In the Waikato Region in the northern island of the Waitomo District of New Zealand right by the immaculate Waitomo Caves due to the Glow Worm population is the Woodlyn Park guesthouse. Not only is the location incredibly unique, but the set-up of the accommodation is also something unlike anywhere in the world and is only two and a half hours south of Auckland. Being respectful and conscious of the environment, Woodlyn Park is composed of natural materials and recycled old modes of transport into something spectacular.
Sleep on a ship
You don’t just have the option to stay in old carriages that were once part of the Waitanic Express Train.
