Loved our stay here, will 100% try and get back when I next visit Hobbiton. Jan & Ian are the loveliest hosts you could find, Ian will even provide you with a one-hour tour of his farm animals as well. :)

Worth going to, stay at the Tower Road Motel, a short 15 minute drive to Hobbiton, and nice restaurants on the main strip of Matamata.
