The house is almost the highest spot in Waitomo with great views so you feel like a king/queen when you're outside looking over everything. Louise checked in with us when we first got there and later to make sure we were enjoying our stay, which was very nice. Great communication! It's extremely clean inside, with all of the comforts of home. If you did need anything you are a 30sec walk to the HuHu Cafe(literally directly under/behind the house), 2 mins from the general store & I-Site/Post Office and 5mins from a bar and a pizzeria. The caves are a 2min drive or 10-15min walk(~500m) and Blackwater Rafting is also a 4min drive or 20min walk (1.5km). Great location for whatever you want to do in the surrounding area! We highly recommend staying here!
