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.

Great location amidst flowering meadows, easily accesible and easy to find on google maps. Very friendly and super helpful hosts (even sent us some forgotten items). Check-in seamless and easy. Accomodation was beautiful outside and inside, modern and brand new interrior. Beds were very comfy and warm. Kitchen was well stocked. They even provided us with breakfast, eggs, milk, and bread which was very much appreciated. Fast WiFi. TV with netflix option. Would have happily stayed longer! Thank you!

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.

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.
