It is spotless and well maintained. All facilities are of a very high standard well above the level of most Backpackers lodges I have stayed at. It was so cosy warm, I only slept with a top sheet covering me.

This is a farming commercial area close to the Waitomo Caves and cave worms tour. The town is basically two main roads with a few restaurants, stores, supermarket and other services. There is a train stop. We did not use the train for travel. It is only 15 minutes to Waitomo Caves and a good place to start exploring the cliffs along the Pacific Ocean further south.

The garden at the cottage was amazing to explore.
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...
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!
Everything was excellent, it was warm, cozy and I loved the spa bath.
The view was great, looking out over the grounds and hills in the distance, it helped that it was such a beautiful sunny morning.
Plenty of parking space, handy to town and Te Kuiti facilities.
Because I was travelling from the Far North and after work meant that I would arrive late at night so everything was done over the phone with the owner/manager, so I knew where to find my room and key, and was able to pay online as well.
Staff were friendly and helpful, recommended a great local restaurant on request. The room had comfy beds, good heating and location had a lovely quiet calm feel to it. There was quite a group of us staying and we had a fun time with a few drinks and lots of laughter on returning to our accommodation at nights, this was not a problem and we weren't asked to quieten down or return to our rooms or anything. A bonus is the fabulous Shoppington complex next door, well worth checking out.
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 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 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.
Central to shops and other facilities at Te Kuiti.
Staff very friendly and helpful- they made last minute changes to our rooms in an effort to meet our needs- can’t fault the management of this motel.
Okay for a night, not much else on offer in Te Kuiti accommodation wise.
Fairly basic but had most amenities required.
Neighbouring units could be noisy depending on who is in them.
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.
