Adorable, so simple, breakfast ingredients left for us in the fridge. Games in cabinet for the kids, and the cutest little handmade puppets you have ever seen. Location had a fun, well marked hike that was like no hike we had ever done. Lots of neat little decorative touches and thoughtful things throughout the Airbnb.

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.

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.

Our tour of the caves with a local guide was great.

Our tour of the caves with a local guide was great. It made all the difference that it was a local Māori guide telling us the historical story of the caves and those that first offered it for viewing. Our guide was funny and informative. The walkways were well lit and we felt safe the whole way round. Our grandchildren 11yrs and 8yrs loved the boat trip in the dark and were mesmerised by all the glow-worms.

On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer.

On this trip we went with Spellbound Cave Explorer. Went to two caves the first, after a short walkthrough bush we entered the cave and then got into a rubber raft where we were pulled along the underground stream , looking up at the ceiling it was covered with glow-worms. Very pretty & fascinating. After a coffee break we went into the second cave where we saw lots of stalagmites and stalactites and even the bones of an ancient extinct bird, the Moa. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us how the rock formations were formed. An excellent tour.

Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave.

Stunning stalactites and stalagmite formations. A huge cave. The tour guide was well spoken and clear and sung beautifully to demonstrate the acoustics. Very clean and spacious walking areas, well supported stairs. Much bigger than imagined. The glow worms were so pretty it was like a stary night sky in the outback. Priceless experience.

We loved staying in the 100 year old cottage, it was so charming and lovely. Felt like we were back in time. We loved that breakfast was included, was so helpful not to have to worry about that. Was excellent that there was a washing machine in the cottage. Heaters worked really well to warm the place up. We loved the friendly farm cat and being able to see all the farm animals. It was great value for money and would definitely stay there again

Angus was exceptional with his customer service ( this even trumped some 5 star hotels in Wellington) the accommodation was amazing with views people pay to see, plus at night the little glow worm hide away was just magic. The breakfast provided was well presented and more than we expected. Thanks for the exectial stay we highly recommend this stay.

Met the owners, Bob and Liz. Wonderful folks. Place was so serene. Stars were visible on a clear sky. Family cat was friendly to strangers. Morning was foggy and nice, fresh air. Breakfast was so tasty, butter, lovely jams and fruits. Jams were amazing. We were glad to have, being at this place for a night, for a great experience in our lives.

We had a lovely 1 night stay. Hosts Richy and Lyn greeted us on arrival, showed us around and provided useful knowledge of Waitomo and activities and places to eat in the area. The continental breakfast provided had many options. The room was comfortable. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
