I was a little leery about booking this accommodation, but I am so glad we did. If you are booking here, just know that you’re booking in a very rural area with not much around. We just needed a place to sleep for the night and this fit the bill exactly. it was a perfectly clean room with the cutest atmosphere. They very much use the trust system as there was no one at the desk, but they just left our keys for us so we never really saw any staff which was fine. They have a small kitchen that you can help yourself to a simple little breakfast. The room was spotless clean and so cute. I was more than satisfied with this lodging and it far exceeded my expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Piopio a nice little town.

    Piopio a nice little town. The motel is just off the main road so not disturbed by traffic noise. Having the restaurant along side the motel is a bonus. A nice drive out to the falls which were in full torrent due to all the rain. Very I.pressive.

    A small town in a lovely rural area.

    A small town in a lovely rural area. A decent restaurant for dinner and a great café for breakfast or lunch. We have often broken journeys from Tāmaki Makaurau to Taranaki or other places further south, here. Great to charge your car while staying at the Fat Owl or by using the OpenLoop fast charger.

    Great place to base yourself for either a quiet or adventurous visit to the area. So much nearby really in a quiet yet bustling town. Three hidden gems - The Cosmopolitan Club, Fat Pigeon Cafe and Piopio Berry Orchard!!

    This is a small town with a big heart.

    This is a small town with a big heart. Our first stop was the Fat Pigeon Cafe for lunch - delicious food with a view of the park. We then walked up and down the two sides of the street, stopping to look at the restored old school bus and poster board, the art gallery, craft shop and op shops before having a hot chocolate from the coffee cart at the other end of the street. For dinner we ate at The Night Owl restaurant- loved the decor, the food portions were HUGE and super tasty,

    Bàrbara is a lovely, friendly and very accommodating host who made us feel like part of her family. The location is perfect for tourists and for travellers wishing to purchase seasonal berries and asparagus. So close to famous Waitomo Caves, it is the perfect stopover spot. We will definitely call in again when next we travel through Piopio. Thanks Bàrbara and Leo. You are amazing!!!
