The stay with Ann was amazing. Really would recommend anyone who would like to have a nice petting farm experience. Our flight got delayed and we arrived at night around 10pm, Ann was very welcoming and kept on assuring us that it was alright. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom is very new. Ann was also very thoughtful by turning on the heater before we arrived. The bathroom was also very well heated so it was comfortable to stay. Breakfast was great with homemade Tamarillo and yogurt. We wanted hot breakfast with an extra NZD5 per person for bacon, eggs and potatoes which were definitely worth it. We spent about an hour or more petting the animals and taking lots of photographs. Our flight got delayed by a day so we could only join the shortest Waitomo glowworm cave tour. It was not that enjoyable for us as the tour guide wasn't very interesting and stern, so it depends on the tour guide. The stay at Big Bird definitely outshines our initial intention to visit the cave.
