Glamping in Oparau

Feels like home - best accomodation that we have ever stayed at in New Zealand

You want top allow a full day (and 2 nights) to explore the adjacent peninsula, as the roads are slow and windy but the forests and ocean views and experiences are fantastic. Thanks Garth for the different recommendations about where best to explore. We avoided the theme parks in Rotorua and enjoyed Orakei thermals. Paeroa has some interesting antique stores and the adjacent gorge and gold mine were very pretty.

Loved it. Great location. Felt pretty upperclass from the moment we walked in. So fresh and so clean! From Rob F.

the room with the attached bathroom was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing and the breakfast was extremely generous.

We found all the facilities very comfortable and liked having our own personal balcony off the main bedroom with the afternoon sun pouring in and a handy little table and chairs. Everything that we might need was supplied.

Great stay agaiy

Can walk to glow worm caves and food places. Nice rural outlook.

This was such a clean and well looked after accommodation. Check in was a breeze, the cleanliness was great and to top it off, I got to pat a fluffy cat. My son was thoroughly impressed with having his own tv.

Friendly & convenient

Best Hotel Check-in and service I have had in years!

Stayed here based on the location and the novelty. Stayed in Hobbit Hole 1. Arrived late and didnt realise that reception is 9 to 5 but the lady had the key left out for us thankfully. The room was so cool! The large bed was in the kitchen/living area with 2x bunk beds in a back room. The beds were huge and so comfortable! I stayed in one bunkbed and my mother in another and we were both impressed with how comfortable they were for single beds. Location was close to the glow worm caves so we got...

Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet and able to get a good rest after a long journey and preparing for the next. Great facilities. Highly recommend

We had the best time at Hamilton hotel....owner were very friendly and upgraded all our rooms...facilities nice and new....bed was super comfy....we will definitely be back....highly recommended

I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Kind and considerate to my circumstances. I will certainly stay there again.

I was a bit nervous that our unit was right next to the road, but it ended up being just fine. Nice room, super friendly staff, lovely spa, big bed. This was a last minute booking and it was better than I expected. My only advice would be to upgrade the TV system. Would be happy to stay again.

The room was nice and clean and tidy. Had everything you need. Would not hesitate to stay again. Just one thing The heat pump needs a clean.

It was so clean. Bed very comfortable. Parking under cover so early morning start meant no frosty windows. Everything we needed for two day stay.

Arrived a bit later than planned but received a warm welcome by owner. The motel was great and suited our needs.

We had a wonderful stay at glow worm motel, will be recommended to my friend can't wait to comeback.
