The location is perfect for folks who want to visit Hobbiton. You can walk to the Matamata i-site location from where there are departures. It's also close to restaurants, petrol stations and convenience stores (they do shut shop early though). Communications with Bridget was very easy and she responds quickly. Check-in is easy if you follow the instructions in the trip booking. The home has 2 large bedrooms and plenty of towels/sheets etc. We were just 2 people using the entire home. Its probably better for families with kids (there is a washer and dryer). The kitchen has pretty much everything you will need. Plenty of books for all ages and some board games. We stayed for about 12 hours and overall it was a good experience. Thanks Bridget !
