We cannot say enough about this property. We were absolutely floored by the views, the hospitality, and the comfort. Angus is the best host I've ever interacted with. He was so welcoming, had great recommendations, and we loved talking to him. We also adored the onsite kitty!

Amazing views, the host was incredibly welcoming and happy to have a chat. The farm was beautiful and the walk to the pond was pure magic. Our kids loved the loft beds and the little lambs running around. Small touches everywhere with extra blankets and hot water bottles. Only wish we stayed longer to enjoy it a little more.

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in Waitomo that will not disappoint, this is the place. The hosts are next level hospital, particularly “Ratbag” and you’ll be hard pressed to beat the views. Tranquil, peaceful, cosy, relaxing and truly restorative. No, you won’t get wifi or room service but what you will get is your own private glowworm grotto, breathtaking views and leave feeling warm, loved and wishing you could stay longer. Truly unforgettable accommodation.

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!

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 host/owner could not have been nicer! He was so friendly and hospitable. The property was to die for gorgeous! Take a short walk down to the Glowworm Grotto or wander along the sheep farm/property. This place was idyllic! We wish we could have stayed longer.

Really nice view. We stayed in the glamping tent. Was really nice. Our daughter also loved it. Double bed is a bit on the small side but for the rest all great. Owner very nice and good communication. Would come back for sure

Up on top of a mountain surrounded by a farm. Incredible views. Angus gave us a warm welcome. 10 minutes from the glow worm caves. We stayed in cabin 1. Rustic. A short walk to a private glow worm grotto.

Wonderful surroundings. Warm and cosy in the bell tent even though rainy and windy outside. Lovely private glowworm grotto as well. Friendly host. Driveway is very steep and narrow at the start but sealed so not a problem. Highly recommended

A beautiful location and warm welcome from the host. The upstair beds were very small for an adult and probably more suitable for children. I'd also have appreciated a more eco friendly cabin - it would be helpful if there would be recycling bins and Eco friendly household products.

We were a bit concerned about sleeping in a tent in early New-Zealand Spring. Not to worry! We had not had such a comfortable night in weeks and slept close to 12 hours with the gentle sound of rain drops on the tent, in a cosy and warm bed. Breakfast in our cute kitchen was superb, thanks to the attention of our hosts. This was an amazing stay! Thank you!

Amazing views with a friendly host

Excellent views with an extremely friendly and informative host. The room is tiny yet doesn't feel crowded and the bathrooms were nice and close and very clean. We stayed in the cabin but since the glamping was empty he let us go check it out and it looked stellar (if we came back we'd seriously consider staying there depending on the time of year). There is a short walk down into a sinkhole to see some glow worms at night and during the day you can sit on the porch and look out over the valley and the fields. We could have spent a few days here just enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the view. The road up is winding and steep in places, but they have good signage so you won't get lost. We would definitely stay again.
