9.6/10 Exceptional! (35 reviews)
If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in Waitomo that will not disappoint, this is the place. The hosts are next level hospital, particularly “Ratbag” and you’ll be hard pressed to beat the views. Tranquil, peaceful, cosy, relaxing and truly restorative. No, you won’t get wifi or room service ...

Ruakiri bush walk and cave tour was quite fantastic

4/5 - Good

Ray

a very snotty young girl at the reception area of Ruakuri cave really put us off. She should not be dealing with the general public. We left without touring the cave because of her attitude ☹️.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We went on the Spellbound cave tours and it was excellent!!! I really enjoyed it and it was with smaller groups and not crowded.

5/5 - Excellent

Billy

A once in a lifetime experience! We have waited 40 years to see the glow worms.
