Everything! When staying at a B&B, guests typically expect (or hope!) that the proprietors are gracious and engaging host and engagement with the other guests is entertaining and enjoyable. Also, a B&B exhibiting character and uniqueness is often expected. At Abseil Inn we found all these. The various rooms at the Inn have their own unique theme (very cute!), the three other couples who stayed the Inn at the same time as us were all delightful, fun and easy to chat with, and made our experience a lot of fun. But the best part were the proprietors, John and Helen. Both John and Helen have a keen sense of humor, are very conversant, great conversationalists, and made sure the guests had all they needed and were comfortable. Last, but not least, the breakfast that John and Helen prepared was DELICIOUS! Fruits, eggs (Joh's specialty are the "Waitomo poached eggs - to die for!), French toast, fresh-squeezed juices, toasts, fresh made jams and jellies, and a dozen flavors of New Zealand honey were on offer. John and Helen are the consummate hosts who made our visit to Waitomo and their B&B very memorable!

Lovely owners; very helpful directing us to local bar (friendly and cheap steaks) and suggested we did a river walk in the dark to see glow worms - brilliant. Long chat about the clear skies. Ideal Motel when visiting the Glow Worm Caves. Brilliant.

Very clean facilities, and the park is set up so that the pool and playground are in view of most of the cabins and powered sites. Staff were friendly and helpful with late check in. Very close to the Waitomo caves.

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.

    My first trip was 45 years ago.

    My first trip was 45 years ago. In comparison back then there was no boat ride. So that was a nice way of finishing the tour. It was summer back then so there were more glow worms. So best time would be in the warmer months. We’re allowed to take photos at the very end only. Would have been nice to have been able to take a few of the caves itself without a flash as memorabilia. Also with groups going through close together it was hard to hear what our guide was saying over other guide’s voices. “Cup of tea” (John) was an excellent guide and very humorous and knowledgeable.

    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.

    Lovely little quaint cabin with breathtaking landscape views all around. The kitchen was equipped with many breakfast items. Amenities were ample and Angus was absolutely lovely as a host. The little glowworm grotto on the property was a special delight.
