Te Tiro Accommodation

The owners' excellent hospitality and attention to detail made the solo trip enjoyable. Guests appreciated the well-equipped cabins and comfortable, clean rooms. The varied breakfast options were also appreciated.

Angus was a welcoming host and let us leave our luggage despite our cabin not being ready yet (we were early). He offered us a coffee and gave us some good tips about where to go and what to do. The cabin is lovely but only note that the bathroom (toilet and shower) are in a separate cabin requiring you to go outside first. On a cold/wet night like ours, that isn't a pleasant experience. Suggestions: Nespresso coffee machine, better shower amenities (separate shower gel and shampoo), curtains over kitchen window and a less noisy mini bar.

Angus greeted us on arrival and showed us around the property to make sure we found everything. He was full of advice on the many activities in the area, we would have needed to stay longer to check everything out. He even showed us his fossil collection. I was sad to leave, he took such good care of us, and made us feel like family. Our family group rented all three accommodations for two nights. Angus supplied a crib cot in one of the cabins for our youngest. The glamping tent was perfect for the toddler, low beds, and rugs over the floor. The cabins were well equipped for preparing a light breakfast, which was supplied. Juice, yogurt, cold cereal, and toast with butter, marmalade and jelly. Freshly ground coffee in a press and hot chocolate powder. They even supplied marshmallows to toast over the outside firepit. The bathrooms for the cabins are located outside the cabins, but don't worry, you walk on the deck to get to them, and the way is covered. For the tent you do need to walk in the weather, but it includes a tub on the deck, great for soaking in the view. The kitchenette for the glamping tent is outside the tent with a bar area to watch the sunrise as you sip your coffee. Check out their Instagram for pictures of the views! The units are situated on top of a ridge so you get sunset and sunrise. We even had a view from the bathroom. The private glowworm grotto was a treat. And there were sheep and cattle in the fields.
