Absolutely loved our time at Penny and Laurie's. Initially we chose this place because of the great location close to Hobbiton and the glowworm caves, but we ended up being really impressed by the friendliness of our hosts, full of stories, advice and recommendations. We felt like we visited friends and it was definitely a bonus the fact that they have 2 adorable cats with big personalities. Definitely recommend stay with them, probably our best stay in New Zealand! Thank you for having us!
