An amazing place to stay out in the country and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The homemade bread for breakfast was divine!!! Thank you so much!!!

We love the cottage - the farm lifestyle - waking up with the cows mooing… the fresh air… the sunrise!

The set was interesting but we were lucky to book a Banquet Tour - this was so much more enjoyable as not only do you do the walking tour in daylight - you see it after dark when everything is lit with lanterns and the banquet was amazing food with generous Hobit style servings

Do the evening dinner tour and wear comfortable shoes as a bit of walking over some rough terrain to travel through the movie set.
Very good tour staff and very interesting information about Lord of the Rings.

Hobbiton Movie Set was a revelation, it was so fantastic, I would recommend that everyone make the effort to got and see it. They have big busses that take you and your buses tour guide from the base, cafe and booking offices, to the actual film sets, and the guide gives a comprehensive running commentary about many aspects of the filming of Lord Of The Rings, and The Hobbit. I loved it, and now will watch the movies with much more understanding. A big thumbs up from us 3 older ladies.

Went there a day earlier than planned but this was no problem to the staff. They just shifted us to a visit that day and then we had time for some lunch before getting on a bus and being driven to Hobbit site. Our guide was very good and kept us moving along with an excellent knowledge of the Hobbit sets.

This is a must if you go to New Zealand.
This is a must if you go to New Zealand. It's not a tourist trap. It's a nice 2 hour tour with a dedicated guide. Interesting anecdotes about the filming of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Even if you aren't a fan you should go but don't forget to book your slot well in advance ! You should stay a night at the Country Retreat BnB in Matamata. Sheryl and Greg have a beautiful place only 5min away and they'll treat you (and feed you) so well that you won't want to leave !! Blue Spring is a short drive away from Hobbiton ...

It was clean and spacious, location was relatively convenient, we stayed for a night so that we could go to the Hobbiton Movie Set which is 20 mins away.
It was very comfortable and spacious. The facilities were excellent and the owner friendly and helpful. I stayed after a visit to the nearby Hobbiton movie set so the location was excellent
Excellent location- a 20min drive to the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour and only one hour from Rotorua. The room was lovely and big with a very comfy bed and excellent shower. Outdoor seating area was an added bonus as was the TV with a variety of DVDs. Breakfast was already in the fridge and was a good selection- bread for toast, granola, yoghurt, cereal and tea/coffee. Great that we could prepare for ourselves since we had an early start the following day. Wi-Fi was very fast.
Very kind staff, our room was super clean and tidy with all the amenities that we required to spend a night. The best is that it is located so close to the Hobbiton Movie Set, so it is ideal for a morning tour.
Location for us in Matamata, close to the Hobbiton Movie Set, was excellent, about a 15 minute drive. Room was big, with everything you’d want. Laundry facilities a couple of doors down, heater for the cooler weather, plenty of power points to charge up your gadgets. Very affordable, great value for money.
Very friendly hosts and dog called Hunter. Very healthy generous continental breakfast. Exceptionally clean property. Beautiful garden to walk in. Great location for Hobbiton movie set experience and township of Matamata.
