This place is a slice of heaven! My husband and I visited Hobbiton and this was a great location! It felt like we were apart of the shire, surrounded by rolling hills, sheep, cattle and your own peaceful stream. Our favorite part was the wood fired hot tub at sunset. Talk about serene! The cottage was so cozy and I loved how the hanging bed would rock back and forth at night. If you’re in the area for Hobbiton, I highly recommend this place. About a quick 20 minute drive away. Additionally, the small town of Tirau ~5 mins away has excellent cafes (tucker and the baker were our faves). Stay here. You won’t regret it!
