Personally, this was one of our favorite stays during our 3 week trip. Biddy was a great host and you really do get to meet all of her animals up close and personal. Having said that, this stay is about the animals and the experience. The accommodations are very clean and very practical. They will never be featured in architectural digest.... IE this is a REAL farm and not a Disney farm. Again, we loved it, and you are in the Waitomo area you would be silly not to spend at least a night here if you are an animal lover or have kids. It was an awesome stay.
