Lovely, well kept and super clean studio appt. Our hosts were very welcoming to us, and knowledgable about the local area attractions. The studio is set in the rolling hills, and is a real farm-stay gem. Continental breakfast supplies are in the studio so you can have breakfast whenever you like. Well stocked pantry and kitchen too. Lots of parking should you need it. If we come back to NZ at some point, we will come back here again :) Fyi...it really is a great base to travel around the local area. ( Hobbiton is less than 15 mins away).
