Kiwis living the kiwi dream - Awesome! Might need some better work story jokes though hahahhaha jokes was awesome! Even if we did spot a lady doing a shiet in the bush.... lol thought we only saw that in rotorua 🤦‍♀️😅🤣 also don't book online book at the office directly! Given we cone from stock car backgrounds we probably were seeking more thrill but it was great!

Loved it - We had such a great time we went in April so it was a little chilly, but we dressed accordingly and had a blast! Our kids range from 3-10yr old and all loved it.

Great experience. Only... - Great experience. Only advice I would give to others is if you/family are sensitive to coldness take a beanie, gloves and even glasses/goggles maybe. The cold air after you have been wet can be a bit much.
