The Top 10 park in Waitomo is a gem. Centrally located for exploring and within walking distance of three great eateries. You could not ask for a better place to set camp.

The property is perfectly located 10 min by car from the Waitomo Glowworm. The communication with the host is extremely smooth. We were also very positively surprised by the food in the fridge, which saved us a trip to a supermarket and a trip to a cafe in the morning for breakfast. Really appreciate it as we are traveling with a young child and this helped a lot!

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. 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 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!

A lovely little country town where you will meet real Kiwis.
A lovely little country town where you will meet real Kiwis. The Maori influence is noticeable and really lovely. I also love Te Kuiti ("The Valley") for it's scenic situation. A perfect place if you just want to rest for a few days.

Stoked restaurant was excellent the food was magic, fish tasted like lobster, sweet and so fresh! was partnered by a creative salad including avocado and zucchini and amazing combo of other flavors, rhubarb tart was easily the best i have ever tasted. A note that travellers should be aware of is that you can't take you're unfinished bottle home with you, a licensing rule in NZ
The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. It appears to have been recently redone. The bathroom was quite small - narrow actually. Partial kitchen facilities but limited. The hotel will make breakfast for you if you notify them in time the previous day. I believe there is a charge but we did not use this option so I can't comment on how good the food was. the view from the room was very beautiful. I see why the name is Panorama.
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.
A beautiful location, very peaceful yet close to Te Kuiti and not far from Waitomo caves. We loved looking out over the views of farmland and animals. The accommodation is warm and cosy and the hosts were very friendly and helpful with recommending great places to eat and activities to do. Betty the very friendly sheep was a highlight for the kids (and me).
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!
Easy check in process, we got in pretty late and called the hotel in advance.
Room was bigger than we expected, comfy beds. good value for money.
Not much to do in the immediate area, but they had Netflix (already logged into, so you don't have to sign in). Te Kuiti is only a 3 minute drive away for take aways.
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.
It was clean, easily accessible, and spacious with parking right out the front of our unit. The manager was very helpful and very nice to deal with. We loved the amount of space and the bathroom/wet room was huge compared to most motel/hotel rooms.
The location was excellent rooms were spotless and the bed was beyond comfy. Highly recommend this place for anybody staying in Te kuiti. Staff always smiling and would definitely stay again.
the gardens were amazing. the walk to the waterfall one of our favorite memories on our 6 week trip.
half hour from the glow worm caves, so fit perfectly into our travels.
The place felt roomy, clean, and nice. Comfortable bed. Convenient parking. Good service from the reception office. Close to Waitomo Caves (about 15 minutes).
Nice and comfortable hotel with kitchen facilities and a good location (at least if you move around by car). During winter it was a warm and nice room.
