Hi there!

I was lucky enough to win the Waitomo competition and was just getting back to you with feedback for this. It was great!

We did the TumuTumu toobing and had a fabulous time! Recommend this as an A+++ activity. There was about 10 of us in the group and we had 2 guides and it really was super awesome.

The accommodation was neat. An old building and can just imagine her in her day. Apparently the most haunted hotel in NZ our guides were thrilled to tell us, but happy to say we weren't bothered by any ghosts! We ended up staying for 3 nights so paid for the 3rd night ourselves. It had a neat feel to it and would happily recommend...

Many thanks!
