It was like a home away from home! The views were fabulous, the beds were so comfy! And we loved the outdoor area. It really made the final day of our trip so special. Carolyn was so kind and accommodating.

Fantastic location and really well run. Facilities have everything you need. Really appreciate the owners' suggestions on spots to visit in the area. They gave us detailed directions and a map, and lent us torches to go for a night walk and see the glowworms outside the caves (for free!). Would absolutely stay again

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. ⭐✨

Beautiful environment, useful facilities, … and most importantly: cleanliness. This was the cleanest hostel we’ve stayed at (we’ve been to many around the N island). Best spice of the place: Dave, his unique sense of humor and his lovely dog :)

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.

Lovely owners; very helpful directing us to local bar (friendly and cheap steaks) and suggested we did a river walk in the dark to see glow worms - brilliant. Long chat about the clear skies. Ideal Motel when visiting the Glow Worm Caves. Brilliant.

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.
