It was already dark when we first arrived at the accommodation. Richard helped us with our luggage, which touched us very much! (Our luggage was really heavy) and then introduced us to the attractions and restaurants of the town. The location of the lodge is excellent, surrounded by flowers and birds. We reported the group on the Internet that night, and went to the glowworm caves the next day, glowworms such as stars,like a dream, like entering the fairy tale world, really recommend here.

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!!

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.

    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.

    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 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.

    An amazing location. Stunning views and beautiful sunrise to admire from the veranda. Cosy cottage with perfect provisions for our breakfast. Angus provided a very warm welcome. We enjoyed a walk around the family pond and ventured down to their own grotto with glow worm, just down from the cottage. The main Waitomo caves were a v short drive away. We can’t imagine why you would stay anywhere else in this area!

    Great location with a fabulous restaurant across the road (Huhu cafe - make sure you book), convenience store/cafe next store. 5 minute drive to Waitomo Caves. Half hour drive to a lovely gorge and a little further on for a magnificent waterfall! Room has the basics you need and provides a continental breakfast. Richard and Lyn have lots of good information to help you plan your time.
