The process was smooth and effortless! The driving was safe, and although it was a long journey, I was able to sleep and enjoy the scenery of New Zealand! The Waitomo Caves and the Hobbiton Movie Set are both sights you can only see here, so you should definitely go!

A spa with a variety of hot springs and an excellent surrounding environment. The parking lot is spacious and there is a water fountain. However, it is a bit noisy because there are many Chinese people.

The Hobbit Village scene is highly restored, as if you were in a movie scene. At the end, you can get a free alcoholic drink in the tavern. The overall experience is relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely fantastic! very well managed from beginning to end. Started with shuttle pickup from your hotel then when we got there, we were welcomed with a very unique opening ceremony on boat! Followed by hangi dinner (traditional method of cooking underground) which was done well, very delicious! we then were entertained with cultural dance and performance, both my kids (4 and 10) loved it and sat quietly mesmerised the whole time. Finished with bushwalk to look at spring water and glowworm. Very well 3hrs spent. Cost us about AUD $400 for family of 4 (my 4yo is free).
