If I could give 11/10, I would! This cottage was so comfortable and Paula had literally thought of everything. You could tell so much thought and care had gone into everything which was greatly appreciated. The hosts were super friendly (but gave us total privacy at the same time). The location was perfect for visiting the glow worm caves as it was only a short drive away. Would 100% recommend staying here!

Lovely little cottage with fully equipped kitchen for supplied bacon and eggs with muesli/bran/yoghurt/fruit/toast/fudge etc. Gorgeous rolling gardens with ponds, bridges, seats, pathways and viewpoints. Allow 45min each way for the walk up to the secret waterfall( well worthwhile). Jill is friendly , helpful and hardworking.

Very comfortable bed, welcoming hosts, nice views over the countryside, loved the spa. Really enjoyed sitting outside for breakfast with bird song in the bush next to the room. Simple breakfast supplies of cereal, toast, plenty fruit and yoghurt. And even a little bottle of wine and beer plus juice which we didn't have but appreciated them being supplied if wanted. Friendly dog!

First, Mel and Glenn-- they're so nice, so very accommodating, sat with us by a lovely fire pit overlooking their expansive valley view and talked about their family, domestic and farm animals, and hobbies, while we shared our stories and the horror that the US has become in one short month before we began asking about NZ emigration procedures! After nightfall, Glenn pointed out the Southern Cross and Milky Way and we headed inside as we had an early morning. Our room was large, the beds comfortable, and there were many fun snacks to munch on, which we tried not to eat but hey, vacation is for trying new things, right? Sorry if sheets were filled with crumbs, Mel, and thanks for everything!

This was the best property we stayed in on our 2 week road trip around Nth Island of NZ. And we stayed at some posh places (5 Star, etc.). Blown away with this farm stay. Such a lovely people. Great accommodation with every amenity. So peaceful and relaxing. If you're visiting Waitomo caves of anywhere in the area - Stay here. It's beautiful

One of the motels that are ubiquitous in New Zealand.

One of the motels that are ubiquitous in New Zealand. Perfect, functional accommodation for one night or two. Clean, perfunctory, and ok. Does it merit the price that is asked? That is a question of supply vs demand .....

The Food & restaurants were fantastic.

The Food & restaurants were fantastic. Te Kuiti was very central to many of the sightseeing activities like the world famous Waitomo Caves & Pio Pio, where many scenes for the 'academy award winning movie ' by Peter Jackson, "Lord of the Rings' were filmed. Only a stone throw away from Matamata, where the 'Hobbiton movies' were made!

This is a farming commercial area close to the Waitomo Caves and cave worms tour. The town is basically two main roads with a few restaurants, stores, supermarket and other services. There is a train stop. We did not use the train for travel. It is only 15 minutes to Waitomo Caves and a good place to start exploring the cliffs along the Pacific Ocean further south.

The Waitomo Caves is a must-see, and there are other attractions close by. We grabbed lunch at the Waitomo General Store which is more than just a store.The Cafe and menu selection is amazing and very reasonably priced. Cassandra and her team are a friendly bunch and super efficient.

The garden at the cottage was amazing to explore.

The garden at the cottage was amazing to explore. Te Kuiti has a fantastic Indian Takeaway with a wide range of menu options including a traditional Chicken Tikka Marsala and a toandoor oven to make Naan. Only problem was that we arrived on a weekend and a lot of restaurants nad safes were closed and no shops open (this is normal in New Zealand country areas but not where we come from in Australia). Ladies in the inforamtion centre were very helpful.

The reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. My room was spacious, very well set up, and mine had a large balcony overlooking a creek. Very comfortable bed, which was very welcome after a long drive. Helpful hints: the motel is at the northern end of town so a bit of a walk from the main shops and supermarket, Te Kuiti is on the main trunk line, so be aware there are a few trains passing through from time to time, it would be a nice place to stay for a few days to explore the area.

The cottage was amazing, clean and comfortable. Loved the green theme and also the Christmas decor. The cottage had everything we needed in addition to providing an experience of living on a farm, including view of cows outside the bedroom window! Paula was a lovely host, and the breakfast and amenities provided were such a thoughtful selection. The location was conveniently located for us to get to Te Kuiti, Waitomo and Otorohanga as a short drive away.
