    A place in the Paddock is a lovely space on a farm just outside of Matamata- there is a small museum on property- the space is clean, quiet and just lovely!

    The calming sounds of the surroundings, the shower, the lemon tree (and homemade lemonade), the board games, and all the cow-themed stuff.

    Very comfortable, spacious lounge. Large, well-equipped kitchen. The best-appointed place we stayed on this three-week trip. Flannel sheets on the beds were a nice touch. The property is surrounded by pasture, with hundreds of cows to greet us...

    It was so cozy and perfect for our family of 5. Wish we had more time! Came for Hobbiton and it was a perfect location. The kids were excited about all of the board games!

    Clean, plenty of linen , sheets, towels, mattresses etc to cater to our group of 11. We loved the cow theme throughout. The kitchen equipment was tidy, in good taste and adequate for our needs. The location was convenient for our trips to Rotorua...

This properties entrance is on the Hauraki Cycle Trail, only 2.5km from town. The cottage is surrounded by farmland. You will have exclusive use of this 3 bedroom country home which can easily accomodate 7 people. An 11 minute drive to the sensational Wairere Falls bush walk. 17 minutes to Hobbiton Movie Set. Has foam mattresses for groups up to 11 as well as a portacot. Matamata is a thriving town with many cafes, restaurants and shops to explore. The pathway from A Place in the Paddock to town means you can stroll to town.
Hope you enjoy your time at my peaceful cottage. Justine x
