We could not have asked for a more amazing experience than our stay at Peria Hills Cottage. The home was a very short drive from Matamata. Hobbiton was only about a 10 minute drive away. The home is lovely, the location was perfect, and the views from every room in the house were stunning.
The home is well equipped and everything was clean and modern, just like the pictures showed. However, there were a few things that really stood out to us. First, Kelly and her husband were such wonderful hosts. They made us feel right at home and welcome. Second, the views looked just like the Shire. I felt, like I was a hobbit living in the peaceful, safe shire. In today’s world it was a wonderful respite from worldly concerns. Third, (but by no means least) the cows were such amazing creatures. Waking up to their gentle lowing and the way they looked at you when you talked to them was just delightful.
Thank you Kelly for a wonderful place to be, even if only for a few days.
