We found this beautiful guesthouse when we were driving to Matamata for a visit to Hobbiton. Coming from the north, it was very conveniently located.
We booked 30 mins before arrival but Teresa was very fast in confirming and making the house available to us. We happened to be their first guests as they had just put the house on Airbnb.
The guesthouse is in a rural area with gorgeous views in every direction but particularly from the front porch. The house was clean, spacious and most amenities were there.
In the evening we had a pleasant evening with a glass of wine with Teresa and Peter and in the morning they made us a superb breakfast. The guesthouse was very private however and in no way did we feel they expected something from us, they were just being generous hosts.
This place is a much better alternative to a motel if you pass through the area but it is also a nice destination to spend a few quiet days in the countryside.
