Located in Te Kuiti, within 10 km of Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Crinkly Cottage offers accommodation with air conditioning. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. A great cottage with a real farm experience complete with cows in the next paddock. We couldn’t believe the complimentary breakfast, freshly baked cookies and stocked fridge with fresh ingredients! Paula was so hospitable and provided a comfortable space with everything we needed and great black out blinds in the bedroom. Wish we could have stayed more than one night!

Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. I loved how clean and open the space was. Since we were there only one night, we didn’t get to use much of what was offered, like the board games, the grill, or the back yard, but we definitely noticed and appreciated the amount of things there were to do here.

The charming guest house boasts stunning garden views and a cozy patio, providing a serene atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. Despite being a bit remote, the peaceful surroundings made us feel like we were miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our accommodation was nothing short of exceptional. The air-conditioned guest house featured one bedroom, one bathroom, and all the amenities we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. From the plush bed linen and towels to the well-equipped kitchenette, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure our utmost comfort. The terrace with mountain views was the perfect spot to unwind and take in the breathtaking scenery. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast prepared by our gracious hosts. We were delighted to find a variety of options to choose from, including fresh fruits that were a delightful touch. The hospitality extended to us made us feel truly special, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to our day. Overall, our time at Kaimai Sunset Bed & Breakfast was nothing short of magical. From the warm welcome to the impeccable accommodation and delicious breakfast, every aspect of our stay was simply perfect.

Hahei Pavillion Guest House is located in Hahei, within 600 metres of Hahei Beach and 1.3 km of Cathedral Cove. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. We loved everything about our stay in Hahai! Andrea and Mike were wonderful hosts, personally welcoming us to accommodation and guiding us to the best local eats and things to do. The room was large, including the bathroom and provided us everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accomodation backs directly onto a park and tennis court, and provides access to the main strip with the local pub, cafe and convenience store. We also walked to Cathedral Cove from the accomodation via the beach (and pathway that has a sign not to walk though but found it was still walkable, just overgrown plants), it must of taken about an hour to walk each way (the walk is much longer and hilly than I had anticipated, but its a beautiful walk along the coastline so you can take your time and enjoy the view). Its also a 10min drive to Hot Water Beach, and loved that the shovels are provided.
