Close to everything Matamata has to offer, walk in and feel right at home. 10 minute drive to Hobbiton. Large, modern space which can accommodate one person up to seven people. Country views, just on the edge of town. Continental breakfast, large free parking area right outside your door. Child, pet and work friendly. A private, peaceful place, but so close to town, separate and away from main dwelling, you'll have 135sqm of space plus two lawn areas, one fully fenced with patio, furniture. One queen bed, and five more singles available. Well set out to accommodate one person, couples, groups, and families. Because the space is large and well set up, it can easily cater for professionals or groups working away. There is a separate bathroom, large kitchenette area, two comfortable seating areas, bar fridge and large fridge, especially useful for groups, and also a freezer. There is an office desk, and printing is available on request. Two heat pumps keep the whole area lovely and warm in winter, or nice and cool in summer. A lovely park is right next door and the space looks out on it. WiFi, 65 inch smart TV with Netflix, etc. There is a pool table for your entertainment. Around 10 minutes drive to Hobbiton, and Wairere Falls. Cycle the Matamata - Paeroa cycle trail, visit the Opal Hot Springs, or Firth Tower and Museum. Under an hour to Tauranga or Mt Maunganui, Hamilton or Rotorua, around two hours to Auckland CBD. Ample dining options, restaurants, takeaways, all just a couple of minutes drive away, or a ten minute walk. If you wish to check in early or check out late, we will accommodate this if possible. We can store luggage if you want to travel away, then return. If you are arriving to town by bus, we can collect you and drop you off by arrangement, there is no fee for this.

We are keen travelers, and enjoy everything about being a host, We will leave you to enjoy the peaceful privacy, but are friendly, communicative, and happy to help with anything at all you may need and are available 24/7.
Leafy estate with larger homes and sections, quiet, safe, lovely to walk around, Kaimai views, lovely well kept park right next door. Under ten minutes walk to the CBD of Matamata, or a two minute drive. Lovely restaurants and cafes in the town with a wide variety of foods. We offer Hobbiton and airport transfers, local tours to some of our beautiful outdoor spots, and also tours to other cities at your request - you will find an information sheet in the photo section. You will be staying in a large, modern, stand alone, private space, with private entrance, good size grassed area with patio and outdoor table and chairs, and large free parking area. We are on two acres, so there is plenty of outdoor space, and pet Alpacas and sheep in the back paddock, which you can feed if you wish. All in all, a relaxing, attractive area, Peaceful, country views, just on the edge of town. far enough away from town to be peaceful, but close enough for convenience. Close to everything Matamata has to offer, accommodating from one person up to seven people. Continental breakfast included daily - tea, coffee, juice, freshly baked bread, yoghurt, cereal, fruit. Large free parking area, suitable for a boat or RV, larger vehicle, or multiple vehicles if a group is staying. Around 10 minutes drive to Hobbiton, and Wairere Falls.
