We greatly enjoyed our time sharing Brian and Mel's home. It was the perfect location to visit Hobbiton. Brian's breakfasts were a feature, including catering for one gluten-free person. The glorious, secluded position overlooked the river and fields; albeit not far from Matamata. We had very private facilities, comfortable beds and a good quality bathroom. We particularly enjoyed sharing a glass of wine with Brian and Mel and a chat of an evening.
