"Basic, clean accommodation, a 13 minute drive from Waitimo caves, but in Te Kuiti so close to restaurants and shops. One cafe is right opposite the accommodation."
"My wife and I stayed for two nights in cabin 1. It was charming, clean, and exactly as advertised. The small kitchenette was perfect for our purposes (we had not intended to cook & instead done in the village); the fridge was nicely stocked for breakfast. The heaters worked well in both the main room and in the bathroom that’s just a few steps away across the porch (private). The bathroom is small but, again, perfectly sufficient.
The location is breathtaking. The view from the porch across the valley is sublime, from dusk till dawn. We also loved walking down to the glowworm grotto on the property—a nice “private” supplement to cave tours nearby. Our morning hike in the area was also wonderful. The quiet and peace with only sheep and cows nearby (& the occasional farmer) can’t be beaten.
We would return in a heartbeat if we returned for another visit to NZ. Highly recommended."
