4/5 - Good
This is a rainforest, so expect to get wet on hikes.






A standard Kiwi motel/hotel but far over priced for what the room offered. VERY small shower and single bed I could have rolled out of. The breakfast cost was excessive.

We were running late for checking. Left a message and instructions were waiting in the after hours box. No problem.

Unfortunately we hit very poor weather conditions so we did not get to see the area as we had hoped.
Peter's Pool was gorgeous. Go when it's dark and see the glow worms.
Areas like this are why I am glad we drove up the West side of the island.
Big tourist trap!
We have seen many glaciers so did not go to this one. We were just passing through.
