Everything was amazing! Carolyn was incredibly friendly and kind, super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself was fantastic - charming, cosy, and functional with exceptional views (from so many rooms!). The property gardens were beautiful and the outdoor areas were absolutely perfect - there was lots of rain/wind on the days we were there but the outdoor areas were so great it didn't hinder our stay at all! (Well protected from elements, stunning views and comfy chairs!) Fireplace was amazing and Carolyn provided plenty of firewood for us. Great location as well- only 15mins from the waitomo caves/restaurants etc. yet we still had beautiful privacy up in the mountains! Overall we loved every part! Location, views, charm, and super comfy beds!! Great stay for couples, friends, families, holidays and little getaways! Carolyn was an exceptional host and the home was fantastic - we will definitely be back!

Literally everything! From start to finish. This was the start of our stay in New Zealand as we had travelled from Singapore and then Australia. We were ready to relax and unwind. If you want to stay somewhere with amazing views and the amenities you need then this is your place!

The staff were wonderful. We had planned to give Glow Worm Caves a miss even though we stayed at Waitomo, cos our little one was scared of caves and didn't wanna waste money. The front desk manager gave us directions to a bushwalk where you could see worms for free. It was one of the most exceptional sights we've seen!!

Very clean facilities, and the park is set up so that the pool and playground are in view of most of the cabins and powered sites. Staff were friendly and helpful with late check in. Very close to the Waitomo caves.

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great.

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.

I enjoyed the peacefulness of the countryside.

I enjoyed the peacefulness of the countryside. The have a small kitchen, with gas oven cooker, fridge. There are two bedrooms. Double bed. and the other has bunks. The shower is very small. Big outdoor bathtub! We stayed there as we visited Waitomo Caves the next day. We bought our own food to cook.

My first trip was 45 years ago.

My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water...

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Experience Waitomo Caves and it was amazing! Our guides, Garret & Alicia, were fun, helpful, informative, and made sure were were safe in the cave & the water; this is is a must do! They take pictures for you because it would be impossible to float in a tube & take pictures yourself.
