    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.

    Glowworms good.

    Glowworms good. Cave formations underwhelming compared to Tasmania and not value for money, tour guides were excellent though. Village pub and restaurant food was just average but staff were friendly and professional.

    We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before...

    We did the Waitomo Cave boat tour in the evening before dinner and the Ruakuri Cave tour the next morning. They both were stunning. Guides were friendly and informative. We heard from another couple on the second tour that they had done several other caves and an exciting adventure (the Abyss if I remember correctly). I want to do that next time.

    The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing.

    The caves are fantastic and well worth seeing. Harrison was a great tour guide (and has a good singing voice too) The pathway through is well paved and there are a few sets of steps, but they do have good handrails. People say that once you've seen glow worms you've seen them all, but you can't quite beat the sheer number of them as you go through the caves on the boat. If you can avoid the noisy people who can't be quiet when they've been asked to and then don't know what comes next because they weren't listening, this will enhance your trip.

    We just did the one cave.

    We just did the one cave. I would recommend doing the main caves and the Ruatara as well. If you are young and up for it, add the black water rafting. Oh and don’t forget the night time walk of Ruatara - see Lonely Planet.

    Richie was a tremendous host. At check-in, he took us out on the deck and told us about every building in the small town. His enthusiasm was infectious. He also gave us tips and a map to above-ground glow worms. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and outfitted with everything you would expect staying at a friend or family member's home. Breakfast and the accompanying conversation were a delight. We would never consider staying anywhere else in the region but here.

    The main building where the kitchen and lounge are, is clean and has everything you can think of for a pleasant stay. Bathrooms a d shower are clean. Our double room was as big as 2 beds and less than 2 meters in between, if you're visiting the caves and need somewhere to sleep, it's a good setup. If you don't want to cook, the cafe nearby has good food. We tried their boil up pie and breakfasts, we loved them the food.

    Great atmosphere, friendly owner always joking around, beautiful surroundings (farm), clean showers and kitchen, option to buy items for dinner/breakfast, and lots of communal space (inside & out!) with couches, benches and games, books... For those arriving with InterCity Bus: they're willing to pick you up, just call ahead if you don't feel like walking.

    This is not a Motel. It is cabins and do not have toilet or bathroom facilities in them. You have to walk to another area for them. They were clean and well-maintained with good heating and ventilation. Basic but good-sized (king single bunks) beds with good bedding. Great kitchen and dining room (shared) Good cafe next door for breakfast.

    The breakfast is amazing and generous and meeting other travellers is enjoyable. Views of the rural landscape are beautiful. Easy access to the caves. The hosts Helen & John are very convivial and easy to contact. The honey tasting was a bonus. Highly recommended.

    A novelty experience that's quite unique to be in your very own Hobbit house. As per website photos. Love the concept and would recommend others trying the experience. Waitomo Caves are a short drive away.

    No inhouse breakfast at the time we were there. Cafe, within walking distance for coffee and breakfast or available at the caves. Plenty of meal options after five,Tomo's Bar fifty meters away was excellent.
