Enjoyed our stay in quirky Hutu Chalet. Located in middle of Waitimo it gives good access to nearby sites. Adjacent to cafe that closes around 9.30pm so wasn't noisy when we stayed mid week. Very clean with comfy bed upstairs. You will need to leave large bags downstairs unless you want to lug them up relatively narrow stairs. Kitchen well equipped with microwave and fridge. Good communication from owner to facilitate check-in. Would stay again.
