This was one of my most memorable AirBnb stays to date! We only reserved one night, but I wish we would have booked longer just to enjoy the peacefulness of this lovely cottage. I felt like I'd stepped into an Anthropologie catalogue - the design is so charming and relaxing. Everything was clean as can be, and the beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with breakfast essentials, cutlery, toaster, microwave, etc (very convenient for our early morning to Hobbiton!). My favorite part was all the lovely animals on the property - especially Jane's friendly kitty, Morrie! You really feel like you are in the heart of New Zealand here.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough - definitely stay here if you are planning a trip to Hobbiton, it's closer and so much better than anything you'll find in Matamata. Jane is an excellent host!
