Kaimai Sunset is a perfect place to stay for exploring the area. Brenda is a welcoming host. The accommodation is detached from the main house and felt private. Very convenient to Hobbiton. Food is only about 10 mins away in Te Poi (Recommend the tavern there). There is little light pollution there and you can see a brilliant night sky. The garden on the property is lovely as well. Matamata is an easy drive if you are looking for more shops and restaurants. New World grocery is there and the deli is a good option for dinner takeaway. Highly recommend staying here.
