Our stay in the train motel was certainly an adventure! We even met an Orc along the way (and took a selfie). Once we arrived the train was actually quite nice and comfortable. However, we did not expect to have to drag our luggage on winding narrow roads in the heat of midday and on dirt road to check-in and the train. We arrived at Waitomo via bus and did not have a car. We had another long walk to see the Glowworm cave and to take our luggage back to the museum for the return bus. If you do not have a car, this location is too far away.
