Clive was a good host and introduced us to his animals. We fed his 3 alpacas, 4 ponies, 2 pigs and 8 piglets, 2 goats and many chickens. This was very enjoyable. Their house is very spacious and we had tv and a balcony to look over their property. The house is impressive with a couples shower and tub. We had many options for a cold breakfast with toast, tea and coffee. Downtown is about a 15 minute drive and Matamata is 1 hour for the Hobbiton tour. Nice stop if you like impressive Mediterranean house and farm animals. Very nice hosts.
