About this property

You won’t forget the peaceful surroundings of this rustic destination.
Spend a night in a real "Hobbit hole" in the middle of the Waikato. Close to Hobbiton (25 minute drive) Situated between my grapes and the Feijoa orchard. Everything is Hobbit sized and very rustic. Comes with a nice breakfast with homemade bread and bacon and eggs (own chickens) and homemade jams. There's and outdoor area made totally of pallet wood where you have the opportunity to cook, have a BBQ and have a dining area.
Only suited for one or 2 persons (pets only at prior approval, service animals are ok).
We (since 1984) are Rivendell Gardens, growing tomatoes, capsicum, beans, courgettes etc. for the local farmers' markets.
Named 'Rivendell Gardens' because of the Lords Of The Rings. One day I just wanted a Hobbit Hole, so I made one.
That was about 7 years ago, later on I extended the space with a bedroom and bathroom to be able to rent it out as a B&B.
Everything is Hobbit sized and pretty rustic. I mainly used recovered wood or wood I milled myself.
You are allowed all over the place but not close to the house, My Daughter and family live there and like their privacy.
If you need help, just come to the red shed and I'm happy to help with whatever you need.
In a very rural environment, very quiet. 7 Km out of Cambridge.
We are on a non-exit road, plenty of parking, very rural.
About 25 minutes from Hobbiton, so you can visit the movie set and spend a night in a real "Hobbit Hole"

It was an interesting and unique experience. Directions to property were a problem. The address, phone number and a map should be on the web site. We got directions from the i-site in Cambridge otherwise we would have been lost' It also should be clearer that one should bring some barbecue food & wine for dinner as no eating places nearby.
