About this property
Ship Endeavour Unit (non balcony) Waitomo Woodlyn Park
The Endeavour Unit is located along the side of the Waitanic Ship. This ship was a World War II Petrol Boat that was recovered from Australia and took 2 years to refurbish. This multi-deck unit can sleep up to 2 people. It consists of 2 deck levels with the living/dining room with kitchenette located on the top deck alongside a queen bed. Below in the hull, there is the bathroom featuring a shower and toilet.
This unit is suitable for people who can handle stairs and is not recommended for elderly or people with physical limitations.
Guests often ask how it was relocated on dry land. The owner often replies in jest that it was left there after the Great Flood when the animals departed the Ark 2 by 2!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room felt damp and smelt musky. The property required maintenance and updating. Fun for little kids. Power point for tv a worry, with cords not safely plugged in
