If you’re wondering if you should book this home, DO IT! Judith is the most welcoming, hospitable host you will ever meet! She makes you feel like a member of the family, and even hosts group dinners for everyone to share and talk together over. Breakfast is lovely and you are welcome to enjoy fruits from her garden, including delicious feijoas. The home is a short walk from the town of Matamata, making it easy to get to your tour bus for Hobbitton. Judith also has lots of suggestions on where to go in the surrounding area if you find yourself with some free time. I wish I could have stayed longer!
