After a days hiking at Te Aroha's Wairongomai Valley, it was such a pleasure to return to The Cavern for another night of Airbnb Bliss. Enjoying the views of the strawberry and blackberry farm from the large big windows and deck one can sit outside , The Cavern on Sue and Rons place to stay a few minutes drive from Te Aroha township was a pleasure for this Aucklander for two nights this winter. The big lounge area is ample space for two..with a heat pump and comfortable couch, ..large TV, decent sized fridge, microwave, and even a two element small stove kept me happy. Endless hot water for the shower was a bonus..and the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of home comforts and the owners house is a decent space away from the accommodation. Plenty of hiking around Te Aroha with the Hot Pools and delicious food options at either Austin's Cafe or Ironque and they have a big Countdown Supermarket. However ..at The Cavern all is provided for a splendid stay..and in summer you can pick your own blackberry and strawberries. Drink coffee too..and have ice-cream I was told.. However my winter stay for two night's away from Auckland was a memorable experience staying at The Cavern. Go there and experience Te Aroha. . The town of love..
