile outside of Waitomo Village, just across the street from the Blackwater Café and Caving. Juno is also the location for the horse treks and you can get picked up for Big Red's 4x4 tours as well. These tours are blast because the guide gears the ride to your ability and grins wildly the whole time.
This hostel resembles a ski lodge. A one-story building with several rooms accommodating 40 people in twin to dorm style rooms. There are half a dozen showers, a laundry room, large kitchen and dining room as well as a TV room. Picnic tables and a smoking area are on the deck outside.
Two phones are located inside with prepaid cards available for purchase from the check-in/travel desk. If you come in after office hours a list of available accommodations with a note to pay in the morning is posted. Tours, transportation, and other accommodations can be booked here. Several popular food items and cold drinks are for sale as well. Considering the nearby café closes at 4pm, this can come in handy. Your other option is to walk a mile to the village, as there are taxis or other forms of transportation. Even in the village there is only a mini market and a few restaurants.
There is also a non-heated outdoor pool with inner tubes, a tennis court, and trampoline and outside barbeque. Seems everything is there or available at this hostel and the owners are very accommodating as well as the other staff.
