Everything was excellent. Great location, very near to the glowworm cave, very nice and clean rooms & bathroom, comfy beds. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I wish I stayed for more than one night.

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.

Whilst small by design, the place had everything we needed for a nights stay before heading to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves the next day (only 10 mins away). The kids loved their bunk room. Although we didn't need some of it (we were on our last day in NZ and already had breakfast provisions which we needed to finish up), the bread, eggs, milk and drinks were a welcome sight after travelling for the day. My daughter did decide to have some eggs at breakfast and liked them - we though they may have come from the chooks next door. In our haste, we forgot to take the drinks with us but all in all it was a lovely touch. We enjoyed spotting the farm animals next door as well.

So peaceful. I've always liked city life but maybe living on a farm is the way to go! Loved all the animals and watching the cows from my bed. Good bed and the cabin was cosy.

Very private, loved the homely rustic vibe - hot water bottles, blankets for stargazing & sunrise. Breakfast provisions were delicious including the home made condiments.

    We booked a room for 1 night here and the stay was fabulous. Our hosts were delightful and we felt at home here. The room comes with an ensuite bathroom and had a side entrance towards the parking lots. Breakfast was provided (you had to indicate interest the evening before) and you are bound to be full after breakfast! The experience felt like us returning home to visit our grans, leaving us stomached full and hearts warm. P.S there is also a chonky cat residing here!!!

    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.

    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 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.
