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.
Great stay all aspects. Hope I get to stay again sometime soon.

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.
Quirky, friendly, beautiful views, so happy we chose to stay here

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.
Te Tiro was a beautiful property. The room was very cozy and the views are breathtaking. I wish we could have spent more time there!

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.
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

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!
Oh my the view!!! What a spectacular place. The cottages are very functional, warm and did I mentioned the view!!!! The grotto was very cool and my son adorned the animals. Angus I loved our chat and you were extremely welcoming. I wish I could have stayed for longer.
The views are amazing and not to far from town the host was helpful and friendly

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
