Helen Van Berkel checks in to the Waitomo Top 10 Holiday Park.
Getting there: About a two-and-half-hour drive from Auckland, if you can avoid the jams.
Check-in experience: Friendly and welcoming. And they loaned us a phone charger, the absence of which would have ruined a teenager's holiday.
Room: A self-contained one-bedroom cabin with a double bed in the lounge and bunksin the bedroom. A small veranda outside is a pleasant place to sit and watch the kids playing on the village green outside.
