Unique, wholesome, tranquil and just a beautiful experience. To read about the immense history of the location and how this oasis came to be over the last 100 years is a special characteristic that makes you appreciate the opportunity to holiday here. Biddy was splendid, kind and we had a great chat upon arrival-not to mention the lovely niceties provided that really go the extra mile. This is a serious contender for the best retreat in Waitomo.
