Beautifully designed with thoughtful touches and an amazing breakfast. The Nikau room has the extended lounge which is separate from the bedroom and is very spacious. Bonus points for Billy the labrador (who will be kept away if you don't like dogs.) Debbie and Chris are great hosts!

How can such an beautiful and amazing place be described? Just go there ! From the first moment, when we opened the door we felt like home and very welcome. There are such a lot of details making this place unique. The view in the morning from the bed, the view in the evening over the valley seemed not to be real. And the the owner Syd - helpfull, kind, also unique and such a positive person. Thanks a lot once again Syd..

Best place we have stayed in in NZ. Lovely cottage with everything you might need. A lovely host and a wonderful detail area to enjoy the evenings and mornings. Lovely details with homemade cookies and cakes and even fresh fruits when we arrived 🥰 Would have loved to stay longer.

I loved this place! it is my dream home, surrounded by greenery and hills. Our room was simple but spaciuos, clean and tidy with a big bathroom and a very comfortable bed. There is a small kitchen equipped all what is needed, the breakfast was very nice! even if we stayed for one night only, we felt like home! a plus is the hot pool iacuzzi in the garden, fantastic! the surrounding garden is so lovely and the cat is adorable! The BnB is 10 minutes by car from Matamata town and around 15 minutes from Hobbitton movie set.

The people here are so friendly and helpful, and the weather was great! Loads of food choices and a great supermarket. Easy to get around and easy travel to major centres like Hamilton, Rotorua, Tauranga, Taupo.

Putaruru like so many smaller towns in NZ struggles.

Putaruru like so many smaller towns in NZ struggles. It is obviously on the main route for heavy trucks and few seem to stop over. Not much choice of sit-down food outlets but Wooden Farmer staff worked hard to make sure we were happy when we had dinner. Short drive to Rotorua and Matamata which was good for us. Local supermarket is small but carries a good range.

It was everything we expected because the photos of the rooms depicted exactly what it was and it was affordable. I could park my car by the front entrance of the Hotel and the Staff were friendly. If I had extra time I would of loved to hang out for another night or two.

I stayed (1 night) overnight on my way to next destination, this is long enough. I did visit the Blue Springs (still free entry at the time of writing but they are building a gate!) but unfortunately access was blocked due to rock-fall. Walking along the river was nice but there are steps and when wet it can be slippery. Car park is small and fills up fast. People were friendly but told me there is nothing to do.

It should be made clear that the hotel has NO food facilities, not even cornflakes for breakfast! Receptionist did recommend a decent cafe for breakfast but I was very surprised on arrival to find no food facilities. Shoulda read the small print! Not much of a view of Putaruru as it was foggy in the morning.

We visited in the middle of winter and the weather was awful but we did go to over the moon cheese factory ( they were unable to offer cheese making classes at this time because of covid) but gave us some cheesetasting and because it was the first thing we did we were able to go back and buy more yummy cheese before we left, the water park in the middle of town was in the middle of a revamp which is good because when it comes to summer it will be ready, the wooden farmer was delicious, next time we go to Putaruru we will pick a time of year that has better weather so we can enjoy some of the beautiful nature walks they have.
