On looking back at our incredible holiday in New Zealand our thoughts always turn back to our day in the caves with our guide Paul of Green Glow.

We wanted to experience caving on our own without a host of others and Paul made it a day to remember. Our caving day was the highlight of our 3 weeks plus in the wonderful country and we can't thank him enough for the exciting memories we have of Waitomo caves and the patience he showed as we tackled the route.

Do yourself a favour and do not miss Green Glow caving with Paul whilst on your travels in the North Island.

Lovely site.

good facilities all over, nice welcome by staff which always starts things off right. Had a really funny night as we had a Kea settle on our roof and after inviting him to try someone else's van he seemed to call his mates over and then 3 of them spent most of the night surrounding our campervan squawking their disapproval. Was a real funny moment

This was an interesting trip but felt a bit put off by the staff who obviously have had their fill of tourists.

Boat trip to Walter Peak was relaxing although busy. When we got to the farm we can only describe the scene as chaos as no one seemed to know what was going on. Food at BBQ was good but again we felt we were wandering around prior to finding it a bit lost. Touch more organisation please.

Spent that little extra for the premium lounge and well worth the money.

Lovely staff and oh so relaxing and peaceful. Only annoying bit was all the passengers coming in without paying and having to be moved on. Suggest coded door lock to prevent.

Lovely welcome by caretaker.

Really interesting place to stay especially watching the horses training in the morning. Beautiful views with early fog across racecourse with sun making for wonderful photographic moments. No electric but that is the only distraction. Locals very friendly

Pitches quite close together, Ok as a campervan site but was a bit soul-less.Never got the feel that other camps gave.

Good position near lake.

After having such fun at Queenstown Luge we couldn't help comparing the two luge venues.

Rotorua was a lot less organised with the staff on a quiet day appearing a lot less motivated. Shame as it showed badly. The restaurant though was magnificent and would get a 10 on its own.

This is something else and given time this will be one of the most sought after experiences for visitors.

We were met by a real lovely couple of ladies who explained everything about the history of the idea and prepared us for our fun train ride. It is a fascinating system which is very reassuring and soon you are off on your journey. With an interesting commentary you can relax whilst your travel at a decent speed to the turnaround.

I can imagine this idea spreading to a good many other redundant rail lines around the world. Soon to be famous.
