Get your climbing gear ready…
"Property is very close to glow worm cave. The climb from the parking to your room should come with a Sherpa. I’d have packed a small overnight bag if I had known. It’s comfortable, the owners are delightful folks, and the breakfast hearty and fresh."

"This property was very unique and a great place to stay, especially after visiting the Hobbiton Movie Set earlier in the day.

Ruakiri bush walk and cave tour was quite fantastic

4/5 - Good

Ray

a very snotty young girl at the reception area of Ruakuri cave really put us off. She should not be dealing with the general public. We left without touring the cave because of her attitude ☹️.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We went on the Spellbound cave tours and it was excellent!!! I really enjoyed it and it was with smaller groups and not crowded.

5/5 - Excellent

Billy

A once in a lifetime experience! We have waited 40 years to see the glow worms.
