Judith is absolutely lovely and such a great host. When we arrived later than expected (thanks Auckland traffic) she went out of her way to make sure we go to our Hobbiton tour on time. She’s also makes fantastic bread, which we had for breakfast.
House is super well placed for Hobbiton visits, as we took the shuttle at the matamata I site and walked home in less than 10 minutes, which means no worries in taking part in the open bar at the banquets!
