What an amazing experience. The hairy hobbit cottage was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The cottage itself is cozy, warm and felt like a true holiday from the first minute. Everything we needed was provided, including some freshly picked fruit from the trees surrounding the cottage. The outdoor eating area, hammock and outdoor shower made it very easy to spend your time enjoying the stunning views. Paul was a great host - he was very responsive and provided detailed directions. The cottage is ideally located to access wineries, parks and Motueka - though we didn't even want to leave the cottage! We enjoyed the vibrant bird life during the day, and awe-inspiring starry skies at night. Can't recommend this place enough! We're already planning a trip back. Thanks, Paul!
