Waitomo bed and breakfast






Our b and b in Waitomo was amazing. When we drove up to it, the road twisted and turned and kept going up and up. We had a hire car for this part of our journey. Shirley would have struggled anyway I think. When we arrived, there were some gorgeous wooden cabins right at the top of the world!
We had views of Taupo and Mount Ruapehu, the air was fresh and the sun was warm. The cabins were on a big farm and we could walk around to explore if we wanted. There was a pond nearby and a mini glowworm walk too.
It`s a shame we were only here for one night, this was one of the nicest places we had stayed at. The hosts were really friendly and hospitable and the cabins warm and comfortable. We also had OUR OWN bathroom!
Angus, one of our hosts also worked at the blackwater rafting outfit and said that as the New Zealand Prime Minister was also Minister for Tourism, he had done black water rafting too and thought it was a great experience. I can`t imagine Gordon Brown trying it, but who knows?!
