Location is serene and like a postcard. Host Carolyn is super sweet & helpful. Think of this as a break from city in your vacation home/ cabin up in the hills, simple, functional and clean.

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!

10/10 – An Absolutely Wonderful Stay My stay at the farmstay was truly a 10 out of 10. Everything was very clean, and although my room was a bit older, it perfectly matched the charm of the place and made the experience feel even more authentic and cozy. The farm itself was absolutely beautiful peaceful, well-kept, and simply a lovely place to relax. But what made this stay truly unforgettable were the two owners. I honestly can’t thank them enough. When I was almost left on my own in a difficult situation, they stepped in and helped me so much. They were incredibly kind, supportive, and generous. Their warmth and willingness to help meant more to me than I can put into words. It was genuinely one of the best encounters I have ever experienced. A huge thank you again for everything – I will never forget your kindness.

Basic but clean. Very comfy beds. Was excellent for our one night stay. No wifi as wasn’t working. Panicked initially as wasn’t a fan in room as promised (menopause hot flushes so needed) but had to ask around and another guest says there’s a young girl who I can ask etc. bless her she called the owners and eventually got through to them and dropped one off.

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.
