Wonderful staging for our family of 6 for a trip to Hobbiton. Hanging out with and feeding the alpacas made my kids' day. Hostess very responsive. Note that it is one large room with one bathroom with multiple beds but it worked just fine for our family

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.

Hobbiton Bach - We chose the property because of it's location. It was an enjoyable stay.

The pool table and games helped to add fun to our stay. The host was exceptional in her communication.

Great location and spacious place

The place was nice and spacious. We could play all the party games we wanted to without being concerned about knocking things over or getting the floor wet/ potentially staining carpets :)

A great place with a beautiful location. Close to Hobbiton, and cut little town. Very comfortable, spacious accommodation. The llamas are very friendly, and playing billiards an added bonus!

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.

Excellent. Quiet, very well catered and clean. Good shower and comfy bed. Kitchen has everything you need and more. Maria is very welcoming. Great for dogs, with plenty of places to walk dogs. Can't fault Maria's property. I highly recommend it and will return next time we're in the Waikato.
