Beautiful accommodation. Loved the dogs and horses.
The apartment was very clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable.
I did not like that none of the doors lock from the inside. When I asked the host about it, he said, it only locks from the outside. He said, “don’t you trust us?” I was so very uncomfortable throughout the night. My sense of safety and security messed up my psyche for not having any doors locked. Anyone could come in while we were sleeping. It took me awhile to fall asleep.
Nice new and comfortable little guest wing. Location is a bit far from all but we enjoyed our stay a lot.
Loved the farm plus the doggies and cat. Clear night skies. Great accommodation
Está en un lugar muy tranquilo cerca de Hobbiton, aunque no está cerca de ninguna población. La relación calidad precio fue excelente
El alojamiento está puerta con puerta con los anfitriones y se les oye en ocasiones. La habitación no es muy grande
Sehr ruhig gelegen, etwas abseits aber es gab gute Anweisungen um die Unterkunft zu finden. Sehr freundliche Kommunikation. Es wohnen zwei sehr tolle Hunde dort, die uns auch mal auf der Terrasse besuchen kamen. Die Küche hat alles was man braucht. Insgesamt haben wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
A peaceful countryside retreat for those who enjoy relaxing stays, not far from Hobbiton, Matamata and Cambridge. Beautiful grounds and a calm rural atmosphere. Clean, well-equipped one-bedroom accommodation with a proper kitchen perfect for staying more than one night.
Absolutamente todo. En un entorno de ensueño, dispones de un apartamento completo (dormitorio con gran armario y vistas al bosque, cocina completa, zona de estar con TV y un amplio baño) con entrada y parking cubierto independiente para relajarte y disfrutar de la naturaleza neozelandesa. Los anfitriones, súper amables, viven en la casa de al lado y tienen dos perros muy simpáticos :)
Tener que pasar solo una noche.
I like that it was easy to access, was small but not too small, and was comfortable. I especially appreciated the bathroom and shower size. Lastly, I appreciate the fresh coffee and press.
There was nothing (inside the property owners control) that i didn't like. It was a lovely stay.
Tranquility of the place and 2 very friendly dogs
Beautiful location and scenery. Quiet. Nice waking up to the sounds of the country. Excellent directions provided to us for getting to the property. We visited Matamata and Hobbiton from here. Very comfortable bed. Loved having a wardrobe to hang up our clothing. Good ensuite and kitchenette. Carport for the car. Balcony outside for sitting and relaxing.
Spacious, super clean, beautiful place and surrounding!
I was looking for a quiet peaceful environment and it ticked all boxes. If you dont mind the back road travel to get there then I highly recommend. The roads are all good. I will stay again
I wouldnt recommend any changes personally. I probably would have preferred a TV in the bedroom as I enjoyed sitting on the bed with the outdoor view. So I didnt watch TV. But not a bad thing
I Loved The bird life in the backyard. Lovely comfortable bed. Enjoyed our brief stay
It was an absolutely beautiful location, very comfortable & clean everything we needed would definitely stay again.
Nothing
Self contained. No breakfast but a delightful setting to be in.
The location was a long but lovely drive to Hobbiton or town.
Well appointed, well equipped studio type accomodation ideal for a relaxing night away in the country. Warm, cozy, secure and comfortable. Loved the wee 4 legged visitors that checked on us regularly!
Extremely well presented, facilities excellent, location was ‘green’.
Gostei de tudo, a casa é muito confortável e o anfitrião muito gentil e solicito!
far from town but easy with a car, full guest space and easy to use kitchen that was fully stocked
Everything. When we arrived, they were very helpful, pointing us in the right direction. The room was already nice and warm, and the place was clean and tidy. The layout was great, with the bed having a wall between the lounge and kitchen area, with the bathroom just behind the kitchen. Presentation and layout were perfection in itself. Everything that you could possibly need to cook a basic meal was there. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Even though it's connected to the house, it is very private with the deck looking out on a farm race with a grassy area and trees. Perfect place to enjoy the peace and quite or if you're not used to noise that a town brings.
Nothing. The only thing I'd change is the addition of an inside door mat to put your wet shoes on so as the carpet is protected.
Everything. The location is far off the town, but that’s the great part. Quiet and dark location, easy to view stars. Stargazing just right outside the room.
Nothing
The apartment is great and has everything you might need. Really recommended!
Quality apartment in rural area - silence was golden. Very friendly animals. A lovely relaxing place to stay. Would definitely return.
Nothing
Lovely bathroom Very comfortable bed Well appointed kitchen, living area. Lovely countryside setting,
Very remote so need to be prepared regarding food and no cellphone coverage. However it was perfect for what we were looking for.
Peaceful and quiet in a rural location
No cell phone coverage throughout our stay, but we were alerted to the sporadic connection prior to our arrival. The available wifi for emergency contact was available though. Also, we were unable to lock up the unit, and this was unable to be rectified during our 2 night stay.
Everything was modern and new. It was very private. The bed was comfy.
The place was immaculate and had the most comfortable bed we've slept in the entire trip. Plus two gorgeous dogs and adorable cat. The owners even wished us a good bye and hello as we left. Will be definitely coming back next time!
The wing to ourselves the patio dining the peace of the country

Great place to stay
This is a very calm and relaxed place for a holiday, complete with excellent facilities. Thank you, Louise, for your hospitality. The dogs are very friendly!
Nothing
We stayed on a main rd the night before and there was a lot of trains heavy vehicles and people congregating including thin walls a lady talking after 2am this was heven quiet comfortable and able to spread out would highly recommend
Not applicsble
Exactly what we needed for our stay whilst visiting Hobbiton nearby. Lovely dogs who were always welcome inside! Kitchen facilities great and all very clean.
Perfect for our needs
The location was quiet and private away from neighbors. The garden was lovely The animals were very sweet and friendly, along with the hosts . The place was very comfortable and well designed. The pool looked inviting .
The internet was not always functional, whish was inconvenient at times. However, I enjoyed it even when it was not working as it's a way to engage more with the nature's. .
A remote beautiful location and pristine living area.
It was lovely to receive messages before arrival. They helped me to prepare for our stay. The directions to find the home were clear. The greeting by Louise as well as her keeping us well informed about who would be available if we needed anything during our stay.
On the last night of our stay, we could hear the festivities of the end of the week. It wasn't bad, just a bit close being on the other side of the connecting door. It didn't spoil our stay. But an observation for improvement would be a better sound barrier between dwellings.
The country remoteness was a plus for me. There was no traffic noise, train noise, loud music anywhere. No street lights either, so when I turned off the light above my bed, it was as dark as a cave. Which, by the way, was just like my bedroom at home. I used Maps and the directions were spot on. The host's directions were easy to follow, and check-in was hands-off, except for their jack Russell greeted me. Very friendly, but curious, and doesn't mind a good chin scratch, even got in a belly rub.
Took a while to get hot water out of the shower. It got to just under luke warm until I finished my rinse. But, it does have a heated floor. Could use a small kitchen table, but I can't picture how. Still loved the place.
The views were stunning, the shower was perfect, the kitchen facilities couldn’t left you wanting more. Perfect stay i couldn’t recommend enough. We had a quick stay on the way back from hobbiton. You couldn’t have wanted more for a lovely stay. The dog paddy was a sweetheart that we loved. The border collie was as an absolute softie. 10/10 couldn’t reccomend enough!! We love you paddy!
Nothing it was perfect, more dog!!
Comfy with everything you need. Great shower. Friendly owner and dog!
Private, quiet, guest room, everything was exceptionally modern and clean. Fantastic kitchen facilities. Loved the visit from the pets.
I couldn't figure out how to lock the door from the inside.
Peaceful and cozy.
great apartman, you have everything you need!
Amazing quiet and cozy place. Very nice host, apartament is new and modern. We wish we had more time to spend there. Higly recommended.
Very clean and cozy place.
Lovely friendly hosts, beautiful location and excellent unit with everything you need. Will definitely be back
Nothing…. Loved everything
Really nice little unit, modern, clean and comfortable and easy directions to find it.
Not very soundproof, could hear conversation, dog barking and general noise next door in main house. Didn't bother me too much as wasnt there long and it didn't go on for too long.
The guest wing was incredibly clean, tidy and modern for the price. Couldn't recommend it enough.
The Apartment was just perfect. It has everything you could need and a stunning view at the stars is included. The Apartment is part of a house and in the range of a goat Farm. In the night its still very silent.

No breakfast that I could see , tea and coffee making facilities only . Beautifully appointed kitchen however that provides for all you need if you bought your own supplies. Heater was on and bathroom underfloor heating going when I had my shower on arriving , which was unexpectedly decadent cause it was quite chilly that day .
My ignorance of where it actually was .. kind of the middle of no where . Having said that , the drive to Matamata the next day was a very pleasant landscape not seen before and very enjoyable.
Wonderful accommodation. Perfectly set up and comfortable.
A little difficult to find in the dark. Would have been easier if I hadn't been on my own. Great situation for visiting Hobbiton and real value for money.
Nice location and the unit was well presented and very clean. Loved the dogs coming around for pats as well. The hosts were very accomodating and lovely to deal with.
There was no phone reception and woke up one morning to find the wifi was down as well. This meant we were uncontactable for our dogs kennel if there had been an issue. We had been using messenger to communicate with the kennel. Also you can hear what’s happening in the main house when they are in the kitchen or using the dishwasher.
The surroundings were peaceful and serene.
Very cozy and comfortable place with everything you need, including kitchenware and a handy parking spot just out of the door. Beautiful place out in the nature.
Gorgeous location, picturesque and quiet, and the hosts couldn’t have been more kind.
We enjoyed the quiet, we also liked the animals (cat and dogs). Hubby liked waking to them as we have cats and dogs of our own. The whole stay was enjoyable. We do apologise for arriving back late especially with how loud our vehicle is.
Entering straight into the bedroom, only because it had been raining and we did not want to ruin the carpet.
Very new & clean. Helpful staff..Cute dogs very friendly owner.
Lost GPS signal, is a very dark, narrow country road Should go in daytime, very hard to find after dark Owner great phoned her. Came in her car to find us.. Great service.
Lovely peaceful unit out in the country. Had everything we need. Warm and comfortable.
Quite a way out of town (but we knew that). Would have been nice to have a simple breakfast option.
Great location - peaceful and rural. Great welcome from Paddy the fox terrier, super friendly. it is modern well appointed with excellent facilities and well prepared. Cleanliness was the tops.
The internet connection did not work and with no mobile coverage I could not use my phones hotspot.
Our self-arrival was welcomed by the cute cat and dogs. Warm studio with comfortable bed and sofa. Very clean and charming.
A bigger table in the living room would be appreciated to have dinner and maybe a bit more kitchen utensils and first necessity condiments (salt, pepper, oil...) A door in the shower would avoid water on the ground
Silent, nature,
All was perfect
