Sheryl's place was very clean and the location next to Hobbiton (a 3 minute car drive to the tour site) was excellent. Sheryl was also very helpful, providing us tips for the Hobbit Tour, visiting Matamata, and other places of interest in New Zealand. She was up early in the morning to make us breakfast and coffee before our early morning visit to the Waitomo Caves (about an hour and fifteen minute drive). We only stayed one night, which was our first night in New Zealand, but her place was the best way to start our trip. And she exemplified the warm and friendly New Zealand hospitality perfectly.
