LithuaniaAn 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. ⭐✨

IsraelAmazing place, very chill, nice crowd and wonderful hosts. Loved all the animals in the property, very cute. The place has a tennis court, a pool, and lots of info about different attractions in the area. Location-wise, the whole region is quite rural, but the hostel is well located close to the main village

AustraliaStayed 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.

New ZealandAwesome place. Convenient location, close to Waitomo Caves. This is the real farm, ducks run around, you can see a huge beautiful bull, horses, and we were lucky enough to see sheep being sheared in the morning. Self-service check-in is very convenient. And everything, including the showers, toilets, and kitchen, is very clean and tidy. The kitchen has all the necessary facilities and cooking utensils. This place will be interesting for both adults and children (there is a trampoline, real tractors that they can sit on, and many other interesting objects and details). The staff is also very helpful.

Everything! When staying at a B&B, guests typically expect (or hope!) that the proprietors are gracious and engaging host and engagement with the other guests is entertaining and enjoyable. Also, a B&B exhibiting character and uniqueness is often expected.
At Abseil Inn we found all these. The various rooms at the Inn have their own unique theme (very cute!), the three other couples who stayed the Inn at the same time as us were all delightful, fun and easy to chat with, and made our experience a lot of fun.
But the best part were the proprietors, John and Helen. Both John and Helen have a keen sense of humor, are very conversant, great conversationalists, and made sure the guests had all they needed and were comfortable. Last, but not least, the breakfast that John and Helen prepared was DELICIOUS! Fruits, eggs (Joh's specialty are the "Waitomo poached eggs - to die for!), French toast, fresh-squeezed juices, toasts, fresh made jams and jellies, and a dozen flavors of New Zealand honey were on offer.
John and Helen are the consummate hosts who made our visit to Waitomo and their B&B very memorable!

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.
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.
