FatOwl Motel, Bar & Eatery, hotel in Piopio

Situated in Piopio, 43 km from Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, FatOwl Motel, Bar & Eatery features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

We arrived on a wet cold afternoon. The room is a small bedroom with a double and single bed, toilet with shower, electric blankets and electric fan heater on wall. We thought, oh dear this could be cold. But no, the electric blankets were perfect and after an hour the room was toasty and the nanageress put on the corridor heaters. Because the top mattress was wonderful and we did not need the wall heater on overnight we had a perfect sleep. Mind you a beautiful meal next door at restaurant did help.

    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!!!
