    Very spacious, clean, and comfortable, plenty of amenities (good water pressure in the shower was heaven after some other places we've stayed on our trip!). Quiet, peaceful area, a brisk walk from downtown. Excellent host who went out of her way...

    Host was super nice. She had made homemade bread, cupcakes for the kids for christmas. The location in the farm was awesome. Feeding the sheep by the kids were a bonus. Loved it.

Close to everything Matamata has to offer, walk in and feel right at home. 10 minute drive to Hobbiton. Large, modern space which can accommodate one person up to seven people. Country views, just on the edge of town. Continental breakfast daily. Large free parking area right outside your door. Child and pet friendly. A private, peaceful place, but so close to town, separate and away from main dwelling, you'll have 135sqm of space plus two lawn areas, one fully fenced with patio, furniture. One queen bed, and five more singles available. Well set out to accommodate one person, couples, groups, and families. Because the space is large and well set up, it can easily cater for professionals or groups working away. There is a separate bathroom, large kitchenette area, two comfortable seating areas, bar fridge and large fridge, especially useful for groups, and also a freezer. There is an office desk, and printing is available on request. Two heat pumps keep the whole area lovely and warm in winter, or nice and cool in summer. A lovely park is right next door and the space looks out on it. WiFi, 65 inch smart TV with Netflix, etc. There is a pool table for your entertainment. Around 10 minutes drive to Hobbiton, and Wairere Falls. Cycle the Matamata - Paeroa cycle trail, visit the Opal Hot Springs, or Firth Tower and Museum. Under an hour to Tauranga or Mt Maunganui, Hamilton or Rotorua, around two hours to Auckland CBD.
