Waitomo Big Bird B&B is near the caves so is a great place to warm up and rest after a caving experience. The welcome was warm (heaters switched on, hot tea poured and chocolate cake provided) and I found the animal tour interesting. My partner took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep. We followed recommendations and dined out at Huhu Cafe, wow - what an asset to the area, highly recommend that too. We will recommend Big Bird B&B to all our friends- and anyone reading this!
