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.
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.
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 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!
Motel on the outskirts of rural Te Kuiti a few kilometres from the Glow Worm caves at Waitomo. Good sized and airy room which was clean and tidy. Very convenient parking immediately outside the unit. Helpful staff with good advice regarding local restaurants. Fresh milk provided in fridge with beverage making facilities.
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.
Excellent staff who responded to any request cheerfully. Room and electric blankets already put on for us which was lovely for a cold Autumn night.
Very scenic view of Te Kuiti hills and town from room.
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 😁😁😁😁😁
