Tina & Stephen Somerville
Compact yet cosy little self-contained unit in the charming country town of Matamata, with breakfast ingredients included in your kitchenette so you can enjoy at your leisure. Separate from the main house, we have a self-contained studio unit for up to 2 guests, containing a room with queen bed, TV/Chromecast, free Wi-Fi, bathroom with a shower, and a kitchenette with microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, plates and cutlery, and tea/coffee making facilities. Continental breakfast ingredients supplied in your room so you can make breakfast when it suits you. The unit is compact but has everything you need with well appointed furnishings. Great for those on the go who need a comfortable night rest. Convenient when visiting Hobbiton as we're a 15 min drive, or a 12 min walk to the local i-Site where the hobbiton bus pick-up point is. The town Centre is 1 kilometer away, so a 10 min walk. Unit is next to the main house. You have your own entrance and parking is in our driveway, or on the street. The view from the unit looks into the garden which is part of the main house. There is an outdoor table and chairs for guests to enjoy the garden.
Tina & Stephen are a creative couple in their 40's who Iove local markets, exploring new foods and cafes, being creative, walks in nature, learning about other cultures, and enjoy time with their two dogs. Stephen is into cycling, and Tina enjoys cooking. They enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures as Stephen is originally from South Africa and Tina is half Kiwi, half Dutch who spent 10 years living and working abroad.
Hobbiton is 15min drive. Matamata raceway is 5min drive. Town center, shops, cafes and restaurants are less than a kilometer or a 10min walk. We are on the Hauraki Rail Trail cycle way path. The Wairere Falls is a short drive, as is the Opal Hot Springs. The Tower Road Museum is a 10 min walk or 2 min drive. Across the road and 2 min walk is a laundromat and Gull petrol station.
