Independent in Te Puninga from NZ$80

"Gem of a place"

"We had a lovely winter getaway for a couple of days, and especially enjoyed the enormous hot tub. The walks nearby are great, but please note that cafe listed as being 2 mins away no longer exists, so you do need to drive to get food or walk the 6km or so one way to the Waikino Tavern. The house is old, but well kept and clean except for a funky smell in the rear room. Overall we had a great time and would recommend to anyone :)"

"Great place to stay, very clean, friendly, helpful staff."

"Such lovely person, really nice and warm home with comfortable beds. Very welcoming "

"Newly decorated rooms. Plenty of room and good value for money"

"The Shed was roomy and comfortable with great entertainment (pool table, games, tv, books, feeding the animals), good breakfast provided, a lovely park next door and so close to town (lots of dining options) and also handy to Hobbiton, golf, hot pools. Maria was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and was so helpful with our dogs - we really enjoyed our stay."

"This is my second booking, clean, quiet. Very friendly supportive staff, we will come back.🤗"

"Friendly staff. Property is very clean"

"I enjoyed Te Aroha, the motels central location and the general quiet ambience of both the town and motel. Easy walking to the pools."
