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.

Beautifully appointed spot in a stunning location! The room itself is perfect and spotless and it was great to have the decking outside to chill on. So many lovely little touches, like the homemade breakfast and the bottle of port to have a drink under the stars. Also loved being able to go and feed the friendly sheep and goats on the property. Glenn was very welcoming and gave a us some great recommendations for things to do in the limited time we had in Matamata.
