Pros: Excellent location, very comfortable & cosy, and everything spotless and clean and fresh. Regarding wifi, owner notified with a sign in the room that wifi is via satellite and not fast, which was great to be aware of, but I did need to upload photos for work, so may have exceeded their limit. When possible / technically feasible it would be well worth upgrading - so that guests can use streaming TV etc. Excellent accommodation - private, excellent condition, great place for work or family stay and nice rural grounds. Would definitely stay again.

Pros: Fantastic Hosts - Home away from home. Simply a fantastic stay!
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The house was beautifully designed and decorated with a lovely area for guests to spend time outside of their rooms if they wished to do so. The room was immaculate and the beds were incredibly comfortable. In the morning you wake up to a wonderful breakfast with croissants coming right out of the oven and can go out and see the sun coming up over the fields as well as watching the alpacas. The location is spectacular, it is only about 10 minutes from Matamata, but still gives you a very relaxed country side feel. The owners Denise and Bruce are kind, caring, and incredibly helpful, they helped us to find a good place for dinner, get on our way the next day, looked to see if they could get us a ticket for Hobiton, and even sent along some fruit from their tree.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Our experience was AMAZING! Definitely a place worth it to stay one extra day just to relax and enjoy the magnificent nature around. Denise and Bruce take care of all details to make you feel welcomed and was a pleasure getting to know them. We booked the property because would be easier to get to Hobbinton, but I would highly recommend 1 extra night to relax and enjoy the incredible atmosphere. We loved it! Ps:the breakfast has an awesome croissant :)

5.5 Okay
Cons: Could only get UKTV on sky. Wanted Sky sports (2 semis of rugby and no Sky sports) but got nothing but static. Spoke to office lady who tried to fix it but she gave up after 1 try. Although rooms clean, lots of minor repairs need doing had to reset button in bathroom before hairdryer and spa bath worked. Spa both covers on outlets all loose. Outside of fridge full of rust.
5.5 Okay
Pros: Very warm welcome
Cons: Incredibly dated decor. The room stank of cleaning products - overpowering, like they were covering other bad smells. Rooms on both sides of me sat outside smoking and the smoke, even with my windows closed, found it's way into my room. I smelled like smoker on my return home. The bath's non-slip bits had fallen off and the screws were showing with what looked like rust starting to form around them.
5.8 Okay
Pros: That it gave us a location for overnight stay. Also allowed us to travel into CBD looking for suitable restaurants.
Cons: [1] - the venue needs some distinct property re-development; [2] - up dating compendium in room[s] - it was dated, especially data on local restaurants; [3] - staff in morning, meeting us as departing guests in pyjamas.
