Stayed here in February. We were fortunate with the weather and got to see all the beautiful views and local scenery and also the stunning night sky. We cooked a meal in the evening and had everything available to do that. Breakfast was provided and plentiful. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The glowworms on site were a special treat...

My friend and I stayed here recently and had a great experience. The cabins are neat and clean and well furnished. The front deck has an awesome view down the mountain and into the valley. The in room breakfast items were good as well. Rachel was an excellent host. Highly recommended.

Stayed here after doing the Waitomo Caves - little did we know that our guide for the caves was also the owner of the cute cabins. Owners were really friendly and the views and facilities were nice - great waking up to those surroundings.

These cottages were such a find - thank you trip advisor! And thank you to Rachel and family for your hospitality. Even the lambs and cats are friendly! The spot is sensational - expansive views across the very picturesque Waitomo landscape. It's a handy spot for the Marokopa spots (waterfall, natural bridge and cave). The cottages are cosy, clean and... More

This is one of the most unique experiences I have had in my life! The cabin is just simply the most comfy place. Upon arrival, it was cold and blustery outside. It was so wonderful to have a welcoming message on the gate and have our cabin all ready for us -- so warm and inviting. Hosts were friendly and... More

This is a beautiful property with amazing views over the valley. Our children loved the farm and the glow worms in the garden. Owners were lovely and very friendly. Thanks for a great stay. We would definitely book this property again.

This place is so charming and it is perfect. I wish we could have spent more than one night here. Rachel and Angus are fabulous. We had corn on the cob we wanted to cook but there was no pot large enough in the cottage. We requested a larger pot and within minutes, Angus brought us a larger pot that... More

We didn't expect that this place is kinda far from the village itself. It's about ~15mins drive time from town. Rachel and Angus welcomed us and showed us around the cottage, although it was raining, they're such a great host.They let us borrow their umbrella when we went to the village. The view from the top of the hill (where... More

What a cute place to spend time in the Waitomo area. First of all, this region is a must visit if you are coming to New Zealand. It is beautiful both above ground and below. And, if you come to this area, you will not find a better local experience than Te Tiro. The cabins are so cute, and they... More

What an amazing place, in one word "stunning". On arrival as Rachel and Angus were not there, a note was left on the gate welcoming us and letting us know what cabin we were in. The views are to die for, the cabins are beautiful. The continental breakfast supplied was perfect.We took a walk down to Dabchick pond. Sadly we... More
