My husband and I got into NZ late and really appreciated Frans waiting up for us. Since we got into Matamata at night, we weren't able to fully appreciate the beauty of this property until the morning. What a lovely working orchard! The property is close to downtown Matamata and Hobbiton (for fellow LOTR fans). The hot tub at sunset was a definite plus. We appreciated the in-room self serve breakfast and enjoyed trying feijoa fruit for the first time. Thank you Emily, Talbert, Frans, and Tineke for your hospitality! We would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again.
