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

Amazing stay. Maria was an exceptional host. The fresh bread, muffins, mini cereals and juice were a hit with the family. The pool table was a fantastic addition. Beds were so warm and comfortable, place was warm and we loved the set up. We will be back.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful time at the ‘Red Shed’ amazing hosts that went above and beyond to ensure the experience for our family was a memorable one. The pool table was a hit with our two teen boys also. Thanks again!

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.

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!!

Excellent communication from the owner making checking in late easy. Handy outside power point for EV charging. An enormous space with lots of seating options. Great water pressure in the shower. Generous breakfast options. The only possible problem is the blinds are not black out so bring eye shades if that bothers you (doesn't bother me).

This is essentially a pole barn, and I assume it was once used as one, as indicated by the slight farm smell inside. The fact it's wide open is NOT a negative it's nice having room to move around, and the sleeping arrangements just work. Nobody (5) of us bothered the other while sleeping or staying up later than the rest. It worked out great. The kids played a game of pool, and we all fed the alpacas out back with nuts provided by the host. The host showed up shortly after our arrival to welcome us and was very interested in sharing information about the area, asking what our plans were, and providing ideas and suggestions for things to do and see. Note there is a neat "downtown" area we wished we would have made it to town sooner to check it out. We visited both the north and south islands, and my kids, both 17-year-old boys, liked this area of New Zealand the best; the rest of us mostly agree, but it's hard to compete with the south island if you're into hiking and nature.
