Great location and well appointed room with lovely covered area outside.

Lloyd New Zealand

Home made bread was made by Tracey the afternoon before, and well covered (I put a large additional plastic bag over it that evening, just to make sure it would not dry out too much). It tasted very nice, with the condiments of sweets and peanut butter as provided; however a pity that cheese was not part of it, made good though with plenty of fresh milk.. No fruit either as far as I remember. I did like both easy chairs in what was a large single room (one was a 'lazy'boy'). Can't remember the shower, but... see next...

John New Zealand

loved the location - just down the road from Hobbiton no short drive to town centre which made it super easy for us. Very comfy bed and huge bathroom. Loved all the treats especially the homemade fresh bread! Kevin and Tracy are lovely hosts :) would highly recommend.

Izabella New Zealand

It is places and people like this that make traveling that much more special. Tracy & Kevin have made the absolute perfect BnB experience. From being greeted at the beginning to fresh baked cookies and homemade bread (yum!!!) AND a very short drive from Hobbiton which is perfect for those doing the evening banquet. Also, must mention the bed is SUPER comfortable. Buckland BnB made Matamata that much more memorable!

Samantha United States of America

This first 10.0 I’ve ever given and I wish I could give an 11.0. This place is hands down, the most comfortable night’s stay I’ve had in years. Very close to hobbiton, and a great place to have a glass of wine (or three, haha) under the stars. What made it perfect was the home made bread and delicious milk! Only thing I regret is not staying longer. Fantastic place!

Benjamin United States of America

Arrival and checking in very easy. Location easy to find as just 5 min drive from hobbiton. Breakfast was stocked in room(cereal milk juice tea jam pb and host brought a loaf of fresh bread over in evening). Bed very comfortable. Nice bathroom.

Samantha United States of America

tracy provided freshly made bread on arrival which made great toast in the morning. other buffet continental breakfast items were available, and some little treats. nice spacious well appointed room, lorna claimed it was the best night's sleep in weeks on the road. pleasant bathroom and shower. tracy was both very personable and informative. her recommendation of the indian restaurant [BYO] was solid. and it's a most convenient jumping off point for hobbiton.

Carmichael United Kingdom

I was genuinely surprised by how nice and welcoming the room looked. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was great. There was milk in the fridge, jam and other stuff for breakfast, cookies... and probably lots more i cannot remember right now! There were also some magazines to read, and the owner brought us home-baked bread, which was absolutely amazing!! If we get to visit the area again, we will definitelty try to stay there. Tip: if there are clear skies the night you stay here, step out and look at the sky! Thank you for a great stay!

Maria Spain

We absolutely loved our stay here. Not only was the accommodation wonderful, but Tracy was lovely and really made our stay here stand out. We even had fresh baked bread for our breakfast! Plus it's only a short drive to Hobbiton if you're visiting. Highly recommend - five stars!

Jo Australia

Such a fantastic place to stay. Tracy, our host was very friendly and accommodation exceeded our expectations. My husband said it was better than 4 star hotels we had stayed in. This accommodation is 3kms from Hobbiton so if you are doing a tour there it is perfectly located. Would definitely come again.

We welcome you to our funky red apartment set in a stunning rural setting & the CLOSEST BnB TO HOBBITON. Our 'purpose built' apartment is cosy & luxurious. The apartment is private, set apart from the main house. Kitchenette with all amenities to make yourself at home. We make our guests feel welcome with lots of added touches such as chocolates, freshly baked bread, magazines etc. There's an outdoor area for you to enjoy. Separate ensuite bathroom complete with fluffy robes. We provide SKY TV and free WiFi. Very safe off road parking. Leave each day & visit spectacular & iconic tourist destinations & then return here to unwind.

Kevin & I have a keen interest in people so having travelers from all over the world coming to New Zealand to enjoy a holiday & take in our beautiful country makes having a BnB the perfect business. I love to hike, fish & read. I also love to write & have published a book of original inspirational quotes. I'm very family orientated so having family around is great.

Our BnB is only a couple of kms from Hobbiton and not only that we are not far from cycle ways, bush walks, golf courses, restaurants & cafes with Matamata only being 9 mins away. Just 20 mins away are both Cambridege with the Velodrome & Lake Karapiro & Te Aroha with their hot pools & cycle trail We are also not far from more of New Zealands iconic tourist destinations such as Waitomo Caves (just over an hour), Rotorua (55mins), Tauranga/Mt Maunganui (45 mins). Taupo (1.5 hrs).There is so much on offer.
