Try getting the one with the lunch buffet, everything on their buffet spread was really good! Would have eaten more if I can but 1 serving of everything was quite filling. The Waitomo caves are a bit of a let down maybe because the Hobbiton tour was perfect. On our way back, our guide even suggested to have some ice cream and buy some souvenirs. We really enjoyed the witty comments of our tour guide/driver, highly recommended!
