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.

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
Motel Te Kuiti was a great stop over before reaching our next destination. My partner and I have been on a road trip for 5days and it was such a great choice to stop there. The friendly lady at the reception was helpful as we were able to do our washing and drying for free. She also took our breakfast order which was convenient for us as it came on time too. The food places in the area are also delicious. Bedding was comfortable and clean!! Will definitely be coming back
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.
The room was a studio but very large with a living area, table, comfortable chairs. It was close to town for dinner and the Spellbound Caves the next day. There was a small, private outdoor sitting area but we didn’t use it. There are train track facing the back of the room but they didn’t bother us at all. No train whistles or long trains. Highly recommend.
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 hotel was accommodate my last-minute booking. Parking was free and directly in front of my room. The rooms were massive and could easily accommodate a family of four. The kitchenette and dining table were nice to have, and the jacuzzi tub was very clean.
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.
Initially we found the Hotel hard to find. More signage needed on main road. The couple who were filling in for a short time for the owners were fantastic and very helpful, nothing was a problem.
Would definitely stay there again
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 😁😁😁😁😁
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.
Easy location if you are travelling through Te Kuiti. Accommodation was pleasant and well provided for. Great breakfast options. Hosts were very helpful. Thank you
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.
