Imagine waking and sunsetting every day in the shire. This private, well-equipped, well-stocked guest home is hard to leave. With a huge bathroom, sparkling clean carpet, warm hosts, adorable host cat, and incredible views, we found ourselves endlessly amazed by how comfortable and stunningly beautiful this place was. We spent our mornings on the patio snacking on the fresh bread that Kay baked us, sipping her freshly ground coffee and petting the friendliest cat in the world. You are 55 mins from Rotorua and 5 mins from Hobbiton where we lunched many times. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
