Everything. The location, the wonderful property and Carolyn, the host - not to mention her wee dog, Lacey. We had two grandsons with us and Carol was brilliant with them, showing them rocks, fossils and getting them friends with the sheep!

An amazing tiny house with great views through the windows, can be a bit loud from the road that's not too far, but not a problem in the evening or night because it doesn't get that much traffic then. Has great amenities, and would recommend for anyone staying to go outside and do some stargazing with zero light pollution. ⭐✨

Created years ago by the visionary Barry, this is a place where you can sleep in a train, a ship, an airplane, or even a Hobbit house. Inside a gigantic barn, a restaurant and a theater were built, filled with all kinds of memorabilia; in the past, it even hosted shows featuring pigs, sheep, and chickens. So the location has a lot to explore while it is very close to the Waitomo 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.

The location is great. The rooms are cozy. The common area is well appointed. And the hosts were the best part of the place. The breakfast was amazing and there was tea and coffee arrangements at all times. Definite must stay.

I have visited a few other caves and I was disappointed that there were not many glow worms to see. I would not recommend this trip however if you haven't visited many caves then you may enjoy it. After the visit we drove to a waterfall not far from the caves and this was good.

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.

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.

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.
