Up on top of a mountain surrounded by a farm. Incredible views. Angus gave us a warm welcome. 10 minutes from the glow worm caves.
We stayed in cabin 1. Rustic. A short walk to a private glow worm grotto.

Botched self check-in
Was impressed with the detailed and clear arrival instructions sent via email prior to our arrival, and was looking forward to our 2x night stay in cabin 2 with its sweeping view of the hills below.
On arrival we were surprised and disappointed that a couple of other guests took it upon themselves to occupy the cabin I booked six months prior. Though they begrudgingly were willing to move to their cabin, that would have meant we would have moved in to a cabin they had been occupying for the last couple of hours. Without a desire to use gently used bedding and facilities, we let them keep our cabin and view. Would recommend taking a look at the self check in procedures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

The host/owner could not have been nicer! He was so friendly and hospitable. The property was to die for gorgeous! Take a short walk down to the Glowworm Grotto or wander along the sheep farm/property. This place was idyllic! We wish we could have stayed longer.

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.

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

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

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.

We were a bit concerned about sleeping in a tent in early New-Zealand Spring. 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!

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.
