Staff were friendly and helpful, recommended a great local restaurant on request. The room had comfy beds, good heating and location had a lovely quiet calm feel to it. There was quite a group of us staying and we had a fun time with a few drinks and lots of laughter on returning to our accommodation at nights, this was not a problem and we weren't asked to quieten down or return to our rooms or anything. A bonus is the fabulous Shoppington complex next door, well worth checking out.

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 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.

We stayed overnight en route from Auckland to New Plymouth...
We stayed overnight en route from Auckland to New Plymouth so saw little of Te Kuiti, but we saw beauty in the surrounds. We don't recommend taking the bypass route missing Hamilton on a rainy night!
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and helping us plan our day, as we'd traveled to do the caves experience nearby.
The restaurant meals were excellent, great steak and burgers and they were very accommodating for my vegetarian partner.
The room itself was a little basic and showing its age, but perfectly comfortable and warm with kitchenette, tv, and private bathroom so the important things were there.
The food supplied for breakfast was great - bacon and fresh eggs plus cereal and fruit juice - and the lovely touch of fresh baking! Not that far from Te Kuiti but very close to the Taumarunui highway if you were travelling that way. Very highly recommended!! The gardens were the highlight of the stay - like a small arboretum. Thank you Jill!
The location was perfect to visit the glow worm caves, zipline, and waterfalls in the area. Unfortunately, New Zealand had the worst rains and floods for decades so we missed the glow worms. The area still had enough to do we didn't waste any time. We enjoyed visiting the Hamilton Temple visitors center on the way from Auckland.
Honestly I was a little worried when we drove up to discover that this hotel was a motel but I didn't need to be. The room was clean and comfy and the windows were gorgeous. The hotel staff was also super accommodating with the late hour we arrived and early hour we left.
The accommodation was easy to find, nice and central - easy access to the main street. Beds were very comfy. Was great to have access to a fan as was quite warm.
Great to have access to a kitchen and freezer facilities. Had everything you needed there.
Excellent staff who responded to any request cheerfully. Room and electric blankets already put on for us which was lovely for a cold Autumn night.
Very scenic view of Te Kuiti hills and town from room.
Central to shops and other facilities at Te Kuiti.
Staff very friendly and helpful- they made last minute changes to our rooms in an effort to meet our needs- can’t fault the management of this motel.
Serenity, hospitality and accomodation absolutely 1st class. Phillip and Karen are wonderful hosts allowing us to enjoy the beautiful views overlooking Te kuiti Thank you 😁😁😁😁😁
