Absolutely amazing location - the view from the room and porch is like a dream and where I shot my favourite picture from the trip. The host is very kind and chatty. The on-site grotto is very cute and worth seeing.

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.

This was a really quirky place. The couple who own and run it were lovely and so helpful. Breakfast is around a large dining table, so we were able to get to know our fellow guests. Easy walking distance to the restaurants. However, it is a steep climb back to the hotel. On a positive, means you can have a pud as you know you will have walked it off by the time you get back. A really lovely place, fantastic views and I would highly recommend.
Angus and Rachel deserve their superhost status. Absolutely beautiful location (amazing views!) with its own glow worm grotto nestled in native bush!
Gorgeous cottage and very warm and toasty. Great simple breakfast provided - all we needed. Angus full of information and suggestions for local walks and history of the area. Great proximity to Waitomo Caves. Can't recommend enough!
Richie & Lynn were fantastic hosts with great knowledge of the local area which was very helpful. The room was exceptionally clean, breakfast was spot on for a continental one with plenty of options. Able to use washing machine & dryer was an added bonus. We had dinner at the Tomo (about 100m walk) where the hospitality and food was sensational!!
Robert and Liz made us feel welcome. The breakfast was fantastic. Bed very comfortable. Didn't have enough time to walk around farm also it was raining. Very close to Waitomo Caves and others in the area. Robert has all the tips
