Cosy Country Stay B&B

Quaint little B&B with everything you need provided. Hosts Twan & Gerda were wonderful, providing all the essentials needed to cook breakfast down to fresh home made bread. Excellent location if planning to visit Hobbiton Movie set. We wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Would highly recommend.

Very comfortable. Great location for Hobbiton

Would have been better to have more than 2 of everything. Had to wash dinner meal dishes before we could have breakfast

Very well presented. Everything catered for and more(including home made bread) A very spacious cottage. Gerda was a wonderful owner and very helpful .Close to Hobbiton.

Nothing.

Dieses B&B ist einfach hervorragend. Gerda und Twan sind tolle Gastgeber. Total zuvorkommend und liebevoll, jedoch nicht aufdringlich. Jeden 2. Tag brachte uns Gerda frisch gebackenes Brot und als wir ankamen war bereits alles fürs Frühstück im Kühlschrank bereitgestellt. Ein toll eingerichtetes Cottage mit allem was man braucht direkt auf der Farm der Besitzer. Die Lage ist außerhalb von Matamata, aber das wussten wir und wollten wir auch so.

The Cozy Country Stay was fantastic. Super clean and comfortable, quiet and serene. The perfect place to stay after a visit to Hobbiton. The hosts are lovely and have thought of absolutely everything you might need. We loved it!

Nothing.

Gezellige inrichting, schoon, de koelkast puilde uit en aan alles is gedacht. Twan en Gerda zijn ontzettend gastvrije mensen die het met hun hart doen. Prima gelegen bij Hobbiton. Voor 2e keer geweest omdat het één van de beste plekken was tijdens onze vorige Nieuw Zeeland reis.

A lovely little place, with everything one would need. A comfy bed, varied breakfast, and lovely hosts.

Nothing!

The cottage was perfect for a visit to Hobbiton; an 8 minute drive and about 10 in to town. Our accommodation had everything we could need and was a real country experience with Shetland ponies grazing quietly nearby. We highly recommend a stay here.

Proximité d'hobbiton Calme Proche de la nature

Nous aurions aimé rencontrer les propriétaires. Nous sommes venus dans ce studio en toute autonomie

Very clean, comfortable with lots of little extras.

Fantastic stay at Cosy Country B&B. Very large room with all necessary amenities. Peace and quiet, ideal after a long day of driving. Warm welcome from the hosts Gerda & Twan. Will gladly stay again if my travels ever bring me back this way.

Comfy, friendly and spacious! Everything was thought of. This is the perfect place to stay if you're going to the nearby Hobbiton movie set attraction.

Charming B&B with everything you need. It’s very private and the owners are wonderful. Minutes from Hobbiton, you’ll be glad you stayed here!

It was such a lovely little place and definitely cosy as advertised! The owners stocked the room with breakfast foods which was great. All parts of the B&B were clean and well maintained.

Finding the entrance is a bit peculiar but that is the nature of property. It is not a big deal and is manageable.

The little things, like fresh made bread and jam, handheld nightlights (for when using the loo in the night and not waking your partner!) cute ornaments and signs so it felt homey, not clinical! Also the extra help to ensure my husbands birthday ended with the biggest smile!

I think the only thing that could have possibly have made it better, would have been for us to meet the lovely couple who made this such a wonderful place to be!

Tolle Lage - besonders für einen Besuch vom Hobbiton Movie Set (8 km entfernt) - es ist alles da was man braucht und die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und großzügig. Die zur Verfügung gestellten Lebensmittel waren mehr als ausreichend und haben auch das Frühstück abgedeckt. Sehr zu empfehlen auch für längere Aufenthalte.

Die Internet-Verbindung hat ab und zu ein wenig kurze Aussetzer gehabt - ging aber insgesamt gut.

Very cosy place. Food provided is great.

We loved the location, the place and the lovely breakfast:)

The location was so beautiful and peaceful! The bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place felt very homely. We also loved the fresh bread and eggs to enjoy for breakfast!

Very cozy cottage outside the busy areas Very private and perfect for a getaway as you explore the local area

The location, the breakfast goodies, the spotless apartment, and the goats made the stay a great experience. Ingenious use of space on a working farm. If going to Matamata/Hobbiton, a great place to stay.

Location. Quality bedding and soft furnishings .

Felt very dark and enclosed felt like being g in shipping container.

Location, great facilities, communication. Lovely snacks left out, gorgeous shower.

This was our third time visiting New Zealand, and staying at Twan & Gerda’s BnB was truly the highlight of our trip! The house is located on a beautiful, quiet farm — very refreshing and relaxing. The room was spotless, smelled lovely, and the decor was cozy and tasteful. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches: a fridge full of fruits, food, and even a cold beer! Twan and Gerda were incredibly kind and welcoming. We felt right at home and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and genuine hospitality.

Wifi was unstable

Very generous breakfast, we couldn't eat everything! Beautifully presented & extremely clean. Great communication by our hosts, would definitely stay here again.

Nothing!

Amazing hospitality

A rural idyll amidst the corn. Lovely accommodation , everything you need and more. Very well presented and full of practical touches that show how much Garda and Twan care. I particularly liked the bottle of local beer. The breakfast fare was delicious including the homemade bread,

We had to leave

Nice cosy place, has everything you need, close to Hobbiton which was ideal.

Superb location for Hobbiton . Lovely space Lovely breakfast produce provided very quiet location

The accommodations themselves were lovely - tastefully decorated and comfortable.

The property was not at all marked from the road! I drove back and forth multiple times before I noticed small numbers on the mailbox that matched the address. (To add to my confusion, there was another B&B a few doors up - not the right B&B.) When I entered the property, I saw a small sign, which was how I knew to drive around a building, (over a lawn, which didn't feel like it could be right). A sign at the entrance would have also been nice, since I wasn't sure I was in the right place. As I was figuring things out, I tried calling the number I had (no answer), and even ringing the doorbell of the house on the property (again, no answer). The rooms themselves were lovely, but the whole experience was really frustrating.

Tuan was lovely. Great breakfast stuff! Love tye goats.!

Nothing!

I liked how close it was to Matamata and the Hobbiton tour. The breakfast provided was delightful and the hosts were very kind and responsive to us contacting them.

Quiet countryside location Quality of furnishings Thoughtfulness of hosts was evident Location to Hobbiton was fantastic

We loved our stay here!! It was so clean & spacious! The bed was very comfortable. It was so convenient to have the shower & toilet in separate rooms so that both could be used at the same time. We so appreciated the food items available for breakfast (even if we didn’t have time to utilize all of them.)

Well supplied B & B with homemade breads. Furnishings were well appointed. Very close to Hobbiton.

Nothing stands out

Very quaint and comfortable B&B located on a farm. Had everything we needed including washing facilities and the owners provided breakfast items including eggs and wonderful homemade bread. For our requirements the location was perfect.

Beautiful self-contained cottage with everything you would want for a comfortable stay. Tastefully decorated, creating a lovely cosy feel. So wish we could have spent more time there to truly enjoy the gorgeous cottage. Thank you Twan and Greta for sharing your beautiful accommodation.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Location made it easily accessible to Hobbiton and other sight seeing. The accommodation is roomy and well maintained.

An amazing place to stay out in the country and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The homemade bread for breakfast was divine!!! Thank you so much!!!

Wished we could have stayed longer!

The thoughtful details throughout the property really made our stay memorable, and the owner went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed.

Cannot say anything negative about our stay.

It was beautiful we loved it. Close to everything but yet far enough away. Very private and pretty

Our stay at the B&B was very enjoyable. We were very pleased with the welcome by the host and the conditions in the house.

Great location. Very quiet. Great hospitality. Far exceeded expectations and will definitely stay again.

The place is just wonderful,everything is so nice and clean! Very friendly owners and the home baked bread is delicious! It is close to Hobbiton and some nice places in the area. I added another day to my stay because i like it so much here! Danke Ihr 2!

We liked everything really, the owners have a great eye for design and comfort. The homemade breakfast was very good.

Very clean and comfortable a peaceful haven exactly what we needed.

Loved everything

We loved staying here, our hosts were amazing and very kind. The place is lovely, clean and has everything that you need. The plus, the night sky :)

All round amazing, the room was more like an apartment very clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and a good location to get to Hobbiton. Thank you again for the breakfast and the bread is amazing, also for our Wedding card. Would highly recommend and will stay there again.

Everything. It was awesome. Loved it

A cozy and relaxing stay. Around 10 mins drive to Hobbiton. The owners were friendly and responsive and we enjoyed our stay!

Great decor, comfy bed, delicious breakfast, fantastic gardens with views

Nothing

Gerda and Twan are lovely and their place is amazing. Every single detail is perfect. Bed is super comfortable, the homemade bread for breakfast is yummy and enjoyed it in a very special company (two goats can’t remember their names 😅 ) A top place to stay!

Kitchen was superbly equipped

The rooms are very spacious and well decorated. Every need has been considered and they have provided the perfect space. It's so lovely and serene!

Can't think of a thing

Everything was great. Location just 10 minutes from Hobbiton, surroundings, nice and quiet. And the place itself? Gorgeous! Really spacious, equipped with anything you can think of, Gerda provided us with variety of food options like eggs, homemade bread and jam, yogurts and drinks in the fridge. But most importantly the vibe of the place was great. We felt like home and wished to stay there for longer. Highly recommended. And as for the navigation someone complained about- no issue at all. GPS and also Gerda’s description you receive in advance is accurate!

That we couldn’t stay longer 🥺

Cosy Country Stay was well laid out and had everything we needed for our stay. We were close to the area we wanted to visit and were very pleased with how breakfast was self contained (everything was provided in the room to make it yourself). The space was comfortable and large - easy to spread out. Also, the laundry there in the room was easy to use.

It is not marked from road so you have to make sure you are reading your communications from your hosts. But this is really just a small thing given all the other great things about the place.

It was a gorgeous country retreat near Hobbiton, which was great for an overnight stay. It had everything you needed for a comfortable visit. The goats were just outside the front of the cottage and were very sweet, hiding in their hutch out of the weather. The cottage is near Matamata, so it was an easy drive to have dinner in town.

Nothing, although it would be nice to have a king bed.

Very tidy..:-)

A bit noisy at night on the roof.

We loved the scenery and serenity while having a self contained place to stay. The hosts are both lovely people and we’re more than happy to help with any requests we may have had. We enjoyed having a beer at the bar outside and all the amenities the place has to offer.

The only thing is that we wish we stayed another night! Couldn’t fault anything else 5/5 stars 😀

Everything, warm comfortable and private

There wasn't anything to improve on

Quiet location very convenient for evening event at Hobbiton. Cosy converted barn, everything needed had we wanted to prepare our own meals

Plenty of room. Clean and well furnished. Close to Hobiton

The B&B was so cozy it was so nice and peaceful after a long trip in NZ that was what I needed. The little things like having some homemade jam and bread was delicious. Thank you so much for everything xx

We loved everything about our stay - we only wish we could have stayed longer (and next time we will) A wonderful place to stay when visiting Hobbiton -so close. Everything you could need or wish for is provided. Thank you 😊

It was nice to arrive to a lit and warm apartment, clear instructions, no issue finding property, very comfortable.

Unfortunately we had luke warm early showers but the water was hot by time we had breakfast, perhaps it is on a timer.

The homely touches. The extra effort to make guests feel comfortable - breakfast in the fridge, information book, labels everywhere. Peaceful, non invasive stay.

So cute and comfortable!!! Delicious home made bread and fresh eggs for breakfast. It was so relaxing being out on a farm next to goats. And we had a delicious Italian dinner in Matamata. Super close to Hobbiton!! Thanks for a great night!

I was a bit worried about staying in the "barn extension", but was immediately set at ease when we arrived. The venue is an absolute gem- spacious with a separate kitchen, living area and washing rooms. The decor is tasteful and classy, with special treats in the fridge and fresh fruit in the kitchen. The bedroom is cosy with a super-comfortable bed fitted with electric blankets, which may be handy, but we did not need it as the heatpump / Aircon kept the place at a comfortable warm temperature. The kitchen and washroom are fully stocked with all equipment needed. The directions to find the place seemed complicated, but it was super easy - I used "Waze" as my preferred driving app, leading me to the farm gate, and the venue is less than 200m inside the gate. The whole area and surrounds are spectacular with awesome views of the picturesque farms along the route to get there. (Matamata is a beautiful small town with ample dining and shopping options just a short 20 min drive away). I would definitely stay here again and absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for accommodation close to Hobbiton, Matamata or just passing through.

Nothing negative to say. Just a warning that the goats may make funny noises and "knocks" at night, but it IS a farm after all, so nothing weird there. A kind suggestion is maybe just to have 2 beers and/or 2 cooldrinks available - I know it is an extra treat already, but will be even better if the couple staying can each have their own.

Cosy country stay was exactly that . Cosy, beautifully decorated, clean & very tranquill Food in the fridge, including homemade bread & New Zealand jam. Just what a weary traveller needed. So good we booked to visit again on a return trip

Absolutely nothing
