Best place we have stayed in in NZ. Lovely cottage with everything you might need. A lovely host and a wonderful detail area to enjoy the evenings and mornings. Lovely details with homemade cookies and cakes and even fresh fruits when we arrived 🥰 Would have loved to stay longer.

Gerda and Twan are lovely and their place is amazing. Every single detail is perfect. Bed is super comfortable, the homemade bread for breakfast is yummy and enjoyed it in a very special company (two goats can’t remember their names 😅 ) A top place to stay!

I loved this place! it is my dream home, surrounded by greenery and hills. Our room was simple but spaciuos, clean and tidy with a big bathroom and a very comfortable bed. There is a small kitchen equipped all what is needed, the breakfast was very nice! even if we stayed for one night only, we felt like home! a plus is the hot pool iacuzzi in the garden, fantastic! the surrounding garden is so lovely and the cat is adorable! The BnB is 10 minutes by car from Matamata town and around 15 minutes from Hobbitton movie set.

The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10. Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great. Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok. Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.

Matamata is a nice little town with the usual array of shops and some good eating places. Of course its access to Hobbiton, which was the purpose of our trip, but enjoyed a pleasant evening eating fish n chips in the wooded, shaded park area by the Isite.

We were in Matamata for a wedding at Hobbiton which was a great experience for us, even though we are not Lord of the Rings fans. Plenty of places to dine and from Maple Lodge was an easy walk into the main centre of town.

We loved the location out in the Paddock. Was great to experience living in the middle of "nowhere" but still be a short 8 min ride away from the shops and restaurants in Matamata. Was also easy to get to Hobbiton and the Blue Springs and Rotorua. The Sunset over the fields was stunning. There were multiple games, books and a big flat screen tv for entertainment on a rainy day.

We loved our stay at Okauia Lodge. The location blew us away, it was beautiful sitting outside looking up into the hillside. Our host Alyson was amazing. The breakfast she provided was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are wanting a relaxed farm stay near Matamata and Hobbiton.
