what a cool and unique place to stay in Waitomo! At check in we were there just in time to meet some of the farms mini animals and big birds. Very cool and so friendly! We stayed in the chalet for one night and it had everything we needed to relax after a long day of driving and hiking. We slept like babies and woke up with the sun and animals. We unfortunately had to leave very early for a tour , but we wish we could have stayed for breakfast. I can only assume it was great based on the care and hospitality. Big Bird B&B is in a great location for all the Waitomo adventures and a truly unique place to stay on the north island. We would highly recommend it for any animal and nature lover.
