Mel’s Retreat was a very comfortable Suite to stay. Beautiful area, well furnished suite, and well worth the stay. Mel had more than one could ask for for a continental breakfast.Well worth the stay. Only thing I would comment on is it is a little tight for space.

The room felt damp and smelt musky. The property required maintenance and updating. Fun for little kids. Power point for tv a worry, with cords not safely plugged in

Pretty well-kept town
Obviously the prices are jacked up for the tourist $ and I would bypass it in future
A good place for a stopover - would recommend Panorama too. If one had more time there are activities nearby!
We always love stopping atg Te Kuiti, the people are very friendly and the town is very clean.
Nice little town. Convenient location for Waitomo attractions. Good dining. Try Bosco cafe and Stoked Eatery.
Had a bad breakfast at Boscos - my eggs were cold and they didn't care
