The “House of Hazel” are two modern chalets tucked at the end of a private driveway. Each can comfortably sleep 3. Each is fully equipped with a small kitchen and bathroom with washer. It’s very clean and modern and private.
It’s 15 minutes to Hobbiton Movie Set. We drove in (2 hrs) from Auckland the day before and slept in one more night for our onward journey. There are other attractions in and around Matamata to make for a full day.
We stayed in July and each chalet has enough heaters (mounted and portables) to keep you toasty and comfortable. The beds also have warming pads.
Melissa was a great host. She gave detailed check-in instructions. She even started the heaters before we arrived so all we have to do is settle in. The place has nice touches: Fenced in yard and Zen garden; chocolates on your pillow—Well, there were chocolates but they’re on the night stand. We would stay here again.
