We were here for1-nite only on our way to Lake Taupo and Rotorua. We were driving at night to reach TeTiro n thought that we couldn't find it.! The drive was worth it. We all love the cabin n bathroom as most of the basic facilities are there. The most unforgettable thing of staying here is that the priceless n... More

The place is hard to find unless you do some research before hand on google maps. We arrived late on a rainy night and managed to find it without much difficulty. The cabin was cosy, very clean and well appointed. The heater was already on to welcome us and breakfast was already delivered with bread/cereal and juice/milk/jams/butter/yoghurt/fruit in the fridge.... More

My husband and I had a great time staying at Te Tiro for one night in June! The tranquility was what drew us there but the views and glowworms had us mesmerized! Rachel was an excellent host and we will gladly be back in the future! Thanks!

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
