Sightseeing

Waipu Caves is at walking distance from our cottage, you will find stalactites, stalagmites and glow worms. Bring your gumboots and torch and enjoy! From the caves, a 2-km walk leads you through a picturesque karst limestone landscape across farmland and regenerating bush to a point where you can take in the magnificent views. But there's much more to see and do in Waipu, these are my recommendations.
