My wife and I were traveling south but wanted to tour the Waitomo Caves before leaving the region, so we stayed one night at The Loft. Our stay was just what we expected from Karen's description was superb. The only thing Karen couldn't predict was the weather and it was extremely stormy, so stargazing was not an option. :(
But the lodging itself was excellent: very functional, very clean, well appointed and fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom is nicely done and the shower has a hand-held nozzle. There is a washer, but no dryer. Also, the beds are upstairs in a loft area and the bathroom is on the ground floor.
Anyway, our stay in TeKuiti at The Loft was wonderful and we would highly recommend staying here.
