"Te Tiro was a lovely place to get away and enjoy one of the most beautiful areas I have ever been. Our host was welcoming and accommodating and the cabin we stayed in was very comfortable. He showed us areas to walk around the farm and there is a pathway to an area to see glow worms a short walk from the cabin.
The kitchen is well appointed and there is a bbq to use. To maximize your relaxation time I would note that the nearest grocery is ~30 min drive away, so best to come stocked. "
"The owner is wonderful, the room was roomy, clean and inviting. Great service and very thoughtful advice regarding places to eat and places to see on our trip."

This underground labyrinth of spectacular rock formations, with dazzling glowworms and enchanting acoustics, is one of New Zealand’s most popular attractions.
Also highly recommend the Spellbound Cave Tour. 2 and half hour tour of 2 caves , one with 10 minute boat ride under tens of thousands of glowworms. Tour takes you in the boat ride twice if you'd like.

Good
We were glad we visited the caves, but sad the attraction was so commercialised. We considered it expensive, given that this is a natural phenom enon.

The Waitomo cave tour is a must, there are a number of places to eat locally but you really need to drive
"Excellent location for visiting the caves. Cabins are well maintained as are the other facilities. Walkable to general store and up to the cave visitor centre.
The gentleman on reception was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. "
"Is was a very unique experience. I felt like beeing at home. Birds can be heard from the orchard in the Morning
Trevor is very friendly, clear instructions and easy to get in."
"I appreciate that there are old photos in the advertisement for the motel and that it is in need of tlc. I found the owners to be friendly and helpful. IReception is clean and tidy, my unit with a little more cleaning would be great the bed was comfortable and apart from the noise of the traffic my stay was okay but it was ruined by a rowdy, rude male next door to ruin it."
"Nice place just around the corner from the Waitomo caves experience with the 100 meter absail...There were a fair number of steps up to our room but the room was nice and the water pressure was good. We kept warm on a July night and slept well. The breakfast was a fine continental breakfast and checkout was quick. We only stayed one night because of our schedule but could have easily enjoyed a couple more!"
"I lived my time here. My ensuite villa was clean, comfortable, and convenient. I really liked my time here. The little farm on the side of the property is adorable. "
"If you are going to visit the glow worms in the caves, this is the best place to stay as you can get to see your own personal glow worms at the sink hole a couple of minutes walk from your bed! A fantastic addition to the overall experience! There are also other things to see on the farm. Angus is a smashing host who loves to share!"
