    Had an awesome stay at Abseil Inn! John and Helen were super welcoming, and breakfast blew my mind—especially John’s secret Waitomo Eggs! The drive up is a bit steep, but the views were totally worth it!

    extensive breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    steep driveway

    My stay was truly delightful. John’s breakfast selections were extensive, especially the local honeys, and I adored the cozy atmosphere of the swamp room. However, the steep drive was a bit daunting. I'd definitely come back!

    quirky atmosphere, steep driveway, charming decor

    The check-in hours are inflexible, which was frustrating!!! The email communication regarding arrival times needs significant improvement to avoid unnecessary issues!!! Not everyone will enjoy navigating the steep drive up to the hotel!!!

    extraordinary food
    stunning views
    steep access road
    strict check-in hours
    limited privacy

    The breakfast offerings were extraordinary, featuring an impressive selection that included velvety French toast and a variety of fresh juices. Staying in the Bush room provided stunning views, creating a serene atmosphere for relaxation. However, the steep access road may pose a challenge for some, and check-in hours are quite strict, which could be inconvenient. Additionally, the limited rooms lead to less privacy than expected.

    Best breakfast vibes!

    Helen and John made us feel like family! The breakfast was super tasty, and we loved chatting with other guests. Just a heads up, the drive up can be a bit tricky if you're nervous behind the wheel, but the views are stunning once you get there!

    stunning views
    quirky atmosphere
    lovely breakfast
    unwelcoming owner

    Had a fantastic time with friends. We enjoyed stunning views and the quirky atmosphere. Perfect for unwinding after exploring the local attractions, especially the glowworm caves and taking a thrilling abseiling tour. Don’t miss the lovely breakfast spread! Just a heads up, be sure to let the hosts know your arrival time.

    We faced a real hassle at check-in. The owner was quite unwelcoming and seemed annoyed about our late arrival, even though we were unaware of the strict check-in hours.
