Great spot, wonderful host

The Shed was roomy and comfortable with great entertainment (pool table, games, tv, books, feeding the animals), good breakfast provided, a lovely park next door and so close to town (lots of dining options) and also handy to Hobbiton, golf, hot pools. Maria was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and was so helpful with our dogs - we really enjoyed our stay.

Our host, Maria, was a delight. We came to the property late after Hobbiton due to a cancelled flight. No time to get a SIM card at the Auckland Airport so I missed her messages about leaving a key for us. She was so gracious when I knocked on her door and helped us get settled in. Let us some animal feed to give the animals at our leisure. Lovely to talk to and the master bed was so comfortable! Would book here again!

Cute and Comfortable

We were only traveling through for one night and wish we could have stayed longer. This charming location was a comfortable joy to stay in. Loved the added bonus of getting to feed the alpacas and we devoured the chocolate muffins. Super easy check-in and out. Very helpful and friendly host. I would gladly come back and also recommend to anyone.

Amazing Location and Kind, Understanding Host!

Staying in this shed was a blast - it's one big open space inside (bathroom is a separate room) so it feels like a party. Surrounding fields and farmlands make it feel fun, and Maria even let us feed the alpacas, they were hilarious! We were in a car accident and Maria was flexible with our arrival date, and didn't even charge us extra for moving everything back day. Extremely kind, understanding,, and attentive. I would definitely stay again

Super stay in Matamata

This was a special accommodation, a giant room with queen bed on one end, kitchen on the other, nice eating table and comfy couches with large screen TV. Even a pool table! Maria provided a lovely breakfast with fruit and yogurt, bread and pastries. We were very comfortable indeed!

Lots of space

We really loved our stay here. Plenty of room and a lovely space to rest in. A couple of things though that would make it even better... a non slip mat in the shower would be handy and tea towels as we couldnt find any. Not a biggie though because we loved it here nonetheless.

Modern Studio, Great Hospitality

Spacious, clean and modern, this studio unit is a buzzing place to stay. The host showed great hospitality with detail, from pre-arrival prep of fresh breakfast enough for everyone to welcome greetings. There are plenty of entertainment from snooker table to tabletops and a smart TV with Netflix, perfect for families and friends. Enjoy an encounter with curious alpacas and sheeps at the repurposed farm.

10/10 Host!!

Maria was an incredible host and we absolutely loved our stay in Matamata. Due to some last minute plan changes, our booking had to be changed, and Maria was the most accomodating, kind and helpful host we have encountered on bookabach. The property was clean, well equipped with all necessary linens and we had the most incredible continental breakfast provided for us during our stay. We couldn’t recommend Maria or this property enough. A must stay!!
