“Decent stay for one night”
+My cabin had a very nice view over the cow pasture, with sunset and a beautiful sky at night. It had heated up in the sun during the day and was still warm in the evening which was great at this time of the year.
−No towels provided! It's the only private room in NZ I've ever stayed where you have to bring your own. I had one of the cabins furthest away from the highway but you could still hear it a bit. It's not in walking distance to the Waitomo caves or other places, so you definitely need a car to get around. Overall, it's a bit expensive for what you get.

“Won’t visit again”
+Proximity to the caves and the communal kitchen
−The ability to close the windows, no screens on the windows so bugs got in, lack of response from the after our service when the smoke alarm went off at 2am. Lack of hand soap and mirror.

“Overall if you value your money and comfort don’t waste your time coming here, I’m convinced the owners havent even test”
+The location was OK, views out the back overlooking the country were nice.
−On arrival the homestead may look appealing but we had to wait for the staff to stop chin wagging in the office (20 minutes) to get some service and our key to the room. (They gave us the wrong room to begin with) there’s no parking near the cabins either. The layout of the cabins wasn’t thought out very thoroughly, as a lot of them are west facing a cop the afternoon sun pretty badly, this in combination with lack of air con or ceiling fans (pedestal fan was supplied but made zero difference) made for a horrible stay during the day time. We had to go into town for a few more hours so that we weren’t sitting at our accomodation cooking ourselves. Opening the windows Is not an option due to ZERO fly screens to stop bugs coming into our space, very annoying and not thought out at all. The mattress was thin and hard. The pillows are all way too thin, uncomfortable and don’t hold their form very well.

“Not worth the price spent”
−Very disappointing. Paid for a private toilet and shower however when we went to shower in the morning there was no hot water. Messaged the property owner and no response till this day. Bed had a spring sticking out and you could feel it while sleeping. Pillows also had stains
