I stayed here because it was on my travel route, in the location I needed to be, and it looked very cute. I’m a LOTR fan but not a total die-hard, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Izzy and her family were so great and welcoming. They’ve built an AWESOME hobbit dwelling with hands down the most comfortable bed I experienced in my time in NZ. They also pointed me to the Hotel restaurant/ pub for dinner, and I ended up having a great meal and making friends with the very friendly locals. Last, they provide an amazing breakfast with so many great little treats, more than I could eat! Great experience that I wasn’t totally expecting and I absolutely recommend!
