why we chose to stay- Woodlyn Park

Woodlyn Park www.woodlynpark.co.nz

My partner mentioned in the last post, her name is Kym by the way, anyway Kym and I have stayed in a lot of different accommodations throughout New Zealand, and I thought I would find a few of the websites where we choose to stay, and explain what it was about the site, that made us decide to stay with them.

The first place, is the most recent, Woodlyn Park near Waitomo caves, the site isn't your normal professional type accommodation website, but the site definitely suits the accommodation and the other tourist attractions the that are on the farm that these Motels are on.

We saw somewhere online that their were some Hobit Motels somewhere around Waitomo Caves(these caves have are limestone formations and a glow worm grotto) anyway a search on Google for
hobbit motel Waitomo
and the site was #1 in Google, which was a good start,
so we look at the page, and although the general look of the site was a bit hillbilly, the first picture we see is the hobbit motels...... oh they are so cool.... the rest of what the site looked like was forgotten, scroll down a bit and see a couple of photos of the inside of the motel.... and look, right there is the price, we went in the off season so it was a little less, but here we are, we see the outside, the inside of the motel, we have the price, and a short to the point description. What more could we want.... actually because it was highlighted we did look at the Billy Blacks Kiwi Culture Show which looked like fun, then ended up looking at a lot of the site, but eventually ended up back at the hobbit's page, and the very convenient and clearly marked book now....

Now here we were dubious, this site didn't look like it would have a secure webpage, but YES!!! a secure web page... way to go.... this is unusual on a New Zealand website, so we immediately made a booking, paid by credit card, and were happy campers.

When we headed there for our stay, the place was well signposted, everything was great, can't fault them at all.

The stay there was wonderful by the way, the bed was so comfortable, there was easy wheelchair access, the Billy Blacks Kiwi Culture Show was a ton of laughs, and we had an all round fantastic time.

Way to go Woodlyn Park !!!!! 10/10
