Our stay at this beautiful riverfront property was undoubtedly our favorite of all the places we stayed in New Zealand! We chose it because of its proximity to Hobbiton, yes, but we were so glad we elected to stay here and not some place more commercial. The cabin itself is a real labor of love with many impressive amentities- the comfy swinging bed, the outdoor shower, the fully stocked kitchen, the kayaks- but the highlight is the patio. Dave was super hospitable and came down as soon as we arrived to walk us around the property and very kindly get the hot tub started for us. We can't recommend this property enough!
