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! ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### 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. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Beautiful cabin , view and grounds Beautiful location, grounds and cabin. So close to glow worm caves and have their own little glow worm grotto on the property. Only a 60 second walk from the cabins. Also close to a waterfall and black sand beach. Angus was such a gracious host who made sure we had everything we needed including toast jams and coffee. Beds had heated blankets if needed and hot water bottles. Shower was awesome, hot with good water pressure. The grounds were amazing!!! Angus, his parents Allister & Anne were sooo kind and gracious. They even toured us around their beautiful garden which was in full bloom with giant rhododendrums!!! Gorgeous garden that they should be proud of. They allowed us to hike on their property and directed us to a hike to a small lake on their property. Wish I could post pictures but this website won't upload for some reason. I highly recommend Te Tior and hope to someday return. ##### Sharon Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Dec 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Superb location, views and accommodations.

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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbda2192-42a4-4750-aad5-ad4dc811bf28-1755889539763.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd858996-7471-4564-b8e4-b98bf14c1217-1755889539708.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40d1cca7-8901-4aee-a249-4b146bda2cca-1755889538808.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9a9a3f42-3b23-4b22-b796-f6711f8dfdf7-1755889539190.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Erin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendon May 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The views are amazing and not to far from town the host was helpful and friendly ##### Brendon Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/344a23c6-e88d-426a-b7da-057e485f7151-1752481653043.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d367c1ca-b6a7-41d7-927b-87c7c8d9f173-1752481652613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7358d164-6867-4e32-920b-dc8fffbca04c-1752481653827.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kara Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martijn Jun 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great place! 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 ##### Martijn Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Oct 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication 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 ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Margreet Jan 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication 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. ##### Margreet Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Handro Nov 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Easy no problems at all ##### Handro Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cabot Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Manapouri-Hotels-Cabot-Lodge.h27335613.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Luxmore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Distinction-Luxmore-Hotel.h519248.Hotel-Information) > > [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > > [Kumiko's Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Waipara-Hotels-Kumikos-Guest-House.h98505532.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Homestead Waitangi](https://www.expedia.ca/Haruru-Hotels-Riverside-Homestead-Waitangi.h78742745.Hotel-Information) > > [Ormlie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiohiki-Hotels-Ormlie-Lodge.h9626443.Hotel-Information) > > [Akaroa on the Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Akaroa-Hotels-Akaroa-On-The-Beach-Apartments.h9626017.Hotel-Information) > > [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > > [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reservation B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Gore-Hotels-The-Reservation.h9679423.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > > [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > > [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Central Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Central-Backpackers.h84134490.Hotel-Information) > > [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Motorlodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Parklands-Motorlodge.h918774.Hotel-Information) > > [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > > [Possum Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Manapouri-Hotels-Possum-Lodge.h76981300.Hotel-Information) > > [Solitaire Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Solitaire-Lodge.h3840.Hotel-Information) > > [Turangi Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Turangi-Leisure-Lodge.h61338998.Hotel-Information) > > [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > > [Westwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Westwood-Lodge.h1030417.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > > [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information)
