Great hotel. Cool retro rooms but modern amenities. Incredibly comfortable beds and great towels. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Just a really nice, welcoming place to stay. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting the area or Hobbiton.

Parking right outside the units.Came in outside check in time but was able to get the clerk on phone. The sink design is awkward as the bath room sink is outside in the living room opposite to kitchen sink! This is a small town and the eateries are 5 min drive. Overall good place to stay.

Spotless room with everything no you could need. Located in quiet spot on outskirts of town - it was just what we needed after a hot visit to Hobbiton. Strongly recommend

This little studio was so very clean and exceptionally quiet. It’s an easy 20 minute walk on a safe path into Matamata, or turn right and go visit the Firth Tower museum, which was a delightful find for $10. The bed was great and firm and comfortable. The studio had dish-ware and utensils handy, as well as a microwave and fridge for the snacks I bought in town. Great hot water and water pressure, and again, everything was so very clean. Also, if you open the back window you can hear horses in the pasture behind you sighing contentedly. A lovely choice in a lovely place!

Great spot just on the outskirts of Matamata, quiet and cute and comfortable. You could walk into town on a nice day, but we drove in since it was spring and rainy or overcast. Lovely spot, would stay again!

From when we checked in to when we checked out, we never saw one person physically in the office or on the property. Felt like a ghost motel!!!
