Brenda's home is nestled in a peaceful, scenic area only a short distance from some nice hiking, a cool creek, and, of course, Hobbiton. We used it as our home base for traveling to Rotorua as well, which worked out nicely. We cannot say enough good things about this spot. The property is covered in beautiful flowers and fruit trees. The unit is clean, spacious and comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped and Brenda provided a tasty breakfast spread. We also took advantage of re-watching the Lord of the Rings movies they have on DVD (a nice touch!). We did some stargazing while soaking in the hot tub, which was splendid. We would highly recommend this place!
