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. ⭐✨

Helen was a lovely host, made great breakfast and kept us warm and comfortable. Made Abseil Inn a home for us for two nights. Beer and wine available for a very reasonable price and made our evenings fun and enjoyable.

The staff were wonderful. We had planned to give Glow Worm Caves a miss even though we stayed at Waitomo, cos our little one was scared of caves and didn't wanna waste money. The front desk manager gave us directions to a bushwalk where you could see worms for free. It was one of the most exceptional sights we've seen!!

Loved that we were left to our own and were able to enjoy the peace and quiet, my kids loved the little park you have and really enjoyed feeding the pigs.

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.

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.

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.

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water...

We booked an excursion with The Legendary Black Water Rafting Experience Waitomo Caves and it was amazing! Our guides, Garret & Alicia, were fun, helpful, informative, and made sure were were safe in the cave & the water; this is is a must do! They take pictures for you because it would be impossible to float in a tube & take pictures yourself.
