We picked Annely's place because it is only 15 minutes from the Glowworm Caves in Waitomo, but we really enjoyed meeting Annely, her family, and Steve the Sheep! The room was comfortable, clean, and private. Te Kuiti is a cute little town with lots of charm. Stay at Annely's place long enough to explore it. She and Damin will give you great suggestions if you ask. They are great hosts and awesome, responsive communicators.
