The lodge and area surrounding it are so beautiful and relaxing. If you need a quiet country getaway this is the place to go! And the close access to Hobbiton is a bonus. The lodge was very spacious, with a full kitchen and bathroom, and a deck to relax on and enjoy the view. The hosts were friendly and provided us with all the information we needed for our stay. Would 100% recommend if you are going to Matamata and we will definitely come again in the (hopefully near) future.
