We were greeted by a nice gentleman and the room is very spacious for 2. Very good location and easy to park next to the room.

The location was at the top of the mountain with a magnificent view. The cabin had everything you could need, nestled amongst a much loved garden. Carolyn was very friendly and welcoming as was Lacey the dog. It was just so peaceful and private. A unique experience in nature.

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!

Fantastic location, wonderful hosts. Breakfast was yum.
The driveway is long-steep (we were given full warning), but manageable even in a small car (we had a rented corolla and it handled it fine). Don't be scared!

Stayed in the train and it was more spacious than original thought. LOVED the view from the windows. Kids loved the countryside.
Beds were comfortable and the aircon was a plus. Super close to the caves.

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.

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.
