Small unit, but still plenty of room to spread out. Nice touches, with good selection of cereals, fruit, spreads etc. Lovely comfy bed . Good shower. Very handy to walk into town. Parking fine. Perfect for a stop over.
Nothing. All good
Warm and cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Die Lage war wunderschön und alle Absprachen ganz unkompliziert.
Really lovely private stay very close to town. The facilities were stellar and the bed was super comfortable!

Lovely bright and clean
Nothing.
Warm and comfortable, good size unit had everything you need for 1 night or a week , very clean, loved the amount of breakfast choice provided and extra little snacks.
Maybe not having a sink to be able to wash dishes in, otherwise everything was perfect.
Nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Comfortable bed and garden seatting on the sunny side. Very good breakfast appreciated! We enjoyed our stay very much :)
Small and cosy place to stay one night near Ōtorohanga town itself. Would have stayed longer if my travel itinerary allows. Although small, but it basically has all that you need. Breakfast of 4 slices of bread, fruits, orange juice, milk, coffee and tea were all in the room when Louise came out to welcome us when we arrived at 7pm and it was quite pitch dark. The drive to the back where the cabin is gravel with a bit of a slope but not too big concern. Motion sensor lights lit up when needed. Aircon with heat option available which is also a plus point. By the side near the bathroom has a guest book and a piece of information/instructions (suggest to paste this on the wall :) ). The whole layout is neat and tidy, not cluttered.
Couldn’t think of any (much better than my experience in Napier).
Location
The property was fine
Everything, excellent accommodation and presentation , comfortable bed, very good shower, breakfast attention
No complaint
This little house has everything you need. The check-in was smooth even if we arrived a bit later in the evening. The place is clean, big enough, very cute decorated, the bed was comfy and we had a wonderful breakfast for the morning. A lot of small details made our stay amazing here. I would definitely come back.
Das Frühstück war vielfältig und reichhaltig. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig.
宿に到着したらオーナーの方が出迎えてくれ、親切に対応していただきました。 お部屋は清掃が行き届いており、清潔感あふれる素敵なお部屋でした。 朝食はパン・フルーツ・グラノーラ・牛乳・ジュースが用意されていて、とても満足でした。 夜は満点の星空が見られるのでぜひ外に出てみてください。 1泊しか過ごせないのがとても惜しかったのですが、この宿のためにまたオトロハンガを訪れたいと思うほど最高な時間を過ごせました!

Une petite oasis de paix. Belle chambre, très propre et bien équipée. Bon petit-déjeuner. Plein de petites attentions. On s'est sentis comme à la maison.
Tout était parfait
Pros: Room is spotless, bed is comfortable, location is excellent-short walk to downtown and kiwi house. Neighborhood quiet.Linens/towels good.Fresh fruit,milk,orange juice a plus.Has toaster, microwave, kettle, French press and a very small refrigerator with way less usable space than you might think from photo.You get 10% discount at kiwiana store if you mention Louise. Room price is very good and you get what you pay for.
Cons: it is odd to drive across their yard to get to the room--which caused us some confusion upon arrival even with the sign at the drive.Room is tiny and was sweltering when we arrived-ac remote is old.Room is the back half of the garage but appears wellmade.No place to put luggage except on floor, dining table, or large chair(where you are instructed to put the unneeded bed pillows and blanket).Only a few pegs on wall for hanging jackets or clothes. No clothes hangers. I do not care for eating from containers of cereal/meusli/bread that others have used. As others have said washing dishes in the small bathroom sink is not a way to get items cleaned sufficiently. I think there could be storage efficiency improvements and a folding luggage rack would be nice. For laundry, it is their suggestion to hang clothing on the line in the garage around the back of the room. Personally,I would not stay here again. However, it is a very clean, budget-friendly, well located option in a great little town--just not for me.
Great location! Lovely, private standalone unit, equipped with all you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
It had everything we needed for a night stop. The breakfast was great. Close to town.
Nothing to fault
Friendly host who welcomed us as we arrived at her property. Room is spacious, very cleaned and comfortable. Good variety of breakfast and fruits. Short walking distance to restaurants. Highly recommended.

We were met by Louise when we arrived, she was very friendly. The space was clean and neat, cozy without being overly filled with stuff. There was a table, chairs, cutlery and all things needed to eat or make a picknick for the next day. The breakfast assortment was very generous, especially with different choices of fruit. We were very happy with it. Location was good as well, close to the Waitomo caves and no noise from the street.
We had no complaints.
Louise est hospitalière, agréable, attentive aux souhaits des clients, de bons conseil par rapport aux visites de la région. La chambre est jolie, bien équipée, avec une belle terrasse ensoleillée.
Tout était parfait.
Fantastic location, super clean and comfortable. Had everything we need. Was nice to wake up to the sounds of birds. Highly recommended

Das Frühstück war super und mehr als reichlich, das Zimmer sehr Geschmackvoll eingerichtet
Das Zimmer heizt sich bei Sonne sehr schnell auf
Studio style maison de poupée très fonctionnel et confortable, un petit coin dehors avec table et chaise, nous avons pu profiter du soleil. Louise a été adorable, elle nous proposer de mettre nos pains de glace pour notre glacière directement chez elle car ils ne rentraient pas dans le petit frigo de la chambre 🙏
Il manque juste un petit evier dehors pour laver la vaisselle, dans le lavabo ce n’est pas très pratique
Sympatyczne miejsce na nocleg podczas podróży dookoła Wyspy Północnej. Bardzo miła gospodyni, czysty i wygodny apartament w osobnym domku. Proste i smaczne śniadanie
Very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely welcoming hostess, Louise.
No problems
床很舒適,早餐果醬非常豐富,水果盤很豐盛
O căsuța foarte confortabilă! Totul a fost extrem de curat și bine organizat. Cu multă atenție la detalii,aveai absolut tot ce era necesar pentru un sejur minunat. Ne-a plăcut foarte mult și ne-am simțit foarte bine!
Simple but had everything
Υπέροχος χώρος με όλες τις ανέσεις, καλό πρωινό και εξωτερικό χώρο ανάπαυσης

Deliziosa casetta, arredata con cura e fornita di tutto quello che può servire per un' ottima colazione. Tranquilla e riservata, una piacevole esperienza.
Absolutely cozy place, yummy breakfast, super quiet, very clean, good wifi, simply absolutely no complaints and would absolutely stay again
Nothing. Everything was great
Quiet peaceful location. Clean and comfy ! Appreciated the help with transport to and from the caves . Great host !
It was clean and oimfortable. The breakfast was excellent - museli, yogurt, fresh fruit, orange juice and plunger coffee. Great shower. All my needs were met. Louise you are doing an awesome job. Raz did an excellent fit out of the accommodation.
No complaints.
Wir waren nur für eine Nacht dort, schönes Zimmer mit Bad. Frühstück wurde uns bereit gestellt. Nette Gastgeber.
Close to Kiwi house Everything we needed Great stay
The photos don't do the place justice. It is large inside with lots of little things to make an easy stay. Best pillows, comfy bed and squeaky clean. The included breakfast was generous, so great value for money
All ok
Brekkie was ok, fresh fruit, muesli (too sweet for me) toast and coffee. Location was quiet with other peoples houses just over the fence
Nothing really, just a bit strange accommodation was in someone's backyard
המקום מאוד נקי. אין כמעט קשר עם בעלי הבית מעבר להכרות בהתחלה, ואז היא הראתה לנו היכן הצימר ואיפה לחנות, ופרידה בסוף. הכל נמצא בחדר. מאוד מסודר
אין שום קשר אישי.
Sehr gepflegte Unterkunft, alles vorhanden was es braucht. Preis - Leistung absolut top👍 Würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.
Nichts, den hier ist alles perfekt!
So cozy and quiet with plenty of space , the outside area was nice and private for a cuppa and read . Close to town to walk there . The breakfast options were perfect and the fruit was an added extra . Big tick for me was a plunger coffee
Nothing
Alles, einfach super, man sieht das alles mit Liebe zum Detail im Zimmer gemacht und praktisch ist. Das Frühstück war mehr als super. Schade, dieses Appartement hätten wir länger buchen sollen.

Great comfortable stay with everything we needed
Absolutely a blast with the living experience. Once walking into the room, we found everything we need, and something unexpected. Louise is definitely one of the best hosts! She greeted us on arrival, and was super kind to give us a lift to the train station. Cannot recommend more!
The cleanliness and comfort combined with the modern decor. Breakfast supplies were plentiful and wide ranging.
Nice comfortable unit with all the basic amenities and more. Warm and dry and pleasant to the eye. The hosts were pleasant and easy to talk to.
There was nothing to not like
Easy to locate, private and peaceful everything we needed and much more than expected
Located slightly outside the center in a quiet neighborhood. A free-standing cottage on the property with a small terrace and parking. Arranged with great attention to details and the comfort of guests. A simple breakfast: cereals, milk, toast, butter, jam and fruit and juice. To Waitomo Caves - 20 min drive.
Very welcoming. Very comfortable and great value for money. Good location, easy walk to town.
Excellent, very generous with provisions for breakfast. The ready acceptance of our later than programmed arrival, due to road closure.
Little bit scary going down the outside steps, to the unit - not helped by the weather!!
Clean Simple, yet well supplied
Perfect accommodation- clean, quiet and a great breakfast.
Location was excellent. Louise was very friendly. The place was very clean and inviting. Breakfast was a great selection. Would definitely recommend to others.

Lovely clean stylish space. Had nice bathroom, microwave, smart TV, heat pump, comfortable big bed. Great breakfast supplied in the room ( muesli, toast, jam, orange juice, milk, treats, etc). Parking right next to the unit. Felt private as it was away from the house. Louise greeted us warmly when we arrived, but gave us privacy. Would certainly be happy to stay again if in the area.
We liked it all.
Very cosy, quiet location. Excellent breakfast. Great hosts.
Loved our short stay here. Louise was very friendly & welcoming.
Clean, very well equipped, lovely breakfast/snack options, warm hosts, peaceful location, great value for money.
The place was truly exceptional, particularly in terms of cleanliness and one of the highlights was the breakfast, which was included with the stay.

Louise was a lovely host. The accommodation has everything you need and more. Would highly recommend !
Raz and Louise go above and beyond most stays we have experienced. For example, supply of fresh fruit . Fantastic for travellers. Also they picked us up from train station on arrival and also drove us the next day to our glowworm tour (a 25min drive) for merely the cost of petrol. We were amazed and so grateful. Absolutely faultless hosts..we would strongly recommend.
Nothing!
Very cozy room with everything you need. Cereal, toast, and fruit for breakfast which were already in the room so made it very easy for the morning.
