World's Most Unique Hotel

Granted this is just my humble opinion but I think that Woodlyn Park near the Waitomo Caves on the North Island of New Zealand has to qualify for the World's Most Unique Hotel. Woodlyn Park has recently added a BOAT to the choices of accommodation locations you can choose from when staying at their lovely facility.



When Mr. Albatross and I were planning our trip to New Zealand we definitely wanted to go explore the Waitomo Caves on the North Island. They are famous for their Black Water Rafting tours and glowworm caves. I was just popping around the internet looking for a place to stay when we found Woodlyn Park and right then I decided that I had to stay there.



We were able to book the front part of the Bristol Freighter plane that they offer as an option. And it was super cool. We slept in the cockpit of the plane and all the gadgets and gizmos were still there to admire and play with.



Other sleeping options on the property include a train, a Hobbit motel, and now a boat. The whole place was very clean if more than a little unusual. We woke up in the morning to explore some and got to see all the animals they have on the property. We went on an off time of the year so only the tail unit on the plane was occupied and we got a peek at the hobbit motel and train unit, very cool.



This is not for someone looking for a luxury hotel but if you want a nice clean bed in an unusual place then this is the place for you!
