Good location (self-drive) which is near to most of the tourists spots. The environment is so beautiful and serene. In the morning, we can see cows outside the small bnb 😊. Great breakfast 👍. Our host, Alyson and Tim are great people. Alyson took care of us to the tiniest details, making our stay perfect. She baked us muffins twice during our 6-day stay. Thanks Alyson. We miss the place!

Beautiful location, wonderful and very friendly host, very comfortable room and even homemade brownies to die for. We were doing a hike and those brownies plus a great provided breakfast really got us through. Everything was lovely. Thank you!

We loved it here! Kylie and family were such wonderful and warm hosts. Kylie was very responsive to messages and provided pictures to help check in go smoothly. The space was as pictured and was beautifully decorated/appointed. We were welcomed with a freshly baked loaf of country bread and a refrigerator stocked with every thing we needed for breakfast including some almond milk for my vegan companion. The bed and sofa couch were both very comfortable. At night, being away from town we could see the stars! Kylie had such nice touches like high end shampoo/condition/lotion, a USB plug, nice linens, pretty plates and stoneware, and absolutely every thing you would need in the kitchen. We were going to Hobbiton and were looking for a place nearby to stay so we would not have to drive to Rotorua or Hamilton after. It's 18 minutes away and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Believe me we looked at the other options in the area and this one was far better by strides.

This was an amazing stay! Our family of 5 was visiting Hobbiton and we needed a place where we could all stay together comfortably. This house had everything we needed and lovely unexpected touches like chocolates and coffee! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10. Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great. Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok. Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.

    Matamata is a nice little town with the usual array of shops and some good eating places. Of course its access to Hobbiton, which was the purpose of our trip, but enjoyed a pleasant evening eating fish n chips in the wooded, shaded park area by the Isite.

    If you want a motel, don't stay here If you want to socialise/party, don't stay here If you want to cook food don't stay here If you want views of Kaimai ranges, with farm paddocks outside your windows, with fooderies of all kinds a few kms away in Matamata, stay here.
