Lovely place to stay for the night - hosts were extremely welcoming and responsive. Suite was very spacious, and had the most comfortable beds of our whole trip. And absolutely beautiful, pastoral setting!
Spotless & comfortable suite. Friendly owners. Beautiful location. Appreciated the food stables. Very well appointed.

The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming - and we were even able to check in early. The place is in a nice quiet spot on a farm just a 15 minute drive from Hobbiton. Perfect location to stay if visiting there.

Only about 25 minutes from Hobbiton, which made it a great place to crash after the evening banquet tour. We arrived rather late and it was quite dark. When we woke up in the morning and saw the view we were blown away. Gorgeous spot with comfy beds.

Wonderful location amongst the farms with a single unit. Very accomodating.
A beautiful, isolated, quiet location with lots of room. We stayed two nights and enjoyed them both. We didn’t do much cooking, but everything was there. Beds were comfortable. The place was clean. The hosts were very pleasant and diligent at making sure we were comfortable.
There were three of us in Kauri lodge, but could handle a larger family easily.

Very peaceful and apartment is super spacious and well supplied with everything you need to relax.
This property is beautiful!! The home is fully furnished. It is accurate to the pictures and description, but it does not do proper justice. This property is an amazing place to get a break from the busy life. The hosts are very kind and make a very welcoming environment. The property is located next to numerous farms, so seeing animals daily is a bonus.

What an amazing place to stay in New Zealand. It is closely situated in the middle of a bunch of great destinations. Shona and David were excellent hosts. I would absolutely stay with them again. Best, Kristen and Edward
