My partner and I had a wonderful time at Waitomo Big Bird! It's perfectly located to explore the nearby caves. Ann is just lovely, and invited us into their home each morning for a hearty home-cooked breakfast each day (featuring ostrich egg omelettes!). The personal guided tour of the farm was a really special experience, allowing us to get up close to the many cute animals that roam the farm. I will miss spending time on the chalet deck with Pippy (sweet old doggo) and gazing out over the rolling hills.
